Could this camera be used as a monitor within a wireless network even if the internet went down?

No, you have to be on the internet to use it. The tech people are really good at setting it up for you.

When my internet goes out, the connection gets lost and I get sn error message until it comes back online.

All I know is the signal is by the included cables from receiver to a monitor. I don't know of any way to catch the wireless signal from camera to another device. My model is not intended for internet or cell use.

Yes, this camera has a network jack in the back that allows you to use it "hardwired". It does need to be plugged into power regardless if you are hardwired or wireless.

I guess you can, that is if you can ever get the dang thing to work. I never had any luck with it. I just ended up buying an IP camera and using my monitor when I wanted to see what's going on.

yes you can configure cameras with no wifi or internet but if you would like to see your business while you are home you should have internet or wifi

Yes, you can absolutely have the cameras be just on your local network (wifi or wired). There's are actually fewer steps required to do this this way.

This camera doesn't have wireless capabilities, but through a DVR that supports remote viewing you will be able to accomplish what you want.

Sure. But if your router is not PoE, you'll need to get a power supply to the camera for it to work.

The camera will need an internal IP address, but it doesn't have to be connected to the Internet

I use "IP Camera Super Client" software for recording to a hard drive. Monitoring is done either via built-in browser-based software or software I'd mentioned.

It doesn't have network/wifi feature like Canon 6D or 70D. I didnt try to play the video on sd or internal harddrive to monitor. Pro Sony can give you the answer http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/micro-hdvsite/cat-broadcastcameras/product-HXRNX70U/

It needn't using Power over Ethernet,you can using the power supply which included in the package with the camera.

Same problem here. It seems now you can only manage the camera from the same network/lan/wlan, meaning the computer or your cell phone and the camera need to connect to the same router at home.

We use this camera with a wireless router. We have learned the farther your camera is away from the router signal source the slower it operates. However, you can also connect directly to it using ethernet cable. Or, connect it to a modem/router using ethernet cable.

No it does not require internet or 'wifi'. This uses a wireless connection from the camera to the receiver. The receiver then attaches to your tv or monitor via a rca video connector. The camera and receiver both need to be plugged in to AC power though, so it is not completely wireless.

If you were to monitor other electronic devices you could tell if the power was out. Not sure how you would monitor your internet connection unless you had your router in the camera surveillance area.

I wouldn't for WiFI. I was suspect as to whether or not one would actually work. With a wired connection I might give it a shot. I would worry that you might get too much voltage drop and the camera might crash or you might have WiFi signal issues.
