The DVR must be connected to the Internet using a CAT5 cable. It will not work through a wireless connection.- WJ.

Yes.Or connect the DVR on your network, install software on your PC and record.. (not easy to do).

no the cameras that come with this system are NOT wireless and DVR does not have option to add wireless...You will need a separate wireless receiver to plug in the DVR for a wireless camera to work

I am currently using my DVR and assigned an IP address to the dvr and I connect using the browser to see all the channels from any place in the world. If you want to do that you have to change the command and view port on your DVR, also place the ip of your DVR on the DMZ of your router(Wireless at home)

No it is not wireless. But it works really well. Not so easy to hook up to internet though. But wires to dvr, yes.

This is NOT a wireless unit! Each camera is wired to a special unit inside the house. If you want wireless this is NOT the item for you!

That should work fine. Have you considered the higher resolution camera. Just make sure you have a Power Over Ethernet router or use the POE from the DVR. I have three cameras connect through a wireless bridge. That works great.

Not sure about wireless capabilities since my system is hard-wired. However, some devices have the option to monitor the cameras using the Internet, but you'll need to have a switch or router connected to the recording device and configure accordingly.

Hi Nathan. I ended up returning this product. My husband wanted this but we currently rent a house and you need to run power to this camera which would require drilling holes. It is not totally wireless. I had also bought a package which came with the software needed to watch this. You could watch it on a computer or cell phone, but if you want it recorded, you need the DVR box.

Do not need software this is a camera - your DVR has the software in it - just go to the ip address and login using the user name and password you set in the set up of the unit. It WILL NOT WORK in your home network!!!! You must go to an outside internet source or you must use the ip address of the unit. I had to use No-IP.org because I do not get a static ip from my DNS provider.

The camera that come with it are wired but you can buy camera's that are wireless and hook them up to the DVR

No. It has an integrated wireless antenna. Your router can be anywhere in the house.

I need a camera to watch a room in my house when im away. I would like to be able to view it from my iPhone or computer. I would like for it to record like dvr but it has to be very discrete. I have wifi at home. I this camera the one I should choose? If possible 2 rooms would be ideal.

Yes, Just as long you have internet access. It uses a Cat5 connection to your router.Install the App to your smart phone or device, go through the setup and you're in. You will have alerts and logs when your garage opens or closes, you also can control open/close from anywhere in the world.This is an awesome product, I love it!Note if power loss or internet goes down, none of the features will work.

I would say Yes. This is a network camera, to use it to just record to view later would be a waste of money. The greatest advantage is to download the Dlink APP, then I can view with a phone, or tablet that supports that APP. We use our existing Cable Companies internet modem / Wireless router. Our camera is on our home WiFi. Newer Smart TV's probably could be used to set up door views, although we only use to watch our dog when we are not home. I can see it also to be used as a baby monitor situation, or to watch baby sitters although I think you have to tell them you video monitor ( without showing the cameras location). Not sure if that helps.

No you don't need a receiver or DVR, but you do need a computer with a web browser and a home wifi network to connect it to. It is not too easy to hack because it does include a built in password that you set.
