Does this unit require wifi to operate?

The unit will operate completely on its own with no external connections of any kind. It only requires that you plug it in for power and plus the video cable into a TV so that you can set your options and make sure your cameras are all pointed where you want to monitor. No internet connection of any kind is required.

No... You can hook it up to a tv monitor or computer but in order to view it on anything other than what it is hard wired to you will need internet connection ... It uses an ip address that you assign for when you wish to basically broad cast and you can set up a password to protect it from others viewing it ... Hope this helps !!

So if you are away you will need internet to view it.... Say on your phone through the app... Other wise to watch it at home no internet is needed

Nope. It has built-in WiFi and will connect directly to your router. Works well.

It does not, as far as I know. It's WiFi equipped for software updates, route viewing through iFit, etc., but the display is fairly rudimentary.

No. The unit must be plugged in to an outlet and powered on in order to function.

The one I purchased had Wifi. Check the description. Some are, and some aren't.

Does not operate on wifi. It operates on a less used and wide frequency that wireless phones use. It has a couple of different channels to select from to avoid interference. I have 3 in different locations around the house and workshop and no problems other trying to use one at extreme distances then, like a wireless phone, static ensues.

The unit has a USB WiFi adapter installed. You can connect wireless to a modem/router. Thanks.. Ezbuycafe

No. But it will feed directly to a WiFi point like the UniFi Enterprise WiFi System Access Point which includes a built-in WiFi controller. I recommend it.

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.

Sorry I don't know why it showed I hit yes in my previous answer. But no this does not require wifi.

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

No it doesn't have wifi capability, has to be wired to network or buy a usb wifi network adapter

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

AFAIK no wifi is needed. I have taken it to beach cottages and hotel rooms with no internet connection and it works fine.

Yes... you need to be connected to a wi-fi network, be it at work or at home.
