The Honeywell IPCAM-WO is an outdoor IP security camera that integrates with AlarmNet’s Total Connect video service. The IPCAM-WO is useless without a Total Connect account which you can get from any AlarmNet authorized dealer. You do not need a security system to use the IPCAM-WO however. If you simply want to be able to remotely view your property, all you need is a Total Connect video account, an AlarmNet security camera like the IPCAM-WO, the IPCAM-WI2or the IPCAM-PT and a high speed internet connection. If you do happen to have an existing Honeywell security system with a Total Connect account, you can add the IPCAM-WO and upgrade your Total Connect account so that you will be able to remotely control your security system and view your property live from the same web based account
