I have it hooked to four cameras i purchased from harbor freight...the way i have it hooked up is very unconventional because my cameras need to be hooked to the mini monitor they came with for their power...so i had to purchase different male and female connectors for it to work...i looked on amazon to see what might work for me and went from there...i decided to go that avenue because the quality of both audio and video from my cameras was worth the extra effort. Most cameras can be hooked to this dvr by obtaining the right connectors.If you need additional help...feel free to ask...i know it can get very frustrating.

I'm sorry, I don't remember for certain how mine worked...or didn't work. I sent it back after about an hour of trying to get it to even be recognized by my computer there was very little (if anything) that DID work the way it was supposed to. I suggest you do the same. Return it and remember...most of the time...you get what you pay for. I ended up buying a very nice camera I'm pleased with on ebay for something like $20-$30. Good luck.

Hi,What is your operating system...PC window or Mac? I am looking for a camera that will work as a webcam also and it seems that Fujis are ones mentioned, but have not found any info on which cameras or how to hook up. I see no one replied to your posting, but wondered if you ever got the S700 to work as a webcam as i am very interested in this camera...thanks

I'm wondering this too. Did either of you end up getting one of the cameras? Any reviews?

Hello D. Hall have you already bought the camera?? I did and I am not very happy with it. the pictures it takes in the auto mode are not what I was waiting.. and the pictures with the movement mode.. are not clear enough... so tell me please if you get it and if it is working fine. Susana from Ecuador.

the only thing I can think of is that one of the camera's don't work. Maybe you can return the unit for another one. good Luck.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

Yeah shure, but try to used a class 10 sd card. I used a ultra sandisck class 10 16Gb sd card for this camera. Hope it helps.

I have the very same problem. There must be some type of program error. I did a lot of research and gave up. I just pull the SD card and plug into my PC. There was no warranty on my camera when I found out it would not work with my PC or TV.

The camera never worked from day one. I have followed the instructions to the letter. I had my friend Jason from Super Computer work with it. The company buys defective ones dirt cheap and resells them is what their customer service told me. So thats that.

Same issue with my Sony cam. Get the error message but I continue and use it, in spite of the error message. Works OK but is quite irritating. Haven't had the failure yet, hope i don't. Seems Sony has a proprietary card format, and as you probably know they are very proud of their cards. (expensive) I would suggest that you bite the bullet and pay the Sony price to ensure you don't have a camera failure.Good luck with your issue!

Nothing except the camera. It has never worked correctly. A friend recommended it and hers worked. Mine simply never has. I don't recommend it.

hi there....I have this unit, absolutely love it for location shoots for my clients to view right on the spot..they are always impressed when they see it on an ipad....any DLSR that has a usb connection on the side of the camera should work...you just need to find out what kind of usb connection it is, whether it is a micro or something else..cords come with the camranger and the cords should have come with your camera too. If you have any questions on buying the unit, contact them directly they are great about answers. Also, if you buy it and shoot raw, it is extremely slow. I contacted them and they told me to put it in small jpeg and raw so the viewing would be faster for download. hope this helps

This is also happening to me and I was trying to find a parent unit replacement when I found your post. I'm also out of warranty at 2.5 years, so I know Motorola won't assist. I was hoping to find the parent unit sold alone, but I guess it had to come linked to a camera, then, can I link my older cameras to that system?

Hey Sean,I am eager to see your new posts about your camera. Since the prices are dropping dramatically here, I will order one soon myself. On another site, someone said that one of the issues with people... not the camera is that they keep expecting it to do what a DSLR (I think that is right/ I am inexperienced here) does. What are soft images?

Our camera is still working beautifully; I have not heard whether others have had issues. Good luck!
