Do you need at least a certain speed of Internet (e.g., 1 Mbps upload) for this to broadcast properly to a device outside of your network?

it varies... you have much control on the video type and frame rate which will vary the amount of b/w required. I'd say you may be able to get down to 200k but a quick call to Foscam tech support will tell you for sure.

Tim, I don't know the minimum upload speed, but I have 25 Mbps; I access the camera on my iPhone regularly, and the picture is great!

It doesn't and you really wouldn't want it to. WiFi has enough trouble reliably streaming media and if both your media server and players use WiFi the quality can take a bigger hit. The same applies for SMB file and printer sharing.

I have my Slingbox connected to my Hopper and have a 30 MB/s download/6 MB/s upload internet speed. I just tested the delay-it's about 4 seconds. It will vary based on your internet speeds. I've tested it over LTE signal snd there's usually no buffering on loading, but I couldn't say how long the delay is-and it really doesn't matter, because you're watching TV on your phone!

What if you live in a rural area, and even if you move your laptop or android phone near the router you still only get 1 bar on the phone and 2-5 on the laptop but only 54mbps speed on laptop. How does one boost the signal and the speed? I live in an off-grid rental (solar power, etc.). Not sure what to do, but I need to be able to stream videos and upload/download files FAST for my freelance work. Thanks for any help!

No internet connection required for local broadcast TV. I use an indoor antenna (RCA Model 1251, an amplified antenna), connected to the HVR850 USB HDTV to receive Over The Air broadcast TV. Gets the higher powered local stations well with rabbit ear adjustments.

hello, the facts is that i use this stuff for an ip camerea, through a 3g network in nigeria, and it just too fine.i can access the live video streaming from anywhere. that is just why i bought it and it worked.

Absolutely not. Either an internet connection is required for most Channels. Only a network connection is required to play local content on your network.

If you have Internet, works anywhere in the world. Needs certain amount of Internet speed, other wise all good. Free now, see iptv forum for details.

It is not supposed to. We wired it at our place. So I cannot really give you the good answer 100%. I know we see it on our network

Well, can't answer you that, but i can say that in my house i use a cable modem on one of the four ports without any problem. In fact, i recall seeing another model (red instead of blue) that did announce amplification on both directions and i guess this one don't 'amplify' on the upload direction (but neither does it block it in any way)

Technically no, but you can stream AM/FM stations from around the world if it is connected to the internet. Otherwise you will need a seperate tuner.

I've never done this so I don't know. I know if you get it on your network properly that it "should".

Yes, as long as you have good bandwidth speed. I had 2.5 Mbps download speed and .44 upload and the images were grainy. When I got the speed up to 12 Mbps download and .8 upload they were great. It also helps if you have this device near the modem/router so the wireless signal is strong.

I agree with the previous post. The Broadcaster will pick-up wifi or Ethernet just fine. I've actually tested my iPhone as a hotspot and it worked. Good luck!

It is not fast, but I still get 50 or 100 Mbps connections with it and it always just works without a fuss! I'd say it is quite useable unless you are streaming hd media without multicast or are just in a hurry to download large files :).

Although I haven't tried it myself over a "slow" connection, the manual says that a connection speed of 1Mbps is the minimum required and it is helpful to verify that you meet the requirement by visiting www.SpeedTest.net

As long as you put your router ssid in the config for this device it will work fine. It does not need to be broadcasted.
