ABUS camera without Wi-Fi

Updated: 16 October 2026

You want an ABUS camera without Wi-Fi, or you have been told that every wireless camera must join the router. In these six amazon.co.uk listings, those are different claims. Only the EasyLook BasicSet has bullets that say no internet and no WLAN, and the same file's table still says Wi-Fi. The other cameras name an app, or they say wired and wireless without naming one. Our [ABUS security camera comparison](/hub/electronic-surveillance/abus-security-camera) holds the six rows. This page is that one contrast. The Products Compared editorial team used the listings captured on 15 October 2026 and did not radio-test any unit. A qualifying purchase can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.

What the EasyLook listing says twice

The EasyLook PPDF17000 bullets say no extra device, no internet, and no WLAN. The network block on the same file says the connectivity protocol is Wi-Fi. Both lines are in the saved listing from 15 October 2026. We are not deleting either one. Reviewers, and those reviews are not labelled United Kingdom, describe a picture after power-on, units that arrive already paired, and no step where they type the home Wi-Fi password. On those reviews, wireless means the link between the camera and the 7-inch monitor. It does not mean the camera has joined the broadband router. The camera is 12 volt corded. The monitor battery is about two hours, so the screen can leave the socket briefly and the camera cannot. It is 4.4 from 183 ratings at £350.99. If you are still choosing monitor or phone, that fork is the ABUS security camera buying guide.

What you give up

Reviewers who picked EasyLook did it to avoid an account and a router. The same reviews say you cannot watch the camera away from the monitor. The bullets do not promise a holiday view. At £350.99 this is the dearest listing in the set. Someone who needs the front door from another town does not match this set. We cannot give a step that joins EasyLook to the router, because the bullets say there is nothing to join and the reviews do not describe joining. If the box is already open, the first-power sequence is on how to set up an ABUS camera.

The cameras that do join the network

Three listings tell you to use the home network. The PPIC54520B is outdoor 4K, IP66, £148.66, Wi-Fi or LAN, App2Cam Plus, with a bullet about viewing while travelling. The PPIC31020 is the indoor cube, £96.47, Wi-Fi, App2Cam Plus, with an 8 GB card in the box. The PPIC46520 is the 230 volt lamp, £239.82, Wi-Fi, App2Cam Plus, with a no-fee bullet. If you want no router, these three are the wrong buy, even when the card is local. The PPIC36520, £220.03, says Wi-Fi and an unnamed app. Do not file it with EasyLook.

A relay is not a test

One long review of the PPIC54520B describes a relay when the phone is off the home network, so the owner can watch while away. Watching still needs a path, in the house or through the internet. If you came here to avoid that path, the conditional recommendation is the EasyLook: bullets say no WLAN, the table says Wi-Fi, and reviewers report a monitor link with no remote viewing. If you thought wireless always means the router, and you do want a phone, leave EasyLook for the PPIC54520B, the PPIC31020, or the PPIC46520, and accept the app, plus the mains question on the lamp. What the lens records past your boundary is a separate duty from how the pictures travel.

Common questions

Does EasyLook use my router?
The bullets say no internet and no WLAN. Reviewers describe power-on, a picture on the monitor, and no home-Wi-Fi password. The technical table on the same listing says Wi-Fi. Keep both. We did not capture the radio in a lab. The camera is still 12 volt corded, so a no-WLAN bullet is not the same claim as a camera with no cable.
Why does the table say Wi-Fi?
Because that is what the connectivity cell prints on the amazon.co.uk file for B0B4SYR61Y, captured on 15 October 2026. The bullets in that file say the opposite. Dropping the cell would hide the contradiction. If you need bullets and table to agree on Wi-Fi, that is the PPIC54520B, the PPIC31020, or the PPIC46520, not a corrected EasyLook.
Which of the six need App2Cam Plus?
The PPIC54520B, the PPIC31020, and the PPIC46520 name App2Cam Plus. EasyLook does not. The PPIC36520 mentions an app and does not name App2Cam Plus. The CASA30500 does not name an app. Needing the named app is the opposite of the no-router job in EasyLook's bullets. A card in the camera does not remove the network when you want to watch on a phone.
Does local recording on the PPIC54520B still need Wi-Fi to watch?
One long review says the card can record without the network, and that the network is for watching and download. Internet, in that review, is for when you are away. The bullets do mention local storage. A live picture on the phone still needs a connection. The card size is not on the table, and reviews disagree about how large the supplied card is.
Is the CASA30500 a no-app camera?
The saved listing does not name an app, and it says wired and wireless. It also has no Customer Reviews line, a garbled title, and 480p at £221.23. That is not evidence of a monitor you can watch without a router. The listing reviewers describe that way is the EasyLook. The CASA30500 prints both 8 metres and 30 metres, with no owner reports in the file we used.
