I've been having issues with theft out back behind my house in my barn, is there a way to make the cameras wireless?

Yes, you can make the entire system wireless by purchasing a wireless repeater to extend internet to your barn. Basically the repeater will grab your existing wifi, and extend it around your barn area. Now, the benefit that you are looking for would be the repeaters that have an ethernet port to allow LAN connections. Like this one for instance. TP-LINK N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender (TL-WA850RE)

Buy 200' or longer Siamese (signal/power) cables and bury the wires in pvc conduit. May lose some quality but better then nothing.

the camera isn't wireless but the video monitor is. The camera must be plugged into a power source.

I think...and I can't really remember...you have to click your wifi off after the setup process and switch the switch on the back of the camera if I remember correctly. Here's a number to the seedonk/isecurity 18002932168. Good luck!!

I also inquired of an online manual and the answer is 'no, there is not.' It has a disk that walks you through the set up. It should be fine for your cameras, it versatile with many, but it's always best to hard wire them with cat 5 instead of wireless. I also tried to do wireless from the NVR to my router (you will need a wireless chipset to plug into the NVR - optional), but didn't have much luck that's why I hardwired to a Cisco LAN switch. It does capture when you use an external hard drive = 1TB

I don't see why not. The DVR takes 12v and if I'm not mistaken the cameras do to. Worst case scenario you just get a little tiny power inverter and plug the system in normally like that. You will most likely have to get a small monitor(a cheap little flat screen computer monitor would be more than sufficient) to set up your custom options and such though. Heck, if you plan on having your tool truck(s) parked in your parking lot/driveway when not in use, you could even put a wireless network bridge in the truck so that whenever your truck is parked for the night, it could be using your wifi for all the internet options it provides(remote viewing, email upon motion detection, etc). Edit: On second thought, you don't really need a monitor in the truck though. You could just set up your options on any TV anywhere before putting the DVR in the truck. Then, if you need to review footage to find the cause of damage/theft, simply bring the DVR to the nearest TV and hook it up.

The camera can use a wireless network or be connected to an Ethernet cable. But either way it needs a power cable to work. You would need to run an outdoor outlet conduit box and have it power that way. But this is by no means a full weatherproof outdoor camera. At least not by my standards. Look into the outdoor vandal proof dome cameras.

Yes, but too expensive. After trying wireless systems for a year and getting tired of restting them and restarting them and having them die. I went ahead and put in wired camera system and have had no problems ever since. Better quality viewing and no downtime.

Camera isn't wireless and like most, if not all IP cameras, can be port forwarded on your router for remote viewing. One caveat though, make sure you pay attention to the minimum lighting requirement

It is NOT a wireless camera. Sorry. Write HD Video Depot if you already bought it and they will hook you up with what you need. When I wrote em they were GREAT, both in time to respond and getting me what I needed.

I do not recommend using any of these wireless cameras but instead find far better performance by connecting to my router via Ethernet cable. WiFi just can't keep up. Most of the other folks having issues probably would do better by running an Ethernet cable to the camera.

if you refer to attaching cameras to dvr, You can make an adaptation, so you won´t escape from having electrical outlets in each camera location, and having 4 transceivers also with a bunch of cables on their way. the cost is so high for what you want, is better to search for IP based wireless cameras with NVR and compare. in other hand if you refer to network connection for remote viewing, you can do what Mr Roubach commented on previous post, with a router or with Access point (with bridge or client features enabled) attached to dvr on Ethernet port.

The camera itself is wireless. You have to have an electrical outlet within 4 feet to plug the camera in to power each one.

you need an outlet for the cam, discuss whether you have it exterior or interior, we have our cam plugged inside, so had to drill a hole through wall to the exterior where the cam would be hooked up outside.... we had our cam successfully connected to a wired network, but not wireless because of the type of modem we have, so its also important to contact your wireless provider and discuss the type of security camera's you want to use and want to make sure you can access the modem by computer to set up wireless access for the cameras.

Yes this is a wireless camera that works pretty well. I had no problems with the ones I purchased for a project and the receivers are a good 20 feet away in a closet. I opted for the power cord rather than battery but other than that all was well.

the system is not wireless and I would recommend a better system if you plan on using it for ever, the camera failed me in 1 season.

I have found none and have tried several. The instructions are extremely poor and the setup even worse. Honeywell claims this as a feature but doesn't support it. If you are using a Foscam, I recommend using the Foscam app so you can view cameras anywhere over the internet.

Your unit is wireless but can be hardwired with this cvc6945 indoor/outdoor camera
