Question

Rose · Accepted Answer

No I never had a computer just wi fi

BILL · Answer

A phone or tablet connected to the wifi is sufficient to set it up and check video. If you need to set up zones you do need a computer.

For initial setup I believe you do if you don’t already have nest cameras. However, my wife added a second camera and was able to set up the new camera with just the phone and their app. 

It’s higjly possible you can just do everything with their app now as long as you have a WiFi setup in your house. I would recommend probably double checking their website to make sure though.

Hi Bo - no there is no need to be connected to your computer. The camera does require a wi-fi-connection, though.

You do not need a computer to set up camera. You can set it all up though a smartphone. You will need a wifi signal that reaches the camera.
