DO I NEED CABLE???

Post by Scout123mh »

I just cut the cord on my cable and now use T-Mobile home internet for my Internet. When I search for available networks nothing is showing up. So I deleted the camera then tried adding it back on but the 3rd step is saying “make sure it’s connected to cable” QUESTION: can I not use my Amcrest Camera WITHOUT cable??? Help!

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Not sure what camera you are working with. However if you're working with IP camera then it would need a power and ethernet cable. If working with WIFI then need router to hand out ip and make connection to your network.

So in sense of Cable internet NO! You don't need cable.

If you want to have camera connected and record to micro SD then you can make a setup connection to camera from your computer to make setup of camera and than remove connection to camera only leaving it powered up to then have footage be stored to the cameras local Micro SD. Outside of that not sure what camera your working with.

If it's Analog then it not only needs a cable. It needs a DVR to record.
Here to help the best I can.
