Is a computer necessary to use this security system?
Yes I would recommend having a computer to use this system. The setup for this was a little confusing at first trying to get the device to properly work on my network. Without my computer I would have probably been baffled when nothing worked. There are a lot of differences in how the Smart Phone app works and the access and controls via a web browser. You can always use your phone web browser to access, however it can be clunky, and unless you have Internet Explorer you cannot zoom from this interface.
