The camera feed can be viewed directly by IP address over an internal network even without Internet access. The Android and iPhone mydlink Lite apps have a "Local" devices option that will show the camera feed provided the phone is connected to the same wireless network (i.e.: WiFi, not 3G\4G cellular). A computer or network video recorder on the same network will be able to record video from the camera as well. Obviously, remote live viewing will not work if Internet access is not available to the camera.

Yes, there are various ones out there that should work. In our case my wife uses ip cam viewer, the only problem is she cannot get sound. On my android devices and windows desktops I am able to hear what is going on w\o a problem. Hope this helps.

Can you reword your question I'm not totally sure what you're trying to say. First off though let you know that I modified the firmware in my TP Link to allow access between my camera and my android devices but I can find an answer for you if you redo the question

I was able to get stil images(picture) from my camera. I was NOT able to get anything from my camcorder.

Same problem here. It seems now you can only manage the camera from the same network/lan/wlan, meaning the computer or your cell phone and the camera need to connect to the same router at home.

Talk to your service provider regarding Internet ip if real and options for port blocked or not. (Canyouseeme.org) open port check tool. The way it's set up is continuing recording with pictures taking images when motion occurs. My opinion keep as originally set up works out fine. Image quality good for amount spent also lighting use yellow led or yellow type bulbs not white best for night vision image quality.

You need internet service with a wireless router to connect the camera in order to view it on your computer or smartphone. It's a very simple setup and once connected you can view the camera where ever you are. You can make the camera private (as I do) or public so anyone can see what you are monitoring.

I have had troubles from the start setting mine up. When I was finally able to do it, I could get it to play on my computer where it would record to the hard drive I assume as I was never really able to navigate it all that well. I also had nothing but trouble trying to view it from my android phone. I actually had to find and pay for an application that could find my camera online. I also paid for a service that I thought would help with the whole domain address thing but it turned out to not be a big help either. I hope you are really handy with electronics or have someone who can help you set it all up. I have had troubles from the start setting mine up.

If you do not have the user guide, go to your favorite search engine and type in "WMAU user guide for (iOS or Android)". Each camera model has a different set of instructions. I use iPhone with my Nikon P520 and I have had connection problems from day one. I just keep reconnecting to the WMAU until I get the pictures I want. Very frustrating to say the least.

Hello, I purchased one of these and ended up with an identical problem. I returned it to the seller and bought the Phillips VOIP model and base which sadly are discontinued. As for this phone you're experiencing trouble with, the best thing to do is to purchase the base intended for it. If not, there are other products available on the market which include a camera in the handset, though they are more expensive. I hope this explanation helps a bit. Kind regards and God bless.

As of now, I just got this item and I also have an android phone. It said it did, but when I downloaded the app on the android it seems to not connect. So I am still looking into this.

You need to learn about port forwarding. On your router, you need to go to it's web sight and open up certain ports and then set up your IP camera to use that port. It took me awhile to learn but look up some articles on port forwarding. Or go to the routers manufacture web sight. It should show you how to use port forwarding , It's the only way to see your camera from the internet anywhere. I look at my cameras with my Iphone. I't looks easy now , but took awhile to set it up right .

I think I had a hard time as well. I tried to view the video from the camera and it didn't work, so I fooled around with it to transfer the video onto my computer and it did work. It took a long time. I couldn't tell you how, I just saved under a bunch files and found one that worked. Hope this helps.

Camera comes with several it supports, but all Chinese and think you still have to signup with them, there are plenty of free ones out there to use. I use no-ip. Use to use DNSexit but the updater crashes a lot. Love this camera tho, and I have tried them all.

I use an android phone and i downloaded an application from called ZVIEWER from Zmodo. Look it up on the app store and if it is available then technically it should work. If not other apps such as IP Cam Viewer is another options. Technically any software of that type should do the trick but I have not tested it so I don't know for sure.Hope this helps.
