Question: Is there any cable this camera has to conect to? I have a wireless router.I am looking for something I dont have to run any wires to.
Document: To set the carmera up it must be hard wired to your network after which it can be disconnected and used as wireless. If there is a power failure the camera must again be hard wired to your network to set up the wireless feature. This is kind of stupid as the reason I wanted a wireless camera was so I didn't have to run wires to my router. Other than that the camera works well and the night vision has the distance I wanted.
Once you click on "submit" it will reboot the camera. After about 10 seconds into the reboot all you have to do is UNPLUG the LAN cable from the camera. Once a minute or so goes by run the IP Camera program and your wireless camera should be visible in the box. Click on it and open Internet Explorer (Not Firefox) and log in to the camera. Now you can play with all the features and learn the software and how the camera works.
Mine lasted a couple of months and then the wireless connection became very erratic. I thought the problem might have been my router, so I bought a new one of those - mistake... the camera still didn't work. Set up went OK, but then it lost connection again after an hour or so of wireless operation. I purchased a cable and wired it directly to my new router - another mistake. Wired directly with the cable worked for a few minutes, but then the camera quit again.
I am no computer guru and only follow instructions and I had this camera up and running wireless in 15 minutes total time. It's really simple folks: Plug the LAN cable (provided) from the camera to the router, plug in power supply for the camera, access the camera with a browser (I used Firefox) IAW the instructions and then set it up on the Administrator screen. Don't forget to assign a password to the Admin account, especially if you intend to use it wireless.
I have not used or test other security cameras so I really don't have anything to compare to but this is what I think so far.Packaging seem very protective of the product.Quick instructions manual + cd with advanced instructions and cam software.Although I'm a tech guy, I found the basic setup very easy. Instructions were definetely translated using google translate but usable.Setup with network cable first(included) and then connected the camera to my wireless router.
This unit is state of the art!Just the straight facts ( a fantastic product , I have 2)if you dont know how to install, SECURE wireless TCP/IP based  devices, seek help!but on the other hand, the manual is one of the best ive seen on , connecting rocket science. (im a retired electronics tech)I recommend the D-Link DIR-655 router ! (vastly more flexible ! )before you buy?learn how your router is configured.
this camera is a great camera and value price for everything it has to offer. The tech support was also great and you dont get the run around like most companies!! I would 100percent tell everyone if they need a ip cam to buy this band foscam!! !
I'm ordering 2 more of these today. Popped it out of the box, attached it to my router via cable, configured it, switched it to wireless mode and it came right up. Decent video for the price. Infrared is great - I use it to watch my horses in a barn some distance away from my house.
You do need a wireless router, and you will need to know how to configure it for wireless security (highly recommended, but not mandatory), and for port forwarding (if you want to view the cameras remotely, from work or a hotel or something like that). Again, there are tutorials available on Foscam's site, and the instructions are pretty good about showing you the processes.
The box appeared to have been opened before and the camera case had a few scratches on it. The shield on top does not line up correctly either. As far as I know its a great camera, just not what I am looking for. I'll keep searching for something a little smaller in the meantime.
Answer: This unit needs power.  It comes with a adapter that you can plug into a local 120v outlet or you can run ethernet to it and use POE (Power over Ethernet).  Either way there will be at least one cable running to it.  It is wireless capable so you can use the wireless router for the ethernet connection.
