Does anybody have any info., on the D-Link Cloud Services? I understand that live-time viewing is free; I want to record 24/7. Does the D-Link Web Portal allow this service? If so are there fees associated? How much?

Not sure how you have wireless internet without a router. However, yes you need a router, the camera is useless without one.

Yes, the camera has a pretty decent set of tools/services/options built into it. It will be necessary to forward the IP ports on your router/firewall in order to view it. You will want to purchase the Blue Iris software to go along with this camera anyway for advanced DVR recording. It will also let you stream live as well as playback from archive. The Blue Iris software will be much easier to work with rather than the camera software. The picture quality is amazing.

I use it with Sensr.net. It's an NVR in the cloud. One month storage, $9.95 for the first camera, $4.95 for additional cameras.

I bought this DVR in Nov.2013 and hooked it up to my existing a dome color camera and a bullet and it working great so far for me including the remote view from my smart phone. I recommended that you contact the Q-See customer service about your problem. The customer there are very nice and friendly people they help me set up the remote view on my system.Hope that help

Mine arrived on Tuesday (11/27) and I'm having mixed results. I mainly want it as a portable DVR (I bought it with the docking station) and sometimes it works and other times I can't even see the recording tab to select it. It was great watching Monday night's Heros while I was riding the train yesterday (it was saved to my Comcast DVR on Monday and I transferred it to the 705 on Tuesday evening), and I was able to hook up a card reader to transfer photos from my camera flash cards (after updating the firmware), so I've had some success. The overall problem is poor documentation, and I'm hoping to resolve my problems by playing with it this weekend. Mine arrived on Tuesday (11/27) and I'm having mixed results.

The camera connects via a standard BNC coax cable to any DVR that supports the NTSC encoding. The DVR should support D1 speeds. This is not an HD camera, so it will not connect to a DVR that is designed for HD-SDI, or HD over BNC. The DVR will have a connection to a local PC type monitor or TV screeen to display the image. Most DVR's today also support Internet connection for remote viewing.

Unless you can run a DVR through a computer, they don't use DVR. they use IP addressed and VPN. You can watch from your phone or computer. I can monitor from my office everyday.

As others have said, it depends on the DVR. Usually if the DVR can be connected to a network, you can make the necessary adjustments on your router (e.g. port forwarding) make make the DVR "internet visible". There are dozens of free apps for viewing live video streams.

I'm not sure I understand your question..does it have to be connected to a DVR all the time for what?? To be able to view? No but it needs to be connected to something in order to be viewed

There are quite a few different kind of solutions, but the general principle is the same. This camera has no on-board storage for recording, so you must use either a dedicated NVR (Network Video Recorder) device or a computer that is on 24/7 that's available to record onto. If you use a computer, you can use one of many NVR software solutions out there - some free, some not. I've heard good things about Blue Iris, GeniusVision Community Edition (free and works well), and Milestone XProtect which has a free version for up to 8 cameras and a 5 day recording limit. I'm not familiar with the others, but I know Milestone has a mobile app for Android and iPhone. If you don't wish to record, you can probably set up your router to port-forward HTTP requests to your cameras' IP addresses so you can bring up your cameras' web pages over the internet. You could then use the cameras' webpages to view the live video feeds. This would only be live viewing - no recording, and probably won't work on mobile devices since, I believe, the Hikvision camera live view window requires a plugin to be installed. Whichever option you choose, it won't be a simple plug-n-play solution.

Not the "LIve" feed. You can watch live feed video without the cloud. Motion captured pics are sent free to email. U do need cloud to replay captured video.

Thanks for your interest in our product.Without a HDD, the DVR would only be capable of live viewing and live remote internet viewing; you would not be able to record footage or play back footage.RegardsMolly

Hi, I have it on the network and it streams to my Debian server running Zoneminder. It works OK for the money. If you have a decent recent version of linux (Ubuntu for instance) with java support in the browser, you can configure it on the browser just fine. I didn't try it with motion, but I see no reason not to work, since it works in Zoneminder. This is the url I user in zoneminder: http://&lt;username&gt;:&lt;password&gt;@&lt;ip&gt;/cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi Replace the stuff in &lt;&gt; with the proper info. I hope this helps. Even though this works fine, I would recommend you a better quality camera in the same price range, like the new D-Link. If you do a research, you can buy one with about $35 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/D-Link-Wireless-N-Network-Surveillance-Camera-W-iPhone-Remote-Viewing-DSC-930L-/360817167462?pt=US_Security_Cameras&hash=item5402610c66)

There IS a TF(CF/SD) slot to local record, but I haven't ever used it. I have recorded through the browser interface or through Mios/Vera service with intranet/internet connections (meaning local network or Internet). It's been a great camera if you have a stationary spot you want to view day or night. The only issue I had was IR glare from a window which prevents me from viewing through the window when it is low light.

Just recieved the DVR and I only have two cams at this time connected. After setting them up and recording (it shows a red "R" on the monitor screen) I go back to search for the recorded files. I get "No recorded file !" I went to HDD and it shows the harddrive "online" but it will not record the files to the HD. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, we have yet to test it with Network Attached Storage, but if it's treated the same as an external hard drive, you can record to it but only on continuous recording mode. As it is right now, we support recording right to a PC on the network via IE browser (with ActiveX enabled) or iSpy, which is a third party IP camera recording application. We do have a cloud-based storage solution in the works...we're currently about 3 weeks out from going live with it.
