After setting wireless, will the camera work if I UNPLUG AC/DC power with the ethernet? I need to move it after setup.

Yes. If the wireless is setup, then you can unplug the camera and it will reconnect when you plug it in again.

No, only time you will use the network cable is when setting up. Once you engage the wireless mode, you can disconnect the network cable and place the camera anywhere within the same network. You do need to plug-in the power adapter cable. All our wifi cameras need plug-in power for stable WiFi connection. Battery powered wifi cameras are not reliable.

The camera can use a wireless network or be connected to an Ethernet cable. But either way it needs a power cable to work. You would need to run an outdoor outlet conduit box and have it power that way. But this is by no means a full weatherproof outdoor camera. At least not by my standards. Look into the outdoor vandal proof dome cameras.

I got the same camera and it works fine. Note that the camera is powered by the ethernet cable. To send power over the ethernet I used a POE switch.

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.

You need an ethernet (power over ethernet). I had one spot prewired. The way the cam is detected is via your power outlet.

do you have power going to the camera and if no you need to power it with the power cable that came with it if you are using cat5e to plug it in the use one set over wires top power it there is a adaptor you can buy to do this

It can broadcast via both ethernet and Wireless. To initially set up the camera, it use the ethernet cable to connect to the router. After the wireless is set up in the camera, the ethernet cable can be removed.

Cameras that accept power over ethernet connect to POE. I would make sure the camera you are using is POE before connecting. The LAN side plugs into a switch or router.

So you plug the master power into your standard outlet and insert the cat 5e cable from that power source into your router. Then pretty much do the same for the camera, plug its power source into a standard outlet and plug in the ethernet cord to that and then the other end goes into the camera. Its power over the ethernet cable. Just besure to not use any extension cords or surge protectors, as it messes up tge transmission. The instructions state bothpower sources have a surge protector in them. Definitely a DIY job, nothing fancy, very straightforward. All the best! Its a great unit!!

Wireless can be flaky. Reset power to both wireless router and camera whlie they are close in proximity. Try to access the camera again. If unsuccessful, you may have to temporarily use a cable, then consult the wireless admin screen in the camera. Make sure the channel in the site survey still matches the setting in the camera. When successful with wi-fi, try putting it back where you want it. good luck.

I have two 9821W cameras. The one with the extension cable is being used wireless. The other one is in a part of my house that does not get a good wireless signal from the router so that one is on ethernet. Amazingly the wireless camera performance is better than the ethernet camera when accessing remotely.

hmmm, you may not need to. If you connect it to your laptop via the Ethernet port you may be able to setup the wireless connection on it. I don't think you necessarily have to be plugged into a router. The camera will be setup with a default IP Address right out of the box. The idea is for you to access the camera's settings from your laptop directly connected to it via Ethernet. From there you can go to Network/Wireless and have it pick up your wireless connection. Hope this helps.

No, This camera does not support a direct Power Over Ethernet connection, you can run the camera off a wired connection but you need to provide power independently. You may be able to buy some accessories that allow you to split the power from your POE connection to power the camera (check the power specs for more info.)

Each camera has to have ac electrical power. For example, if you mount cameras under the eaves on your house, you'll have to route an ac power wire, such as an extension cord, from an electrical source to each of the cameras. Since the cameras require an ac power cord, they are not really wireless. "Wireless" refers only to the WiFi data signal, which is transmitted wirelessly between each camera and your home's router. Installing outlets and routing ac power wires inside your home's attic is likely to be a major hassle for most homeowners. The display also has to be plugged into an ac electrical source.

Same problem here. It seems now you can only manage the camera from the same network/lan/wlan, meaning the computer or your cell phone and the camera need to connect to the same router at home.

Here is probably what you want to do.1) Configure your router's DHCP server to assign a specific IP address for the camera's MAC address. (There should be a label on the camera with a MAC address printed). 2) Connect the camera to your router using a CAT5/6 cable so it would get a IP address assigned via DHCP.3) Open a web browser and connect to camera at the IP address assigned.4) Go to the Wireless setup screen, do Site Survey and pick the wireless network you want to connect to and enter the required WPA2 password.Once you confirmed the WiFi connection is working, you can unplug the CAT5/6 cable.
