“Do you need a router to run the basics of this system or can you use solely ethernet? I am looking into this system for someone who does not have a great internet set-up. If I am not mistaken, the specifications say ethernet compatibility; however, someone in the reviews mentioned a router problem vs. ethernet. Does one need a router to run this system or was that an isolated issue?”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Good Afternoon. The system only needs to be connected to a modem or router if you wish to view it remotely on a PC/MAC or a smart device. If you do not want remote viewing, you can simply connect the system to a TV monitor or computer monitor to view live video feed and recordings. If connected to the internet, your will utilize the Ethernet cable. Thanks for choosing Night Owl.
