Simple Home Monitor Camera

I want something simple. Would I have to leave my computer on for this to work? Or does just the wifi need to be on? If the power goes off and comes back on, will something like this come back up on line or does it have to be manually reset?

Thanks for any help,
Brad

What are you doing with it? Do you want external access and/or control, such as pan/tilt? Most simple cams will require your wifi to be on. Remember that there are 2 parts to your (wifi) router. LAN for internal resources and WAN for external (internet) reach. Most of these cams are IP dependant and need a router to be on. Many will require either the computer to be on or for external access to store video if you are using that function. You can buy system that have built in DVR and controllers that do not require a router or computer.
