I have a modern PC or laptop with dial-up internet service. Is a fast internet connection required for me to view live video and access the DVR from one or more local computers?
Absolutely not! What you will need though is an inexpensive router (wireless models go for around $60) and a standard ethernet / network connection on a local computer. In essence, we can help you setup your own private computer network that will create very high-speed connections between all your local computers, printers, and surveillance equipment.
