Can I use this to upload the .jpg files from my camera to my PC via my household wireless router? Do I need additional software?

No you can not do it. I just tried to see if it can work because I have the same PC setup as you and the router doesn't see the network created by the SD card. I can only see the network with my phone and tablet.

You bypass the router and connect directly to the card. Any extra software is available for free from Toshiba, itunes, or google play. In the setup you can select to continue with an internet connection simultaneously.

Yes, but you will have to have Foscam go into your router and forward you internet ports so it can be accessed from any device and/or web. I had Foscam do all my setup due to the fact that it's their camera and they know what to do instantly. I hope this helped you.

Also, I see some folks saying that third party software is required...this is not true. The webpage built into the camera allows you to record to the local computer that the webpage is brought up on...ok so no, you don't need another software, unless you want to record as a DVR or NVR, meaning the webpage doesn't have to be up, but the DVR/NVR application has to be running.

Hello Paul,I use a SD card viewer to view my images from my camera on site or just manually upload images from SD card onto my laptop at home. I hope this of some help.

To enable wireless connectivity, you do need to connect it to the router and use the enclosed IPcamera software to configure it. The software should automatically find the camera and then you configure your wireless parameters like SSID and Security code. Save, disconnect, and plug in somewhere in range of the router. (no battery support) This model automatically sets up a ddns url that alows you to access the camera remotely.

Hi Jim, It all depends on how your wifi router is set up. You may have to turn on port forwarding if you want to see the camera view from outside your local network via the iPhone app. I had a bit of a hard time connecting to the camera at first, but I think that was because I had mac address filtering turned on on my wifi. Make sure you turn off mac address filtering. Once you find the camera on your wifi network you will have to configure the emaill setting if you would like it to email you a picture when it detects motion. You can see things live through the camera, but it doesn't really record video it just takes some images that it can email to you or upload to a server via ftp. If you are looking for a video recording camera, this probably isn't the product for you. Fell free to hit me back with any other questions and I'll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. -Jack

I don't know what format your pc file is. I use mine with an SD card transferring JPG or IMG files without problems.

I haven't tried that but the user guide says you can set up a wireless network to connect to photo sharing websites and to import photos wirelessly. I'm a little technology challenged but apparently the frame does have that capability.

Yes. Setup (including adding the extra camera to the system and getting synced to the app) was easy. I did not have the problem that another responder reported; my system works without being hard wired into the router. The app is a bit flaky, but it does allow you to toggle between cameras.

Hi, yes but you will need to open port in your router or set up DMZ. Camera comes with per-configured DDNS, which works great on pc, phone or tablet.

Dear Paul, change the WIFI encyption authenication with our "Eyesee Finder", please come to www.szgeeya.com/ipc for related software. Please know that the camera shall not be too much near the wifi router, like dark under the lamp. But if long time video recording or surveillance, we would advise wired connection. Further questions please feel free to contact us.

If you have a router that's not wireless you can plug the camera into the router by way of ethernet cable. If you have a wireless router then you can use the camera in wireless mode. Either way you would need Internet service to use the camera.

The device acts as a wireless router and a wireless bridge (aka wireless extender), according to the Amazon page and manual. I have personally powered it up and plugged in a USB thumb drive. I was able to successfully access the files on it from my iPad using the HooToo TripMate app. I'm sure that one could access the files via a laptop or desktop browser as well. I have not yet tested it plugged into my Internet access, nor have I tested it as a wireless extender.

I have not tried it. I just used Dropbox app to transfer all files to pc wirelessly. It's easier.

I do not see why not, I never got the wireless to work on mine so I have it hard cabled. It may be my router, but it says it supports it. The camera is pretty enclosed, but it is pretty light so having it outside you may want to mount it to something.

Hmm, why would you use ftp? This is a streaming device, just to send SD video over IP. Nothing else...

Your router must be set up to be a DHCP server (most are by default set that way). Then follow the easy set up procedure whick can be fould at https://www.mydlink.com/download (then select your camera model). It works like a champ! D-Link has excellent documentation in my opinion. Hope this helps!
