Can this camera work with other monitoring software? Does it use standard wi-fi for its networking?

a. No. You don't even install software on your PC. It's all done on VueZone's servers via an Internet connection. b. The system operates on the unregulated 2.4 GHz ISM band, which is the same segment used by Wi-Fi (802.11 b, g, n). It incorporates frequency-hopping technology (FHSS) to minimize interference with other devices.

Should work if both the tenvis and the laptop are connected to the wi-fi spot, but I found that you must periodically check the router configuration. Wireless connectivity is also possible, but I've found that the this connection is not constant and must also be maintained and corrected from time to time.These kinds of tweeks seem to be common for this price level of security camera. The strength of the wi-fi signal is also of importance as is the wi-fi traffic (particularly problematic in multi-dwelling units)

If you mean to set up the details of how the camera works? YES. Im a little technical and this camera is not a simple plug and play. I have yet to figure out how to get it to work on wi-fi so I have it plugged into ethernet and still have some kinks to work out. The quality of the day/night viewing is amazing and it basically works as a IP Camera. I think im going to buy some different software as I cant seem to get the record to work well.

No! There is no WIFI involved for any model of camera. There is a receptor on the camera that receives the line of sight signal from the remote.

This is not a router, just a HUB, so it should work with a security camera system. if you are asking for a wireless security camera that connect each camera to an ethernet port, yes you will need one port per camera, if not connected to a DVR or Receiver.In order to monitor the cameras over the internet, one or more ports will have to be open on the router. If you have more than one router, it may not work. Some equipements may work if the ports are open on all the router-modems firewalls.I hope I answered your question.

Sorry Ryan, I never make the test with wifi, cause I got my cam connected by wire to my network, but I can tell you I can get in to the cam by my iphone 5 without problem, the software has one way to see the cam for movile devices, than let you see and move the cam, so I think the cam will work for you ok

the cam will work on wifi , you only need this for set up. I had issues getting it set up and seeing the wifi on my router. i had to go into the cam using the IP address to do the final set up.

Can this camera be used standalone, or must it be part of a security system? I am looking for a camera to watch two pieces of property (two cameras) and alert me via text/email, so I can decide whether to call police or not. Both locations have access to router

The camera is just a camera with networking capabilities. Really iffy network capabilities. If you're looking for a reliable internet video link, look elsewhere. This is not it.

The cameras I'm using are IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet 48vDC. Not sure if this is common or not. It's what I have.

No, this DVR is designed to work with analog video cameras using BNC cables, not Ethernet or wireless from IP cameras.

Hi, it provide feature to do monitoring with camera using WiFi. I has 3 options - direct, indoor, outdoor. I checked direct and indoor and galaxy s3 and ipad (iOs7) - works great. You have to download everio sync2 soft. Then do some simple setting with you camera (connect to home router for indoor) and you can see camera image on your device. You can start recording and make picuters from phone or tablet. Very nice feature. For outdoor monitoring - you should have external static IP. Didn't try this option.

No. This is not an IP camera. it runs down CAT5 but only works with specific Samdung DVR's. Doesnt have an interface to the camera.

No it does not, but we hooked it up to our internet WI FI router and can view all the cameras locally or using the Swann provided software (Netviewer) we can log on securely over the internet and view all activity. The customer service walked me through the steps for connection and set up. It works great!

Yes. Your wireless router needs to be set up including port 81 which this camera uses. But it will work only on routers that sends and receives on the 2.7 Ghz frequency and the old wireless B or G. It won't with wireless N.

I tried something much like this, and it didn't work. I think there are timing issues. If you want a remote webcam, you may have to go to one that is wifi-enabled.

The camera only comes with a rudimentary software called IP camera tools, but has a firmware engine that will deliver notifications and send images. I prefer using a Mac package called SecuritySpy that pulls the ip stream and processes it for recording and notification.
