How to Use a WiFi Security Camera Without Accessing Internet

Wireless Security Cameras Solutions without Internet Access

If you are looking for wireless security cameras without WiFi, you may have several questions. With most surveillance tech tending toward IP cameras that are best used on an existing network, you may be wondering what your options are. Are there cameras that work without internet access? Will you be able to get full functionality out of your security solutions without an internet connection? What can you do for surveillance in remote areas?

Conversely, you may have internet access but don’t want an IP security camera taking up too much of your network data. Regardless of your reasoning, you can secure your property as well as gain a full HD view of your surroundings without internet access.

If you do not have internet access for your camera system, you will not be able to view your HD footage on a mobile phone, tablet, or computer. That disadvantage aside, there are plenty of full-functioning options for your property. You do not need internet access to use wireless WiFi security cameras as well as wired IP cameras.

Solution 1. No Internet/Network Connection? Try a Wireless Security Camera System

If you live in a rural area where internet connection is sparse, you may be able to utilize a security camera without an internet connection. All you need to do is to get a whole wireless security camera system, which comes with a WiFi NVR (Network Video Recorder) and several WiFi surveillance cams. ZOSI W4 Pro wireless security camera video system is a good example.

3MP Home Wi-Fi Mesh Security Camera System - W4 PRO

  • AI Human Detection
  • Light & Siren Alarm
  • Mesh Wi-Fi
  • 2 Way Audio

Mesh WiFi Security Camera System for the Home (ZOSI W4 Pro). The wireless home security camera system captures clean and smooth movies in delicate details and a resolution of 2 megapixels, as well as superior D-WDR and 3D-DNR technologies.

After cascading, the cascade technique helps reach larger WiFi distances; this wireless camera system can transmit for up to 3000 feet. This provides you greater freedom in determining where to place the camera, allowing you to cover even the most remote properties.

Such wireless surveillance camera system kits enable you to do 24/7 surveillance and video recording without accessing the Internet. Power on the NVR and the cameras. The NVR and the cameras will automatically connect to each other on their own proprietary network and start to communicate with each other without Internet access (without connecting to your router). Connect the NVR to an HD TV or a monitor, and you can start 24/7 monitoring.

And this is how you can make the IP camera set up without the Internet.

Those wireless security camera video systems have built-in WiFi modules with frequency from Channel 9 of 2.4 GHz (of course you can change the channel by yourself within the WLAN channels), so that it won’t mess with your router bands (if you have router networks).

Remember that you need to connect the system to a router if you need remote viewing, and monition detection alerts (emails or push notifications sent to your mobile phone).

Solution 2. Have Internet Connection? Try a Wireless Security IP Camera

Wireless security cameras don’t necessarily require the internet. Rather, there are a number of security cameras that can record their footage locally onto micro-SD cards or hard drives so it can be viewed later.

Choose a weatherproof or waterproof wireless security IP camera (1NC-291 for example). You can put this wire-free camera outside or inside your house. Use its free software on your mobile phone to set up the camera and connect it to your router wirelessly – don’t get me wrong – connecting it to your router doesn’t mean the camera will use your network when it’s at work (see problems and solutions of connecting an IP camera to network).

  • 4MP Super HD
  • Long Battery Life
  • Customize PIR Alert
  • 360° HD View

ZOSI 1NC-291 – Wire-Free Rechargeable Battery Security Camera. When completely charged, the long-lasting may last up to more than two months (30 triggers per day). It’s wire-free and portable, so you can take it with you everywhere you go.

You won’t have to deal with any cords or wiring! The rechargeable battery and WiFi connectivity allow 1NC-306 to function independently. You may take it and place it anywhere you choose. You can see everything in stunningly sharp 1080p HD with every tiny detail thanks to the 2.0MP lens and 90 broad fields of view. Night vision (up to 80 feet) with superior 3D-DNR and D-WDR technology ensures sharp and clear image/video capture at night.

Remember to make sure the motion detection alerts (yeah the WiFi camera is using the Internet but it’s just for a while) are enabled if you want to get informed on your phone. And DONE!

The camera will start to work – it will capture video to the SD card you insert into the camera and be deterrence of burglars.

And most importantly, the wireless security IP camera won’t get your Internet access unless you use your phone to connect to it and get live streaming remotely, or unless it detects burglars and sends video or images to you. In a nutshell, the WiFi surveillance battery camera uses your Internet only when it’s necessary, so it won’t ”eat up” your data. (PS: it’s a rechargeable battery powered and also can be solar-powered.)
