[QUOTE="Bigdawg90, post: 3922489, member: 49831"] You don’t need Wi-Fi connected to the actual internet to create a LAN (local area network). Just grab a router and you can use it as an access point. When you connect your phone to the router you’ll grab all the camera activations. All the cameras should sync up to the router just the same. No 100% cloud based cameras would work with that, but you could plug a simple usb drive into the router and then they would work offline. I did something similar to create a secondary access system when one of my neighbors was a weirdo. I was worried about him hacking my internet router, so I created the secondary system. It sounds all tech savvy but it’s actually connecting like three wires and logging into the router through your phone. I hate wired systems. They’re unsightly unless installed correctly and that’s either expensive or means lots of drilling and crawling through an attic. [/QUOTE]
