When your building does not have internet or wifi, can this work without that? Does it need a 3g card to work?

It will work fine. You will not be able to review it remotely, but can play it back manually from the DVR.

No. This phone doesn't have any data capability so wifi isn't really needed.

Hi. It has no ability to use a sim card for data/mobile, so without wireless there is no access to the Internet.

Yes and No. If your Internet wifi goes down what will you use for backup? 4G card is a great backup in case internet is down or disabled by thief. I have both and it helps me sleep at night.

If it is wi-fi only, then no data plan will work. However, if you have the ability to create a hot-spot on your phone, then you don't need a data plan, as you can simply utilize the wi-fi to connect to your phone instead. This is probably the most efficient way to to use your wi-fi when you're not in a trusted place.

Depends. It is not a 3G unit (which would require an account with a wireless provider anyway). This device will create a wifi connection as long as you have a wired internet connection available to plug into. You may also be able to use as a repeater for an existing weak wifi signal.

If I do not add data plan, can I still surf the web in the place without wifi?How do they charge if I need to go to the web for few minutes in the area without wifi?

You can use most apps without Internet. But, yes, wifi is the only Internet connection. No cellular.

You don't need any data plan or internet connection to use its GPS function. I have one and I used it without any extra service or plan and as a side note the graphics are very good and it works flawlessly.

It doesn't have WiFi build in. Its compatible at least with windows. In any case you always can extract the SD card and read it directly

Answer to the question "Can this be used without a data plan": Yes. I used it for two years with no data plans. It comes with a wifi to allow you connecting to the internet when wifi is available.

No. It does not need internet to work, but if you phone is dead (no battery power) it cannot respond when you press the button on the key-fob that would normally make your phone signal (beep, bong, ring, ding or otherwise sound according to your choice).

You need to have an available wireless network. Sure. You use an item like this with machines that don't have wifi cards built in. But this particular item is junk and I suggest you buy one that has a better user rating.

AFAIK no wifi is needed. I have taken it to beach cottages and hotel rooms with no internet connection and it works fine.

Hi Barbra, If you have wifi you really won't need a data plan but, you can add one. And, also gps.

I agree with Jacob. You cannot use this product. You'll need a 3g or 4g card that allows access to a cellular network. This adapter is for wifi only.
