Does each camera need to be hardwired to the box? Or can the cameras communicate through wifi?

These are not wi-fi camera. You have to run Ethernet cables from the cameras to your NVR.

Yes. You must first set up the cameras on a local wifi network. Most DVR boxes have a scannable QR code that will automatically put the information on the app. Enter username and password, and then press connect. MAKE SURE CAMERA SYSTEM HAS LATEST UPDATE!!!

These cameras do not come with a receiver or transmitter. Being that this is not a hardwire camera setup, each camera acts as a transmitter. All you need is an active internet connection to access the video feed. They simply just need to be within WiFi range. With this in mind, you are able to access the feed via smartphone, to include setting up tamper alarms, in the event an intruder attempts to jam that wireless signal. The limitations to these cameras are mostly dictated by your creativity to set up a custom alarm and trigger platform. Regardless, they perform very well - even at a basic level and as described.

These cameras are connected to a network either by wireless or directly connected. They do not have a video out connector to hook up to a recording device like a DVR

Yes, you can absolutely have the cameras be just on your local network (wifi or wired). There's are actually fewer steps required to do this this way.

There is a network cable included but you can use wifi! I used the cable just to program the camera. Then unplugged the cable and use wifi so the only cord is the power cord.

The receiver and any cameras that are paired with the receiver need electrical power. The wireless feature only applies to the signal coming from any camera to the receiver. There is no physical connection between any camera and the receiver.

If you set the camera up to work wirelessly then no you do not need to be connected to the same network.I have two of these cameras that I use remotely with my iPhone and iPad using cell service.

No- I have base camera upstairs and monitor downstairs and it works great. Every now and then I do have to unplug the video camera and re plug to reset the connection. Great monitor even in pitch dark and works within longer distance range. No wifi needed.

Each camera connects to the base with a small wireless kit. The kit comes with the connector and cat5 cable to attach to the base, the same as the hard wired cameras.

Cameras are wireless so not connected to computer or router by wires. Cameras need only be synched with router and plugged into the wall. BTW, their customer service is horrific.

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.

The cameras themselves are wireless - however, each camera requires a power supply and power cable.

NO WIFI needed.The camera communicates directly to the monitor, I am very satisfied with mine and use it to monitor my driveway.

No it does not require internet or 'wifi'. This uses a wireless connection from the camera to the receiver. The receiver then attaches to your tv or monitor via a rca video connector. The camera and receiver both need to be plugged in to AC power though, so it is not completely wireless.

This one needs cable, they have wireless. However the wireless requires a power outlet for each camera.
