So my router is incapable of connected to another network and will only be in
charge if its own one?

normally, a wifi router creates a wifi network (ssid) for computers,
phones, tablets, set top boxes, iot devices, etc. to join, all sharing
the single isp connection out to the world and communicating with other
devices on the lan.

some wifi routers can be configured to join an existing wifi network
(i.e., acting as a client, not a host), common in travel routers, less
so in home units.

which router do you have?



I guess they've done that to allow you to view the camera output directly,
all I wanted was to access the memory card.

that sounds like it's the easiest solution, unless the camera can be
used via usb.


i don't know what that clamp thing does (likely proprietary), but the
camera uses tcp/ip over wifi.

Are you sure?

very sure.

Since you don't know the model of the camera.

but i do know what app it uses and that the camera creates a wifi
network for the phone to join.
