Based on a misunderstanding of a thread I saw on the WYSE support forum, I purchased their $25 camera. I turns out that their camera demands access to the internet for both set-up and for reconnecting after loosing a connection. So, while you can get it to transmit video after unplugging the internet connection from your WiFi router, that will last only as long as everything is powered up. As soon as you power cycle anything, the connection has to be re-set by using the internet.
I doubt the technology demands this, and it is perhaps done both to make things easier for most of their customers, and to keep you connected to their company.
I also tried setting up my phone as a WiFi hot spot, thinking that the only data it would use, would be just the data needed to connect and log on. But, at least on my Note 4 phone, it would not work.
theczar, does your iPad have access to the internet? Is this perhaps necessary for your set-up to work?
