Are the cameras wireless or do I need to run cables?

You will need to run cables - however, FYI, even "wireless" cameras still require a power source.

The camera is wireless when connecting to your network via WIFI. It has a wireless N chip so it will have enough bandwidth to stream to multiple computers at once (if router has N also). This camera is not totality wireless as it uses a power cord to revive power. This camera does not run off batteries so it is impossible to do a true 100% wireless setup.

The Foscam cameras are all wireless. You use a supplied Ethernet cable to configure each one and then connect to them by name/ip address over the network once the wireless configuration has been set.

No it is not wireless, yes you will need excess wires to stem from the DVR to the actual cameras, depending on how far away from the DVR, they are positioned .

You need to connect it to your router with a cable initially, then use a PC, or a device with a browser to configure it for wireless. Once that is done and tested, no pc is needed, the camera is self contained, just needs power.

It is NOT a wireless camera. Sorry. Write HD Video Depot if you already bought it and they will hook you up with what you need. When I wrote em they were GREAT, both in time to respond and getting me what I needed.

Hi, no we do not have any wireless systems (cameras, etc) in our system. After speaking with a couple of different CCTV companies, they do not suggest wireless if you have an option. Just like internet, wired connections are always better/more stable than wireless.

NO! This camera has a seperate power cable which can be used to power the wireless lan capability. All camera operations require the separate power cable.

This camera is wired and needs an electrical supply. This camera is probably not going to work for you.

Only if you run an LAN cable out to the camera from a router. Without wireless, no signal... And of course it needs to be plugged in.

Wireless does not mean there are no wires--there is a cord for the electricity for the cameras.

Hi. Wireless does not mean it is battery powered. Wireless refers to wifi video signal it transmits to a router. All wifi cameras needs to be plugged in for power.

The camera signal is wireless. It just needs 110v AC; I made small holes for the camera power wires, then plugged them in regular household extension cords from the light fixture in my attic (I got an adaptor for the light socket that has two outlets & the bulb socket).

Nope not wireless. If you want a wirless camera try searching for a "wireless" or "IP" cameras, and they are usually viewed using software provided by the manufacturer or a 3rd party software provider and by typing in the camera's IP address. Hope this helped!

Not sure about wireless capabilities since my system is hard-wired. However, some devices have the option to monitor the cameras using the Internet, but you'll need to have a switch or router connected to the recording device and configure accordingly.
