Solved connecting and offline problem

Like many other reviews this IP camera comes with more than its share of frustration.  Yes the setup instructions are horrible and it makes you read and reread the instructions.  I spent the evening messing with this camera with no successfully (LOL) The issue is that the camera flips between connecting and offline and will not connect.  Then I came across another review for a different camera from this seller.  THE TRICK IS TO SET THE CAMERA UP WITH A DIRECT USB/TO IP CAMERA CONNECTION ON YOUR PC.  Oddly enough the Amazon FireTV cable that I have worked perfectly.  First download the PC software from the manufacturer at cd.ipcamdata.com  You will find it on the front of the guide that came with it and connect the IP cam to your PC, then choose the initial camera setup from the LAN setting on the ismartview pro NOT the crazy sound wave configuration.  First time I did this it worked.  Once connected the settings are stored on the APP , then disconnect the cable and reconnect from the APP just be sure your connected to your wifi.  The picture is great and I have set up it on my front door as I have a home office on the other side of the house, now I can see from both my iPhone and PC whose at the door.

Great product! I had been struggling to get internet connection on my new desktop (Windows 8.1) because the ethernet port was very unreliable when it would work.  I wanted to try wireless connection but didn't want to install a wireless card into my motherboard.  So I purchased this product and plugged it in.  It instantly went to work and connected to my router.  This product is truely plug and play and I'm downloading at the same speed of a wired internet connection!

Other pros:
1) Great buy at a low price
2) Small and compact
3) User's manual to guide you through any installation you might need

Works great when you can't get a reliable connection with an extender! Worked for months with a Ex7300 extender and never got it working right (Failed to give an IP address) This solved the problem and was very painless to install (for Wired connectivity).

I had recently purchased a new desktop computer, which had a built in wireless card. I thought the wireless would be fine seeing as the laptop I had previously was fine in my room.

I was wrong. So I searched all around until I found this item on Amazon. Purchased it instantly, and when I got it, all I had to do was plug the two pieces in, plug in the ethernet cords, and then full strength wired internet on my shiny new desktop.

I am a gamer so I needed that steady internet connection so that I could play without disconnecting or lagging. This item has totally fixed my problems.

Had an issue with this adapter being powered off every time the computer went to sleep. Upon waking I would lose my wireless connection. The solution to this was changing the adapter settings within Windows so the computer would not power it off. Also had an issue where it would constantly drop connection over and over. This issue was with my TP-Link router and not the adapter itself.

Gave it 5 stars but just wanted to mention a few issues I had off the bat in case anyone else was experiencing the same.

The home where my mother-in-law and her boyfriend live has DSL at one end of the home, and the bedroom where my mother-in-law is most typically confined to bed at the other end of the home, a recipe for a horrible Wi-fi connection if ever there was one.  Realistically, mother-in-law could get a connection on her little netbook computer, but it would fade in and out and was just flaky enough to be really frustrating.

Having tested another set of these devices in the past (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Logitech-HD-Powerline-200a-Starter-Kit-for-Logitech-Revue-Internet-Connected-Devices-930-000131/dp/B004F9P2KU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Logitech HD Powerline 200a Starter Kit for Logitech Revue & Internet-Connected Devices (930-000131)</a>) I had learned many of the restrictions and possible constraints with these items and in the effort to help set up a more stable network for my mother-in-law opted to go with these Netgear devices partly based on pricing and also because I've had good experiences with Netgear equipment in the past.

These devices are basically plug and play, though they do come with a small amount of printed documentation.  That documentation notes that you can't or shouldn't plug these devices into power strips, rather they must be plugged directly into a wall outlet.  That required a little juggling of the items plugged in behind the DSL router/main computer, but was achievable, leaving the concern about where I could plug in at the other end of the home. Thankfully there was an outlet there that had nothing plugged into it, so setting up the "remote" unit was pretty easy.

