Question WiFi Digital Camera which uploads to COMPUTER

[hutyra.juraj1]

Hi all,

We are in need of a few Wi-Fi Digital cameras for our production department. The reason for this is to bypass manual process of taking cameras to office and downloading images using cable.
Ideally we want to take pictures, and these should be automatically uploaded straight to folder of a computer- which is on the same network.
I have looked through the range cameras on the market, but most of them describe that you can see images on tablet or mobile device (only~?) . Many cameras which i have looked at only make Wifi spot , to which you need to connect to download images...
But this basically mean you have to disconnect PC from the Wifi network to connect to Camera's network- which is no use really.

Can anyone recommend a simple to use camera which will do this?
Or a camera function I need to search for?

Thanks, J

You can't really do that with a camera, you need to save it in the camera, then copy it to the computer or upload to cloud storage from the camera options then grab that way.

The function you're looking for is "pass through internet"
Allows simultaneous connection to a computer, and the computer/laptop can also be talking to the network or internet.

The Eye-Fi SD cards used to be really, really good at what you're seeking. But alas, they went the way of the dodo, and corporate idiocy.

Supposedly, the Toshiba FlashAir v4 cards will do this.
But...I have one and have not been able to make it actually work.

Read this thread at Toms Hardware:

I've not had the free time to play with mine to try this.

Look into WiFi SD cards, instead of the whole camera:
