You need to have Internet in your home, so you can connect your DVR via LAN cable to the Internet. And you will have to access your router settongs and open ports in the port forwarding section. Once that is completed you will be able to view and receive alerts on your mobile device.

No. It's a Z-Wave enabled device and you need a Z-Wave enabled controller. I use the one comes from Front-Point Security.

I'm sorry I'm not the best person to respond. Maybe you might ask to the manufacturer in the support session at zmodo.com.

Actually it doesn't work like that. The camera itself creates a local wifi network, and your phone connects to ITS wifi network. (Manual includes a password).

It will ask for an update if it is needed. You will then need to download it over Wi-Fi

use it as key-holder and link it to your smartphone. zomm will sound whenever the two are 10~20 meter apart or wi-fi stopped at the smartphone

Hi, The latest version which we sell are WIFI ready. All you need is to buy a WIFI dongle, connect to the camera and you can have live view on your android based device. The camera itself also has an AV output, you can connect it to any device that has an AV in. Thanks

There was no such requirement when I reviewed this item. There was an offer to sign up with an external cloud service to record images, but it was optional. Your WiFi is your own business, not theirs, beyond using the camera to connect free via your local connection.

There is no alert the cameras work great very clear I have a alarm on my house so I can see if anyone is in there and then you can record or take photos

I have a smartphone so I can only affirm that it will send your smartphone a text when anything happens with the system. As a far as I have experienced, it does not have a feature that allows you to listen in to sound in the home after the alarm has been triggered. I have other cameras and if the alarm is triggered, I can log on to my other camera system.

Yes, there is an antenna on the camera which you can set up to link with your wireless router at home over wi-fi. You can also use a wired connection. You have to get all the information about your home network including IP address, network SSID, and password. It is a good start to look at the instructions that come with the camera, using their software, just walk through the prompts and input the information as needed.

A little more detail: The cameras work off of extended Wi-Fi. No wiring needed. The camera(s) have to be viewed through a browser, phone etc. You can view one or several real time from anywhere with wifi access. While viewing the camera(s) you are using battery power on each camera viewed. I have found the batteries to last about 6 months with occasional viewing. The ones equipped for motion detection will create a snapshot or a video of up to 40 seconds when triggered. If you are manually viewing an individual camera you can click snapshots or you can activate video. My guess is that if you were to manually activate the videotaping for a continuous period the batteries in the camera would go quickly. I use these to view occasionally and to video upon motion detection. The great thing is you can have the camera send you a text and/or email when motion detection is triggered. It should be noted that if one camera on a base station is recording, the remaining cameras on the same base station are not available while the recording takes place. So, if you have one recording for 8 hours, any others would be unavailable. These are invaluable for being away from home and long term travel. Another neat thing is the videos and snapshots are retained on the VueZone site until you delete them (determining on your available memory) or copy them down to your hard drive. As others have pointed out, if you want continuous videotaping you need units with dvr/recorder and that usually means hardwiring as well. It also means the recorded video is probably on the machine onsite in your home or business where it can be removed by an intruder. And not all of those provide you remote viewing over the internet or via smartphone because they can't get past the firewall rules. Hope this helps

You can use the Foscam Android App to set it up. You need to set up the router a little bit before the whole thing can work.

Yes but make sure you have it turned on in your settings and zmodo has great customer service to help you set it up though you will be on hold for a bit it is worth it

I am not sure about Live Cams Pro yet Zmodo has several phone apps for Android and Iphone. Just make sure you have a stable high speed upload connection for the camera. I have 7 of these cameras and another 9 of the POE 720 HD cameras. If you have any questions about the performance and the Zmodo live view apps I can give you some pointers.

There is a Zmodo app to view remotely on your iPhone on your home wifi LAN. Port forwarding on your router is required to view on the Internet.
