Does this system work without Internet connection? Just cameras recording to DVR and/or displaying on a monitor?

Internet is the only option for liveview through smartphone and computer. Hence, it will definitely work without internet if you just want to record on your DVR.

The unit will operate completely on its own with no external connections of any kind. It only requires that you plug it in for power and plus the video cable into a TV so that you can set your options and make sure your cameras are all pointed where you want to monitor. No internet connection of any kind is required.

Sorry I don't know if it will connect with a dvr. Mine are connected via ADT pulse system, everything is then recorded on my laptop & iPhone. I'm not using a dvr with my system. You could call ADT directly and ask them. If you don't have ADT pulse system now you should consider upgrading to PULSE, I love it I can turn my lights on & off from my phone, arm or disarm alarm system from my phone & watch & record my home from my phone or laptop.

This camera system does not use any computer to operate. The cameras sync with the Netgear Vuezone router that comes with the system. You can log in and view your rooms from a mac or windows computer or a smartphone, using the netgear vuezone app. No computer is necessary for the use of the monitoring system or cameras (although you will need to have internet access to see your images). So, mac v windows is irrelevant - any means of internet access is adequate. I use mac laptop which works fine; my husband checks images with his iPad; I use my iPhone.

Internet is only required for remote viewing of the cameras. You can see the camera images without a monitor connected to the DVR unit through a web browser if you connected the DVR to your LAN, however the resolution is poor compared to using a high quality LCD monitor connected to the VCR. The beauty of this system is that you can see the cameras on a smartphone or a remote pc with Internet connectivity.

The camera will work and record without any set up. You will however need Windows to change the settings to mph and adjust the time zone. Did this once on a pc and have been downloading and viewing files on my Macs.

That should work fine. Have you considered the higher resolution camera. Just make sure you have a Power Over Ethernet router or use the POE from the DVR. I have three cameras connect through a wireless bridge. That works great.

These cameras aren't wireless capable, however, if you hook up the DVR to your local network via a cat5/ethernet cable, than you should be able to access the cameras wirelessly if you have a wireless router.

Absolutely! Download iSpy video surveillance software (free - google it), Set up your camera on your computer or home network. No need to be on line unless you want to remote view (offsite) your camera.I have six cameras set up this way with no internet access.

Not sure about wireless capabilities since my system is hard-wired. However, some devices have the option to monitor the cameras using the Internet, but you'll need to have a switch or router connected to the recording device and configure accordingly.

Thank you for your inquiry.You'll need the DVR, camera wiring, and a power supply to make the system work.Please visit the following link:http://www.amazon.com/GW-Surveillance-Security-Recording-4~9mmVari-Focal/dp/B00FT8H0G0/ref=sr_1_61?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1398835620&sr;=1-61&keywords;=gw+system

Try Netviewer. (Google it.) It worked fine for Win7 where Web Client for DVR would not.

It works without any computer connection. It records straight from your video source to a SD memory card.

These answers are wrong. You do not need internet access and can view the cameras using local (LAN) IP addresses.

Only with IP based dvr, like iSpy. Analog based dvr like Swann or Lorex will not work.

Each camera is set to record, data is stored on dvr per channel. Does not have to be connected to internet. Connection to internet is needed only if you wanted to connect to dvr remotely through smartphone or computer. I have not done it yet, but I understand you can save the recorded data to a computer.
