Dropcam support is in beta. You can set up a motion detector that triggers a burst of photos. You dont need a dropcam cloud subscription for this functionality although im not sure if photos stored on smartthings cloud and for how long.

This is Ryan from the SmartThings Support team. Out-of-the-box support for camera monitoring is on our product road map. We're working on an integration as we speak but it's not quite ready for production. We'll do our best to keep you updated on our progress and you can check out our blog for the latest information: http://blog.smartthings.com/.In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free and contact us at support@smartthings.com.

You can watch the camera on wifi- and I believe you can set up motion detection recording if you like. Actually viewing the cameras works much more efficiently on android or iOS platforms. I have both. They do make a decice that allows you to record up to 4 cameras onto an external hard drive. I don't have that one. The cameras work well for viewing, and the pan tilt works well also.

I use this product with the wifi turned on my phone. The GoPro app allows you to use the camera and with the latest firmware update, you can view images and videos shot. When I am at home, I just take the card out and transfer my files to my computer.

No, just iOS devices (the interface is via the stem app).I have 8 of these cameras, including 2 of the newernmidelmwith LED for night vision. The app works ok. It could have more features to group cameras, set a "home" or "away" function for groups, etc. But overall, it works at least as well as the other wifi products I use (like the D-Link camera).

This camera does not offer wireless capability, although you can make it wireless by adding an Access point in between your router and the camera. An access point is a device that will allow you to connect a device (DVR, NVR, Camera IP cameras, computers) with an ethernet port to this device, then you connect the AP and your Wifi Router together wirelessly creating a network, therefore any devices connected to the AP can communicate over the air to your main Router. This type of installations are good when you have limited availability to run an ethernet cable from your main router to to the ethernet device (DVR, NVR, Camera IP cameras, computers). Please note the you need to have available power at the location where the IP camera and AP will be installed. Thanks

Yes, I know you can use the "Dropcam" camera to be connected to the smartthings hub wirelessly. You can view and record video remotely from your smartphone.

The other answer suggested the answer is no. However I recorded a short video and snapped pix while the video was recording and those pix were recorded as was the video. I doubt this is a feature I'd use since I generally don't record video on my camera.

No, but you can use your Android/iOS device to control it over Wi-Fi. It's not the best interface I've seen, but it works. You can also transfer the videos/images over the wireless connection. All that comes in the box is the camera, a battery, a 12-inch Mini-USB (note: not micro, like your cell phone probably is,) and a helmet mount of some kind. Luckily, the camera uses a standard camera mount, so it works with my other equipment.

We have some more similar cameras and they are running with the WiFi there. I also smart phone, tablets, etc., with the Wifi. I analized it from the router side, but I could not see any responses from the camera WiFi with either DHCP or fix address setting. It works fine with a LAN cable. The camera itself is fine and I am using it with a LAN wire setting now.

You need internet service with a wireless router to connect the camera in order to view it on your computer or smartphone. It's a very simple setup and once connected you can view the camera where ever you are. You can make the camera private (as I do) or public so anyone can see what you are monitoring.

The answer is "yes, depending on your recording needs". The camera can email short video clips triggered by timed motion detection - or, if your technically adept, you can set up a samba server to manage timed video uploads - or you can use top notch, inexpensive viewing software for remote viewing and manual recording saved to your smartphone, pad or computer. The last option requires that you set up an inexpensive ($19/year) DNS service. Your camera installation software will help you do this. Note: your wifi router should be a UPnP router. Apple routers will not work unless you are an expert technologist capable of working with port forwarding. All this may seem complicated - but it's not. My 4 cameras work using techniques 1 and 3 - and I'm a businessman - not a technologist.

Not sure I totally understand your question. If you plan on using the Y-Cam via WIFI, you do need to connect the camera to your router when performing the initial setup. When you connect the camera to the router it apparently searches out the homemonitor website when you power up the camera if everything is normal. When you are in the process of setting up your on-line account with your computer you will need the number on the rear side of the camera. This apparently links the camera to your account via the home monitor website. Once the camera is recognized, follow the remaining steps in the setup, unplug the camera and position it where you want it. In addition to needing to be connected to the router you will also need to power the camera during the set up process. After setting up your account for the first camera, you will need to also plug in each successive camera directly to the router, one at a time. In my case when I initially connected a camera to the router and plugged it in the camera would not connect to the homemonitor website. My problem ultimately turned out to be an old router. I simply upgraded to a new router....aside from getting my cameras working, my internet connection is noticeable faster. Another thing you need to do is ensure your router is WPA or WPA2 secure.....at least that is what I learned from Y-Cam customer support.

The camera that comes with it will connect to a smart device like a phone or ipad. It connects via a wi-fi connection and displays the live feed. The dji camera app then loads on your device to view the feed. The app has two buttons on the right side. One button does record and stop for video. The second button takes still shots. On the left side is a built in zoom as well. Allowing you to zoom from 1x to 2x while recording.

While I have not set it up, it does give you the option in the admin / config menu. I do take a snapshot via my smart phone and store the image that way. You can also setup secure view pro to record and since it is a server you have options there as well for email events. I am new with these cameras but they seem very flexible and the provided software is ok but can be a little tough to configure. Hope this helps some

Hi. No WI-Fi included. You can do it via PC, not via camera.
