You can also use a wireless hub on it for as cheap as $40 to keep from running Ethernet cables but the connection can be spotty at times depending on the range to your wireless router.

A:AnswerYour Night Owl device only needs to be connected to a modem/router if you wish to view it remotely on a PC/MAC or a Smart Device. To remotely view your system, you must manually connect an Ethernet cable from your modem/router to the DVR/NVR. If you do not want remote viewing, you can connect the system to a TV or monitor to view live video feed and recordings. Thanks for choosing Night Owl!
