Will the wireless indoor camera's motion sensor still detect motion and trigger alarm without active wi-fi?

@eBear The Smart Alarm Wireless Indoor Security Camera does require a WiFi connection in order to detect motion and trigger an alarm. Without WiFi, the camera will not be able to function properly.

Thanks very much!  I was hoping that if the wi-fi is inactive, that the camera's motion sensor would still be able to operate and trigger the alarm.  Thanks again.

Actually, I just tested it and with the Wi-FI turned off, the camera's motion sensor STILL works and triggers the alarm if it detects motion.  This indicates to me that the camera can operate as a legitimate motion detector if the WI-FI is off.
