I bought this set for a ranch with no wifi. I want to know if I need internet to set up the cameras? Can configure them? Will they work with no wifi?

You don't need wifi to set up cameras, but if you want to watch with your mobile cell, ipad then you need wifi.

Yes you can still use them with no wifi. It can still be configured. But without Internet service you will not be able to view them on devices unattached( I.e. cell phones or off site computer)

No, you don't need to wifi to make it work. But if you want to monitor from anywhere, then you need Internet connection. Remote access needs configuration, I use a free dynamic dns NO-IP.com to connect to Internet. Drawback is I have to activate service each month.

This is not a wireless system, so no wifi is needed. And you can setup the system without internet, thanks.

Camera works as long as it has wifi connection and that the wifi is commecting to the internet. There is a slight delay depending on your wifi speed, but for us it has not been a problem. We just bought cheap audio monitors as a back up.

You will initially need to hard wire the camera into the Internet to set it up but once it's done you can disconnect the Ethernet cable. However you would still need a wi-fi connection to operate the camera from your computer or iPad/android etc.My advice would be to either install the Internet to the cabin or if this is not possible you would need to look at a different system. An ip camera system will always need some sort of Internet connection.

Dear Amazon Buyer, no, it does not have to be connected to internet. Only if you want to remotelly monitor via Apps or any other devise logged to internet. As an additional information all camera cables are same lenght so from console all cameras will be at same distance but in desired directions. It is not WiFi ready.

They are not wireless. These cameras require a cat-5 cable and can be ran using Power over Ethernet. They also come with an AC adapter if you do not have a POE switch. Picture quality is excellent!

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.

No wifi necessary. It has it's own wireless signal for the monitor and camera.

Yes, will work without an internet connection. Either use the APE to create a wireless network, or join the APE to your existing wireless network

Yes it will work without an external internet. You do need a z-wave master controller of some sort to control it within tour home I.e. micasaverde.

Thank you for your question. Yes, the camera from the Baby Zoom Wi-Fi system will need to be plugged in.

Based on my experience, yes the system works off wireless if you want to monitor the video locally (ie, the monitor and the cameras are on the same LAN). However, if you want to view the video remotely, you need to plug the monitor into the router.

I don't have mine connected to either a computer or internet. I believe you only need to connect them if you want to view remotely (from your phone or computer). I have mine set to record for 30 seconds so if I want to view video later I can do that. I don't have a need for remote viewing so no computer or internet needed.

Finish using the Cam Ranger and then re-access your normal connection. You have to switch to the WiFi from the Cam Ranger for it to work, which means you can't be connected to your normal WiFi. If you are at home and using a tablet with the Cam Ranger you can still use your laptop connected to your normal WiFi connection. The tablet is better than the laptop for use with CamRanger anyway.

No, this is not a WiFi, this is a hard wired camera. I do not know what all you want or need to do with your system, but I strongly advise you to go with an all hard wired system. Just as effective run trough a DVR, can do all the same things, but with far better effectiveness. Now you can run your DVR through the WiFi and do all these things, assuming you have a decent DVR.Hope this helps, feel free to ask me more.Sincerely;Bigkinak

A little more detail: The cameras work off of extended Wi-Fi. No wiring needed. The camera(s) have to be viewed through a browser, phone etc. You can view one or several real time from anywhere with wifi access. While viewing the camera(s) you are using battery power on each camera viewed. I have found the batteries to last about 6 months with occasional viewing. The ones equipped for motion detection will create a snapshot or a video of up to 40 seconds when triggered. If you are manually viewing an individual camera you can click snapshots or you can activate video. My guess is that if you were to manually activate the videotaping for a continuous period the batteries in the camera would go quickly. I use these to view occasionally and to video upon motion detection. The great thing is you can have the camera send you a text and/or email when motion detection is triggered. It should be noted that if one camera on a base station is recording, the remaining cameras on the same base station are not available while the recording takes place. So, if you have one recording for 8 hours, any others would be unavailable. These are invaluable for being away from home and long term travel. Another neat thing is the videos and snapshots are retained on the VueZone site until you delete them (determining on your available memory) or copy them down to your hard drive. As others have pointed out, if you want continuous videotaping you need units with dvr/recorder and that usually means hardwiring as well. It also means the recorded video is probably on the machine onsite in your home or business where it can be removed by an intruder. And not all of those provide you remote viewing over the internet or via smartphone because they can't get past the firewall rules. Hope this helps

Yes, will work with no internet access (obviously won't be able to remotely view feeds/recordings). You don't need a computer at all. However, if you want to view the feeds/recordings, you will need a monitor or a TV hooked up the the security DVR.
