If you are in the market for Wireless Security Cameras without internet access, 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 you 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.

Lacking An Internet Connection? Try a WiFi Security Camera System
Though over 80% of US households report having access to broadband internet, you may fall into the category of people without internet. Along with that, you may be someone who wants to keep security and network access separate. There is nothing wrong with either of these options as we provide a variety of solutions for any situation.
The best place to start here would be our WiFi IP Camera System. With this option, you gain full HD 1080P picture clarity as well as the flexibility of installation. The system comes with a WiFi NVR along with WiFi bullet security cameras. You may, at this point, be asking, why WiFi? This advice seems counterintuitive.
The trick here is that the WiFi IP camera system uses WiFi for certain features like remote viewing as well as motion detection alerts. Other than that, the system fully functions without a network connection. Simply power on the NVR and cameras. From there, the camera units will connect with the recorder on the system’s own proprietary network. This allows the cameras to communicate without network access. From there, you just need to connect the NVR to an HD TV or a monitor, and you will be able to view your footage.

When it comes to remote locations like farms with long distances between buildings, the WiFi camera system is ideal! It does not require you to run network cables from the cameras to the NVR. The cameras only require power, but most installation areas should have ample access to power outlets. For this fact alone, the HD 1080P WiFi system is perfect for remote, expansive properties.
The Second Solution: Fully Wired IP Camera System
If you don’t have the long-distance needs of a remote location like a farm, a fully-wired IP camera system will do just fine. This actually gives you the opportunity to upgrade from the full HD 1080P in the last system to something even more vividly detailed. This Ultra HD 4K System is ideal for the job with 4x more detail and the full range of function like the prior system.

*Remember: you will still not have access to remote viewing or mobile motion detection alerts if your system is not connected to the internet. Other than that, your system will provide you with crystal clear, 24/7 coverage. PoE cables carry both power and data to the cameras making installation easy. Running only a single cable to each camera makes any setup possible for nearly any layout.

When it comes to saving on bandwidth, the system does this via the Smart Station. This is the control hub for the cameras that plugs directly into your router. From there, the cameras synch with the Smart Station at the touch of a single button per camera. This not only makes installation a breeze, but also creates a secure proprietary network of the system’s own. By connecting the cameras via the station, you won’t have multiple cameras directly connected to your home network, which in turn saves your bandwidth.
Frequently Asked Questions – Security Cameras Without Internet Access
Question 1: I have no WiFi, but I need an outdoor security camera system. Are there any outdoor systems to accommodate this?
As mentioned earlier in this post, the systems above are all weatherproof rated between IP65 and IP67. This means they are sealed to protect against the ingress of water and solid particles like dust and dirt. This makes them suitable for outside use. All of our wired IP Security Camera Systems as well as our HD Analog Security Camera Systems can be used offline!
Question 2: Is Remote Viewing Available Without Internet Access?
Unfortunately not. Without internet access, security cameras have no way of transmitting their phones to remote devices like mobile phones, laptops or tablets.
Question 3: Are there any battery-powered security camera systems that don’t use WiFi?
As of now, we don’t have any systems that don’t use WiFi at all. Even the ONE Link Wireless Battery Camera System uses the Smart Station to connect to your wireless router. If you want a system that can work completely without network access, you need to go with one of our fully-wired IP systems or HD analog system.
