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.

Hi! In my case, I was connecting my DVR to the internet, so I needed TWO poweline adapters--one to plug the DVR into, the other to plug the router into at the source. All I had to do, however, was plug them in and GO! No software to run, or extra setup needed. My DVR was connected to the internet in minutes. VERY quick and easy setup! I would definitely buy again and rec to friends.

I use Ethernet over power for my DVR and it's fine. It's the only way I had to get internet in the room with wire, so I have a switch controlling the Sonos, blu ray, and the DVR.

All our DVRs are like standalone computers, so you SHOULD NOT to directly connect them to your computer.You will instead need a VGA or an HDMI monitor with a VGA cable or an HDMI cable respectively.A TV set should be fine, although a monitor is still preferable.

You can, using the free app ASee. It does require some set up in the Defender DVR and in your wireless router settings but it's worth it.

The dvr itself needs a Ethernet connection (it has no wifi connecting ability's), you can connect with wifi on your iphone/android/computer with wifi a note: the best free on the iphone i have found is called mobile-eye others i've downloaded have/show stuttering frames or fail to connect point blank :)

yes, the DVR has to access the network to be visible on the computers via the internet in another building.

A high speed internet connection is required to the DVR to view anything remotely. Also an internet connection or 3G/4g lte is required in a smartphone or tablet to view anything once the DVR is connected to the internet. DMZ is also required on the DVR network to allow outside access through your internet router.

This thing. Just plugs into your USB slot in the back or front of your DVR. It works great with my sling adapter. I tried to plug both the WIFI and the sling adapter into a USB hub plugged into the back of the DVR, but it wouldn't draw enough power evidently, so that's why I plug the WIFI adapter into the front USB plug

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.

The idea of "wired" to a router is not the issue. It requires access to an ip address. It can do that through a physical connection or through a wifi connection. It only requires a hard line at the time of set up, after that it acts as its own video server in either a wired or wireless environment assuming you have a wireless router in your network.

I hooked mine up to a computer monitor. To get full system support the DVR needs internet connection also.

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

You will need a usb DVR dongle. It will be a USB that has rca connectors on it.

If your DVR has BNC style inputs, you should be able to connect it. You don't have to use all the same brand or style.
