Is there any cable this camera has to conect to? I have a wireless router.I am looking for something I dont have to run any wires to.

honestly I have the fI1810w Camera and at first I had to hook it up to my wireless router for the initial hook up but then once I set up the wireless connection to my wireless router the only cord I have is the 5v plug that plugs into the 120v outlet from my house and into the camera itself

This unit needs power. It comes with a adapter that you can plug into a local 120v outlet or you can run ethernet to it and use POE (Power over Ethernet). Either way there will be at least one cable running to it. It is wireless capable so you can use the wireless router for the ethernet connection.

Initial setup requires you connect the camera to your router, after that it is wireless other than the power source.

I don't have the outside camera. I have a wireless indoor Foscam camera that I use through my router. It does have to be able to be plugged into electricity. Sorry I cannot answer the question about the outdoor Foscam.

When setting up you have plug it in in your router so it learns your home network. Then you can use it wireless outside but it won't reach very far. The angle is not very good on this camera, the infra red at night is ok tho. I got the zmodo 4ch kit after returning this cam much better angles but not very good night vision cams you have to upgrade to better ones.

For wireless camera you don't need wire but need good network connection. I don't know how your wired camera now connect to view. For the wireless you can download free Apple or Android application to view.

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.

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and a power source. Even wireless cameras need a power source . . . . So there is never a true wireless camera. It is best to take the time and wire all your cameras for you security needs. And make sure that they have the right power adaptor if you buy them separate from a kit.All the best.

You don't provide much info, but try connecting directly with ethernet to your network and see if that works. Is is just wireless problem? If so, and direct connect works, reset wireless settings, or maybe reset camera completely and setup again. If it won't work with direct connect, reset camera and see if your router/gateway can see it.

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.

NO! This camera has a seperate power cable which can be used to power the wireless lan capability. All camera operations require the separate power cable.

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

Nope. It hooks up to your wireless router. I have this camera and manage it wirelessly from my laptop.

The camera is "Wireless". The only wire is the power wire to the backup lights.

Cameras are wireless so not connected to computer or router by wires. Cameras need only be synched with router and plugged into the wall. BTW, their customer service is horrific.

The camera signal is wireless. It just needs 110v AC; I made small holes for the camera power wires, then plugged them in regular household extension cords from the light fixture in my attic (I got an adaptor for the light socket that has two outlets & the bulb socket).

we only used the supplied cables. I think you may need a booster to extend cable that far. I would consider wireless if there is power available to the camera.

There is no wireless connectivity. If you want this wireless connectivity, the easiest way to do this with this camera is to install an Eyefi SD card or something similar. Transcend also makes a similar SD card. The other option of course is to purchase one of the higher end cameras.

I'm assuming you already connected it physically with an ethernet cable to your router and was able to see the camera with the search tool?

plug the camera into a spare socket on your router / modem to start with. then run the set up software. you can then asked it to log onto your wireless network, click the refresh icon if need be to see networks. Sometimes you need to click in to the empty box for the network list to appear !

Run a cat5 cable from your camera to router and connect to provided white dongle to your router. plug power cord to dongle in at that location.
