A:Answer The short answer is no -- to view the camera feed the camera needs to be connected to the internet via wifi, and you can only stream the video from the Belkin NetCam servers. The camera does not broadcast video directly via wifi.
The full answer is that the camera only broadcasts its own SSID when it is in Configuration mode (there's a switch on the back to switch between Configuration and Camera mode). While in Configuration mode you can change your phone to the same network and access the camera's settings through the Belkin NetCam app. However, once you have made the desired changes, you need to switch the camera back to Camera mode to have the changes take effect and for the camera video to be accessible in the app from your phone.
The camera and the app do a surprisingly good job of poking the necessary hole in your router to be accessible from the internet, but this convenience of course is creating security implication that you may be trying to avoid based on the context of your question to stream the video on the same ssid!
