I have a wired outdoor security system that i can view on my ipad. but I want to add theses seperate from what i have. To be undetected will i need another wireless router

I'm not sure I understand your question. All wireless foscams that are on the same network id will show up when you pick which cameras to view. I have some wired and some not wired. Since both wired and nonwired are on the same network, all my Foscams show up when I pick from a list of cams to display. As a side note, I'd strongly recommend wiring any Foscams that are more than 50 feet from your wireless router to avoid endless frustration.

I am not sure what you man by undetected. I have about 10 of these cameras attached to wireless routers and hard wired. I have a wireless bridge between 2 locations as well as a VPN to a third location, so I have them spread across 3 wireless APs without any issues. I use Blue Iris Software from 1 location to control and record the cameras across the network.

Pam, I would agree with Gregory. If you are running wireless (I'm running 3 wireless and 9 wired) there's no need for more wireless routers because routers have the capability to run many, many devices. Only if you're trying to run a totally different network would be no reason to add another router. Not necessary to add anything else. Depending on how you have your cams and/or router set up (static/dynamic or combo of both), the router will automatically assign an IP or you assign the IP. When in doubt of course, the FOSCAM techs are very knowledgeable to help you out.

Best to call and ask Foscam directly but you would not need an additional wireless router if you already have one for your home.

No this is a firewall and VPN device. You would need to add an access point for WIFI.

You get two devices so you can bridge from an outlet near your router to any other outlet in your house. You can then buy additional to get more wired locations.

Each 'thing' has its own id and communicates to smartthings hub, hub is wired to your router, so in essence you want to have tight security for router. Only bad thing with the system is if you lose internet connection or power to your home, system does you no good. I love system so far.. Just a lil troubling when adding aftermarket things, like cameras and door locks.. Don't know if I answered your question.. Check out the website smatthings and contact them. They have a chat set up and are very helpful

As long as you only have one router providing dhcp, yes this will allow you to add more ports to your network and still use the wireless. most installations will plug the wireless router into the cable modem and the trendnet into the wireless router. Many wireless routers will have an Internet port that plugs into your cable modem.

No. The device you are referring to is called a "wireless bridge" (wifi repeater). This device is a wireless router that makes a wired connection accessible to wireless devices.

I have no idea. I returned the product. My father told me if I had an existing security system you can add this to it. But I have no idea.

You do not need a second one. Put this out at the site you want it and connect it to your existing wifi. Will go 250 ft line of site

Of course. You can optionally disable most all modems or routers and hang another device off if it. I use an Apple Airpirt Extreme for my wireless.

I wouldn't consider it easy. If there are any known vulnerabilities there will be a firmware upgrade available on the foscam site. I would be more worried about your wireless router vulnerabilities than the camera itself. In either case make sure you use wpa2 encryption and set a good user/password and check for firmware updates every month and this will nearly eliminate the possibilities of getting compromised. To note there are logs on the camera on who access it and from what ip. I hope this helps.

Hi Craig, Thanks for the question. There is no limit to the amount of devices that the Wireless Outdoor Speakers can connect to. You will have to 'unpair" or turn off Bluetooth on the device you are using to allow another to connect to the speakers. You should not have to forget device. Contact AV-Express for more information.

You can link wireless sensors without the Red Link router. The Red Link router is required to monitor and control your thermostat with an app.

Depends on whether you want a wired or wireless connection. One router will do for a wired connection. You will need a second router (or a wifi bridge) for a wireless connection.

I have a set sending a signal to another house and from that house I send it to 2 other houses using another 2 sets. I have a network hub that they are all plugged into that is also a wireless access point. So, I think what you are trying to do shooting over a hill will work. BTW, I have a total of 5 of these throughout my network sharing 1 internet connection between 6 houses.

I believe all access points allow you to inhibit SSID broadcasting. At least the several that I have setup have allowed me to do that. You may not want to do that as it can make configuring the connect to wireless devices a little more difficult as the network will not be able to be discovered automatically. You'll have to enter the hidden SSID each time you set up a wireless connection on a new device. Another way to foil wireless theft is to use 128 bit encryption and you can also limit connections to a list of specific device MAC addresses. Good luck.