Last issue to resolve was setting up another Wi-Fi router down in that end of the home.  For that, a separate item ordered when I ordered these was put to use:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cisco-Linksys-Refurbished-E1000-Wireless-N-Router/dp/B003VYEYE0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cisco Linksys Refurbished E1000 Wireless-N Router</a>.  With that router plugged in, the home now has two Wi-fi networks working perfectly and mother-in-law and her boyfriend can now use networked devices in either end of the home without worrying about dropped signals.

Granted, stringing a traditional Ethernet cable from one end of the home to the other would have been less expensive, but that would have involved drilling holes through walls, or floors, and would have had me or someone else pulling about 75 feet of cable through all of the obstacles in the way.  With these little gadgets in place, there was no need for the ugly but direct approach.  There's also the added flexibility of being able to move these adapters to other locations if needed, though with the Wi-Fi router in the remote location providing good coverage, there's no real need to worry about moving either of these adapters.

Well worth the purchase price, even though I might wish these were lower cost than they currently are.

Was a little leery about this, but purchased to try.  Grandson has issues getting good WiFi in his room and had trouble with some online games.  This has helped. Creates an Ethernet connection using existing house wiring which is more stable for him to use and a little faster.  Connection and device pairing was a snap, no issues there.  The connection was immediately recognized by both his PC and Xbox.  Can plug in three devices so it worked out great.

Since windows 10 upgrade disabled my network, I had to get a new network card, and this one did the trick.  Everything stable now and haven't lost the internet since I installed it.

Received the system and made the install. Made the ethernet connection using the Amcrest View app setup which worked great! This made it easy. Had some difficulty in working through all the setups for motion detection as it is a little complicated to get thru the directions but trial and error prevailed. I did have to call Amcrest for help in enabling the email connection but received professional and prompt help from the Amcrest tech Lee Freeman who resolved the connection problem. I appreciate the prompt help I received from Amcrest technical service without having to go thru a long waiting period or numerous phone answering service prompts.

My wife has more than a few devices connected to her laptop through usb, video and networking and she hated disconnecting everything whenever taking the laptop mobile.  This dock gives her the one connection solution to provide video, ethernet, and other usb (printer, phone charger, etc.)

Drivers that came with the disk were old, but after installing I downloaded newer ones and everything was very plug and play.  So this makes me happy, because it creates a very easy to connection desktop solution.

The laptop that is connected is running Windows 8 and everything worked like a charm

Truly plug and play. In use with a network/server. No ip conflicts

My sister had a problem with her internet connection.  We installed an OS X Update.  The computer wouldn't start up.  We ran the Apple Disk Utility which found errors but couldn't repair them.  Disk Doctor found a number of errors repaired them and the computer started up.  Her network connection was working too.  Well worth the money and not having to clean install.

Solved my Frontier DSL problem.  The damn modem would only work for a couple for a couple of days, then I would need to restart it.  After a month of this the whole family was trained to bounce (turn off/on) the Frontier DSL modem.  Not anymore,  Set this thing to cut power at 2 am... no lost connections yet!!

I had a crisis of wasted hours because I was trying to connect to a 5.0 instead of a 2.4 connection on with my router . They kept saying Wi-Fi password error. But that was all my fault. Just got them all working within 10 minutes and I will update once I assess them further.

Update:  Checking them daily from another state.  Excellent, two way communication feature, always staying connected- reliable !!!!!  And the sd cards in them are perfect, I can go back several days and view it.

After trouble shooting a network issue with my home Wi-Fi (for months) I finally figured out my issue was with my modem and not my router. My devices would loose WiFi connection once or twice a day, not realizing it was the modem dropping signal.  I pay for 175 down and 6 up, so needed a compatible modem.  So it was important to have 16 download and 4 upload channels (in case I increase bandwidth also). This modem fit the bill technically and also had good reviews.  Simple to connect, literally plugged it into my existing network, waited for everything to synch up, and self activated via Xfinity website.  Literally had the network up and running in 10 minutes and not a single dropped device since.  Small in size, but powerful output - no complaints with the SB6183.
