Do I have to have a wireless connection to use this? ie - if in car and no wireless can I still stream the movie from this device to ipad?

As you turn on the MediaShair, it makes its own wi-fi net. Then, you connect the iPad to that net. No third wi-fi gadget is needed.

The device creates it's own wireless access point (wireless network), so you can use it in a car with no wireless connection at all!

Yes, this device makes its own wireless network. If your movies are on a flash drive, USB external drive or an SD card they can be streamed to your mobile devices. It's very versatile.

You do not need a 'Data Plan' to stream movies, pictures, or files. It works on Android devices. Be sure it works with Apple devices. In theory, it should work with Apple...

Yes. This one will act as an access point, which provide the wireless connection to your iPad in the car. I just had a 10 hour road trip. Works perfectly!

There is no wifi or wireless connectivity directly with the camera, so no there is no way to stream pics or videos from the camera. However, the camera does have a usb port and an SD card. You can either quickly plug the camera into a laptop via the usb, or you can swap the sd card out. For example, lets say you have a pic or video you want to quickly share, you can take the sd card out and put it into your smartphone and send it that way. I know it's a bit of a pain. I actually no longer use this device anymore. I use my iPhone to record videos instead.

If you are not in a "Wi-Fi" you will not have internet access. In order to have all the time internet you have to upgrade the iPad and pay a monthly access fee.

I don't have an Ipad but I have an Ipod touch that I use for Podcasts and Audiobooks and it works fine with that because it plugs into the earphone jack. I have a tablet on which I watch video and tried that. It really is the same when the device is plugged into the audio jack so that you could listen to the movie while it was playing on your Ipad and it would come through the car speakers. I guess I never thought of watching a video because that would be difficult while driving. If your thinking of better sound for a passenger while watching a movie that would work. Hope this helps. i use mine all the time and I've had it at least 5 or more years.

If you are using the USB cable no. It has its own speaker built in but its not very loud and not great quality. I've never owned a smartphone but if you are using a USB cable to connect then it works just like any removable storage device. This does not have Bluetooth or any wireless capability by the way. But I wouldn't buy this projector. The cables you need to connect to other video sources like Xbox or DVD players or anything else have been discontinued. You won't be able to find them anywhere. I spent days trying. Even the projector itself has been discontinued. The only cables that you will find to fit this are for apple products, which I don't own any and never have.

You can stream from your iphone or ipad to the unit by plugging directly into it. You will not be able to do it wirelessly.

No. It can only stream music/video to a mobile device or you can "download" files through a web browser (PC) or an app (mobile device). You cannot "upload" files to it wirelessly, though...

You can connect to the Internet if you have a wireless router. Go to settings and follow prompts. You'll need to enter your IP address. Thus it should stream movies. I don't use it. I can stream movies on my Smart TV, so I just use the BD-F5100 for playing Blue Ray DVDs.

No, the device transmits a wifi signal that you can pickup on your phone or tablet. You will need to set your phone or tablet to the signal and you will be ready to use the device. A app is required to use and see the information from your car. A wifi device such as this is required on iPhones or IPads, whereas a bluetooth device will work on android phones. Hope this helps.

You have to plug it in. There is no way to wirelessly stream it. It comes with the cord to plug it directly in though.

The gauntlet makes its own wi-fi network that you will put your phone on while in the car. There is no need for additional wi-fi for the phone. This will stream fine in the car. It can also be powered if you plug it in after starting the wi-fi.

An iPad has no USB video port support. If you plug this into a WiFi broadcaster and download an ap on your iPad like CamSee you should be able to stream the video to your iPad via WiFi. A WiFi camera would cost less than this and a broadcaster together though.

I connect my Ipad and play any file from iPad. I think you need a player because hard drive will not play any file for you.

Yes you can. I have found that this device doesn't work well in cold weather. I leave mine in the car (I live in Massachusetts) and it does /has not worked well. I plug mine into my iPad and can stream it to my headphones. It will work.

No. You have to have it connected to something that can stream video, like a DVD player or a chromecast.

Generally you need to select a different audio output from your source device. I watched a movie from my ipad mini connected to the projector via a HDMI cable and used bluetooth for the sound to my Bose headset. I am going to try a bluetooth dongle to hook up a surround sound system. So far the wireless projection is pretty much false advertising. From an iPad it only does pictures and documents loaded in a special app. No video, PPT, etc. Useless!!!

I'm not sure I understand but if you mean in your yard, then yes. I have unplugged it from one area of our house and plugged it in an outlet out back and we still had wifi on our iphones. Your extender just has to be near enough to your original source of wifi to pick it up. Your other devices have to be near enough to your extender. I don't think this is for driving around in a car though. You have to plug the extender somewhere where it can still pick up your original signal.
