Digital cameras are convenient because they do not have to have their pictures developed. You can turn any digital camera that uses an SD memory card into a Wi-Fi camera that will never need to be connected to a computer. You will need a SD Wi-Fi memory card, of which there are a few available for purchase in varying storage sizes at computer and electronic stores. A home network is also required in order to be able to use the Wi-Fi camera you will have made.
