We live on a mountain top so we DO NOT have internet via cable, satellite, etc. We only have our mobile hotspot, Verizon Jetpack. Most people have a modem which connects to their wireless router. If you do not have an ethernet cable to perform the initial set up for this camera, you cannot use the camera if you only have a hot spot.

It didn't use WiFi, but the infrared port on the front of the camera. No pairing necessary, just point the remote at the front of the camera and press the button.

We use this camera with a wireless router. We have learned the farther your camera is away from the router signal source the slower it operates. However, you can also connect directly to it using ethernet cable. Or, connect it to a modem/router using ethernet cable.

You can turn the camera's wifi on and it will act like a hotspot so you can connect with your phone and see a live feed. However, you will need to be in range of the camera's wifi, not sure how far that is, but I'm sure it isn't too much.

You can use the Foscam Android App to set it up. You need to set up the router a little bit before the whole thing can work.

I am not sure. I usually use wifi, but I think there maybe an extension but I maybe speaking under correction. It's best if you contact the seller Adorama Camera. The customer care answers swiftly and are very precise. Hope my answer helps.

it does not have wireless capabilities. I do not believe there is a way to cut back in and receive from a wireless camera

You have to hard wire the camera to your modem initially when it is wired you can then set it up using your smart phone. You would have to download the "pixpo" app and then scan the barcode on the side of the camera to link it to your phone. After you have the camera linked and installed you an unplug from modem and move to any location and it will work wirelessly. Hope this helps.

What they already said- NO. But, I tried a "wireless" before and unless the camera has its own power (battery), it has to be wired to a power source. That turned out to be less do-able than this system with power and communication going thru same cable.

Hi Karen,I was also confused about the same. Yes you can make it sync via WiFi ... BUT you do have to buy the eyefi SD card.It does not have built WiFi like newer cameras do.

We have some more similar cameras and they are running with the WiFi there. I also smart phone, tablets, etc., with the Wifi. I analized it from the router side, but I could not see any responses from the camera WiFi with either DHCP or fix address setting. It works fine with a LAN cable. The camera itself is fine and I am using it with a LAN wire setting now.

Not directly with the camera. You can use a WiFi SD Card like Eyefi to get the photos to your smart phone or tablet. Personally after using this camera I would skip it for a true DSLR or Mirrorless system camera. Olympus OM-D E-M10 would be a much better choice. IQ is so much better and has built in WIfi.

Yes, IF you have a Web Browser, Network and a Router (For the TRENDnet Camera to connect to) However, I've been disappointed with mine. Allow me to suggest http://foscam.us

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but as long as the camera is connected to and in range of your Wi-Fi it will work. My Wi-Fi is in the basement and I have cameras on both the first and second floors of the house. You can view it on your phone or computer anywhere in range of the Wi-Fi simply by logging in to the Wi-Fi address of the camera. In order to view it from somewhere outside your Wi-Fi range you will need to do port forwarding. (Port forwarding allows your smart phone or whatever your using to view the camera access to your router) Once that's done you can view the cameras from anywhere in the world as long as the camera is still connected to the Wi-Fi in your house.

Yes; by running the cable you are essentially extending your network by adding another router. Wifi will work fine as long as you are within range. Your camera setup should work the same way.

If you don't need wifi then you can find a cheaper and simpler model. This you can do that using wifi or the memory card.
