I can't get my cameras to accept more than one connection (login) without there being constant lag throughout or connection issues. Solution anyone?

They have tech support team to walk you through the setup, you can call them

I don't think this unit cycles between cameras. You have to manually select which camera you want to view.

I have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.

Make sure to log into the camera when connected to ethernet. Once connected, set a static IP on your local LAN. you must then disconnect the ethernet cable. Power cycle the camera. you should be good to go.

I use a great free program called "iSpy". I have 2 pairs of different branded cameras working on iSpy at the same time. From what I understand, you can have many more than that. The list of cameras this software supports is huge. I'd say you'd have a hard time finding a camera not supported. It does take a little reading to understand, but there are a ton of youtube and other help guides out there. Once you get it set up and running, I'd also recommend Google Chrome's new Remote Desktop. I use this to check on the camera's/house when I'm away from home on my phone. I used to use TeamViewer, but Chrome Remote Desktop has been a much better experience. All of this software is free and iSpy is CONSTANTLY being improved upon and updated. The team of people working on iSpy are some truly talented people.

If it is just a 1 camera then it would not go back and forth from screen to screen - as there should only be 1 screen (1 camera). I would suggest trying to disconnect and then re-connect the camera and monitor, and see if that resets it and fixes the problem. If that doesn't correct your problem, contact support at svat.com.

You can hook 2 cameras but I don't think there is an easy way to switch. No buttons easily accessible. I only use one camera but am sure 1 probably has priority over the other.

There is a lag and it seems to vary. The camera restarts on its own if the power is interrupted but has to reconnect to the router and that does take maybe a minute or even 2 but it does come back up as soon as it can get online.

I haven't done it yet, but there is a port on the side of the camera you can plug your connection line into. It is the same port I have on my Cannon camera, so I am assuming you can use any connection line you have for your camera.

I have three cam connected and all work fine. When an object hits one camera it will record otherwise the three images can be viewed all the time.

If your camera/cable connections are the same, I don't see any problem. Which they are usually standard. I would still suggest to call the defender support to ask if your cameras are compatible with the device.

You should not have to pair the cameras separately all that often, let alone ever more than once. Many times users get the menu interface confused where they will go to the pairing option rather than the scanning option, in which case it can almost seem like you have to pair the cameras every time. Be sure to make it to the scanning mode rather than the pairing mode, as the menu images do seem a bit similar.

You can view each camera you connect individually at full screen, and if you just connect two and not far two of the squares will just say no signal

In the options menu of the monitor there is a place to select how many you have. Once selected it will go into pairing mode for the second camera.

you need to have more than one port if you do not have a wireless connection. If you have a wireless connection, you might be able to setup my connecting the camera to the one LAN port. Other than that, you are going to need more than one port splitter (C2G / Cables to Go 37133 2-Port RJ45 Splitter/Combiner Cable, Gray 6-Inch (Single Unit*)).

Sorry I don't know the answer to that question, I thought about going wifi, did a little research I found out that the security system would hog up all my wifi power and that computers would lag possibility of camera lag along with other devices, so I hard wired everything all cameras which is time consuming but reliable and now I don't have to worry about all my other devices.
