I want to livestream - will this camera connect to an ethernet cable? Wi-fi is not always available to me.

I don't recommend livestreaming with this camcorder. Not very mobile and very sensitive. I highly recommend a logitech c920. It's the best!

I don't believe that will work. The only way it would is your wifi has a 10 mile plus signal range. The camera needs to connect to wifi to then to the internet

This is an IP camera. The only ports are the Cat5 Jack and power jack for the optional power adapter if you do not have POE.

You can. That's basically how I set mine up. Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere. Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

It is NOT a wireless camera. Sorry. Write HD Video Depot if you already bought it and they will hook you up with what you need. When I wrote em they were GREAT, both in time to respond and getting me what I needed.

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.

If you want a camera that you plug in and it works, I would say this is not it. The setup is straightforward and there are folks who have posted instructions but at a minimum, you would need to know how to: (1) plug in an ethernet cable between the camera and your router; (2) identify the IP address of your camera using the MAC address on the bottom of the camera and your router's configuration page showing the IP address; (3) access that ip address via your webbrowser. After that, it's just following the menus and configuration options. If this sounds reasonable, you'll be good to go. If it sounds foreign, this is probably not the one for you.

You do not need Internet access to view the stream live. Just use a web browser and connect directly to camera via its internal IP address.

Not wireless, and port forwarding is done from your router not a feature on the camera, Grand Stream has wifi cameras which I have two currently with no issues but wouldn't be going this route again as the live streaming on a wifi camera tends to be choppy even when you have the camera inches away from the Wifi router..

An Ethernet cable does not connect to the camera. The camera only connects to your AC power line. The camera communicates via your AC power line to the companion AC line powered network receiver. This receiver must always be plugged in with an Ethernet cable to your internet connected router. We find it works very well for it's intended application.

The camera is wireless when connecting to your network via WIFI. It has a wireless N chip so it will have enough bandwidth to stream to multiple computers at once (if router has N also). This camera is not totality wireless as it uses a power cord to revive power. This camera does not run off batteries so it is impossible to do a true 100% wireless setup.

I can't imagine why not. It's just a "regular" ethernet device. (FWIW, I'm _very_ happy with the camera.)

No, but depending on how many devices are connecting to your WiFi sometimes it is better to connect directly with a Ethernet cord for video streaming this also depends on your internet speed.

For initial setup you must connect the camera to the router with the included Ethernet cable. This allows you to configure the wireless settings and once completed can be unplugged and placed where you'd like provided you have a wireless signal and power.

The video camera does have a live feed option through ustream. It would technically stream through the Internet to a computer. I'm sure there is an output cable to go from the camera to the computer, but I haven't done that, so I don't know for sure.

It can broadcast via both ethernet and Wireless. To initially set up the camera, it use the ethernet cable to connect to the router. After the wireless is set up in the camera, the ethernet cable can be removed.

Larry,Each POE IP camera requires a dedicated Ethernet 5/6 cable. Can't split pairs... Good luck
