Does the preferred package allow for the expansion of additional sensors AND a camera that is NOT the camera that comes in the premium package?

The preferred package allows you to add up to a maximum of 80 additional iSmartAlarm devices.Regarding the iCamera, our system currently does not support the addition of third-party cameras. If you don't want to purchase the premium package now, you can purchase the preferred package and purchase the iCamera separately to add to the system.

The answer to the first par of your question is yes, however to the second part of your question I do not have experience with generic cameras. Suffice to say that the camera provided with the premium package function excessively well and you can monitor from around the world. good luck.

the preferred, which is what i have, does allow for expansion of additional sensors and motion detectors that can be purchased through the ismart website. As for the second part of your question, I don't know I'm currently looking into that myself.

Yes, the system is entirely expandable. Additional sensors & the camera can be bought separately & added later.

I have never looked into that. I imagine that if there are firmware updates you could find them on Panasonics website. Probably best to have the camera registered first.

not with the purchase itself and it would be hard to find ones perfectly compatible with the existing unit. I love mine though, sturdy and classy. The extra space allows your equipment to 'breathe'. It is not an hindrance but a plus.

You can swap out the cameras that come with it. If it is an 8 channel DVR then you can add up to 4 more.

You can buy it extra... I don't know if the one I got was defective but it would not hold the camera still (when attached the camera would still be able to rotate freely on the tripod).

Not to this unit. There is an 8 channel unit that allows for up to 8 Cameras from this same manufacturer. Everything is the same except that unit also has a larger memory

Yes, and I happen to like the camera. But you can upgrade to more MP now at a low price...It's worth it for better quality

No. Additional cost. Similarly it does not include any specific mount package. Additional cost.

No, this particular package does not, but you can buy this with one if you want. I bought this as an additional sensor for the system I already had.

I don't think we can upgrade since those are customized. I think Amazon will only carry the two general versions, not built to order editions.

Yes. The system will accept one more camera (indoor or outdoor) if you buy one.

Yes you can add any camera you want. It has a standard video input for a camera.

Thank you for your helpful response. I plan on going ahead and purchasing the camera.

Yes it is expandable. For night owl the two digit model number (example 84) breaks down as the first digit being the maximum number of cameras (example 8) and the second is the number of cameras included.

every seller is a bit different. Be cautious of the kit your buying and read it carefully. I purchased this package last year. Much of what you are listing is the standard stuff that comes with the camera. Make sure the lenses are VR (vibration resistant). The standard lens is a much cheaper unit and some of the packages were not VR lenses. Hope this helps.

No! The cameras and the monitor are integrated wirelessly and do not allow a different monitor to be substituted or added.

I don't believe so. I guess if you could find out the broadcast code and frequency used, maybe. I highly suspect that their systems are proprietary in nature and would prevent other camera's from being used. I know that's what I would do. And really, for the price of additional camera's, it's worth it to just buy theirs.
