I want to use this a camera in my barn that's 50+ feet away from the house. Do not have wifi. Will this camera work for me?

Only if you run an LAN cable out to the camera from a router. Without wireless, no signal... And of course it needs to be plugged in.

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.

this camera would work fine outside as long as you keep it out of the weather. i know that sounds contradictory but even though this says "outdoor" i would try to keep it under a roof or eave or something that shields it from the worst of the weather. as far as operating temps...i would not expect anything wireless to work well in the winter so take that into consideration if you live in a northern climate.

Mine works fine anywhere I have a cell signal. Does not née Wifi. However, the camera DOES require WiFi.

The camera can be connected via a cat5 LAN network, meaning if you have internet service at your garage you could connect the camera to the internet via a router. Some service provider internet modem are also an integrated router you would have to check. Otherwise the camera could be connected to a computer LAN/Network and connect directly to a computer, without at least that the camera would be useless.

If you're talking about 5 GHz on your wi-fi network, most definitely not. The "wireless" part of the camera system sends the signal from the camera to the (included) receiver inside your house, or wherever. The signal is analog, and requires an analog-to-digital converter before reaching your computer, and then, and only then, can it be distributed via wi-fi.

Steve ... You need to have both the Smartphone and camera on the same WiFi. If you get out of range with your phone it might not work as you asked. I have had reception as far as 30-40 feet at times.

I don't think so - it basically turns the power lines in your home into a short range Ethernet. You still have to have the camera plugged into something that sends the data on the ether-line. The only way a camera can be wireless is to be either broadcasting (there are blue-tooth cameras, but they are easy to hack - esp baby monitors) or self recording.

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.

Hello,The N600 router will reach the barn at 200 feet away however the signal will be so weak that you will be able to use it only for basic online browsing.I suggest you to look for an N900 or even AC1200 wireless router.Thank you.

No, it doesn't work with wifi. As far as I know there is no other version of it. You might wanna try a web cam

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.

You would need a wifi adapter. Nikon has one for about $60. I don't have one but it would be very handy.

Thx for asking! I've problem to get it connected to my wifi. My computers can detect it only when the camera is connected to the router with the cable. But when I remove the cable, my camera cannot be detected! I bought it on Sept 2014... Not sure if I can return it. &#128546;

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.

I have used the wireless aspect of the camera at ranges of about 100 feet without problems. I have a WAP installed in my lake cottage and use one of the cameras to keep an eye on my boat dock which is at a range of about 100 feet or so.
