Does it require a dedicated computer?

You need a computer to set it up and store your videos. After set up, you can power off your computer (if you want to), the videos will be stored on the on-board SD card. When your computer is powered back on, the videos will be copied to your computer.

Nope. It hooks up to your wireless router. I have this camera and manage it wirelessly from my laptop.

The great thing about this system is that it does not require a dedicated computer. I use software on my PC, my Mac and have a subscription to Alert Commander to operate and monitor the system. I also recommend a large MicroSD card for storage.

If it isn't hardwired directly to your computer, yes. If you have wifi you need a router.

Yes, it's just like any normal Windows computer. There's no CD drive, though, so you have to download everything (or install via an external drive).

No you have to provide your own hard drive and operating system. It's a bare bones system, lacking the hard drive, memory, and OS.

Yes it doesn't need the computer to work. I was able to turn on the device and print labels without ever connecting it to the computer.

No software required. Your system was configured for this in the first place, so no.

No, it doesn't. But all the software you need to run is already on-board. Just plug it in and it runs. Has the typical office stuff, typical apps like connecting to Wifi, GCC tool chain, Arduino IDE with samples, etc. The instructions you can get from their website are pretty decent. Any more questions, please PM me at glivick@sbcglobal.net.

Yes I have it running on my sons computer. No problems at the moment. I hope this helps?

No, because you need a hard copy in the CD drive in both computers for the software to run.

Not on its own, you will need to connect it to a DVR or computer hard drive with the appropriate software.

The documentation file says that it requires a "Pentium Computer". So I doubt it.

No, none is needed,it is powered through the USB connector, which can be connected to the host computer or via an AC to USB adapter if no port is available on the computer. A USB data connection is needed for initial setup (password, etc.) but not for operation.

Nope! It runs on the USB power so all you need to do is plug it into your PC.

As far as i know No you have to plug into a computer and download everything

No. You need windows 7 and natively installed. I tried to update it with a virtualized system (Parallels) on my MAC and it didn't work, I had to barrow a computer. But is quick...

No, it is like a wireless mouse and keyboard. You still need the computer to work along with it.

yes, but you must be connected to internet. It will not load on a computer not connected. A little hard to install but if you follow the instructions carefully it will install.
