Once your IP Camera is set up on local network you don't need internet connection you could run a separate wifi network just for it with only local access if you wanted but it would be a bit of a pain switching to an alternative network to view your camera. I also recommend BlueIris and have it email a couple of photos to me on detecting movement it is usually a dog or cat. If you want to view the cam from another location e.g on phone it will need to be routed by remote server - a bit more complicated to set up but many wouldn't need that if they can receive the email a few seconds after anything is detected |
