Can I set up this system to watch my house from my office?

Yes you just need a DVR that has the capabilities to do it. There is also an app that allows you to see live from your phone.

Yes. More importantly, the DVR system is what allows you to view these cameras from your cell phone or computer. Check out ELEC HDMI 8 Channel DVR Security Recorder. Easy to set up. Allows for remote viewing of your cameras. fyi.. Choose a camera with 700 TVL. I found that anything less does NOT provide good clarity/quality.

If you can use a wired system. You should. I had to add power in my soffit of house to install cameras, I am an electrician so not to hard but for the common man may be a challenge.

You can, using the free app ASee. It does require some set up in the Defender DVR and in your wireless router settings but it's worth it.

If you can add a sensor you can add this to your system. If you dont have the password to do so your monitoring company should have it. This has a plug in wall transformer with back up batteries to power it. It will not run long on the batteries so it needs to go someplace you can plug it in. I mounted above an outlet, poked hole in drywall and ran the cord in the drywall and back out behind the plate over the outlet.

Yes, you can. The system is ready to operate, just connect the cameras. You can set up the system with the remote control and/or mouse provided.

I have it setup through my home computer. Any motion is recorded on that computer.

Yes, this would work fine for that. In addition to the motion detector, use the window/door sensor... Great idea!

Yes, but you have to get it programed by you security system provider. They can do it over the phone with you. Its pretty easy.

It looks like you are getting conflicting answers to your question. I guess the real answer is "It depends". If you just are monitoring the cameras at home then the answer is no. A wirelss LAN in your home will do the trick. If you want to monitor the cameras when away from home, then the internet is required, unless you have a very long cable. :)

I purchased mine to work with my current security system, which I do pay for. Interested in hearing if others are able to use it, remotely, free of fees.

Your best bet would bet would be to buy a unit for each building you want to monitor.Their Current probes (C-Clamps) are NOT "off the shelf" parts and multiplexing cables would be tough and likely end up as a "Kludge".

Eyez on has the envisalink3 and u hook it up to your router then u can monitor your system and turn it on and off from anywhere in the world setup is pretty basic

I guess that depends on how far apart they are and what is in the walls, etc. The monitor here is in a separate garage apartment and the receiver is at the opposite end of our house. They are at least 100 feet apart. The system has worked great for us.

Yes. I do. The door sensor transmits an open signal and can be read by as many detector/indicators as you want. The range however is limited. My second detector won't work in our bedroom which is at the opposite end of the house, about 50 feet away. So I located it in a spot I would see in the evening a little closer to the doors. If I were you I'd start with one and try it in the places you might want. If it works fine buy another. I like the system. I really thought it was going to be so so because the price was so resonable. It has been completely reliable I the past 6 months.

Yes. Www.z-wave.com has a lot of info. If you ever want to add alarm.com so you can control from outside the home I can set you up on a cheap plan with no contract.

You can use it as a Public Address system to make general announcements to all parts of the building having the system e.g. WAKE UP NOW ITS TIME TO GET READY FOR CHURCH!! I use that one most Sundays when I'm downstairs and they are playing possum while I wash the dishes. I sneak and set it up Saturday nights late as my son likes to turn down the volume on me. It works great :) .
