Cctv or web cam

[day-break 10]

Is there a cctv that i can use to set up and view independently just from my phone and not through my router at home.

[Ghozer 112]

no, because how would your phone know where to go/how to connect to it, if it wasnt connected to the internet in someway.

 

something like this...

you plug into your router, then you can access it from anywhere (Via phone or browser) - but the camera still needs to be plugged into your router, and the router turned on and connected at all times...

No, not unless you pay for it to have it's own dedicated internet connection.

Here's a better known brand, I have several myself, and it's from a UK supplier.

That's pretty pricey (and of course still needs a net connection via the router).

Is there an IP camera with its own WiFi host

An old phone and a generous data allowance?

 

Either turn the phone itself into a wecam / cctv as per http://www.instructables.com/id/Android-Security-Cameras/

 

or attach a separate router to an old phone / mifi etc, and route a standard IP cam through that connection http://www.amazon.co.uk/HooToo%C2%AE-TripMate-Wireless-Storage-Sharing/dp/B00I00J8DW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440155536&sr=8-1&keywords=hootoo

 

I have messed about with both, can cripple a data allowance if you're not careful though
