Cams without computer to connect

Hi,

Please advice on cams that don't need to have a computer in order to work. Usually when one buys security cams they it requires a computer to store the data (GB or TB in size) in order to work. Is there cams that it would transmit to other location beside the local computer?

(Moderator, if the zone are not appropriate applied, please advice to which, thanx)

You can purchase CCTV cameras that record directly to a DVR (digital video recorder).

You will need a screen to view your recordings. I'm not too sure how many hours you an put on each DVD.

Rugged Cams "Rugged CCTV"

Have a look at CCTV Camera World's site for wireless solutions (NOT IP cameras)

Wireless Security Cameras
Wireless security cameras from CCTV Camera World are professional cameras that outlast and outperform any home consumer wireless cctv camera. These products are custom made and tailored for the professional user seeking high resolution video and long distance video transmission. There are 3 wireless signal technologies to choose from. If you are looking for real time video without any delays, we recommend using analog wireless cameras which require line of sight between the camera and receiver. If you are looking for a low cost wireless solution and have obstructions, we recommend 2.4ghz digital wireless cameras as they can penetrate through a few walls effectively. If you are looking for HD resolution video we recommend our wireless IP cameras or Wireless network camera kits which are available in 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz frequencies and can transmit without line of sight. IP based wireless cameras also allow for the video signal to be relayed across or around obstructions using wireless repeaters.

>> It doesn't have to be recorded to a computer, you could use a mobile device to monitor such a camera.

I perhaps misunderstood. I felt that rayluvs did not want to use the Internet.

You understood correctly Paul, we are looking for using only the cam for now and have it connected via wifi to X location in the web.

Question (to fully understand the recommendations):

The cam HAS to have an IP within its device?

Also, do the cams has some sort of protection? That is if someone gets to connect to the LAN, can it be access by a PC that is not supposed to?

Sorry about that, by "other location" we meant "other location" other than a PC; which can be via LAN or Internet: a PC via VPN, or a Cloud service such as google drive, mega, box, dropbox, etc.

We want to decide where the images or video is going to be sent. At this moment we have a CAm that HAS to HAVE a local PC. We want to send it elsewhere.

Understood on the "It doesn't need an IP if it's connected to a device"; ok.

As for the unauthorized access, you are saying that the CAM with IP has to have a login to control who access it?

tailoreddigital

Yes, IP cameras have a login like a router has a login, or any network device.
