tlstephens 0 Posted February 27, 2014 When you buy a wireless system, do you have to have internet or is the wireless part how the dvr communicates with the cameras? Trying to educate myself before I buy over the internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandyParlee 0 Posted February 27, 2014 You don't need Internet access. The wireless kits (camera with NVR/DVR) will (should) communicate out of the box but you still need to power the camera so you'll need some sort of wiring. Some cameras are 802.11 wireless and they go through a wireless router or access point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have an IP wireless camera, have a wireless router and a computer with nvr software installed. That's it you have a wireless cctv system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
