By having a limit of 3, I am hindered in my installation as I can only connect 1 camera to the DVR using 2, with 1 leftover doing nothing. I need 6!

What type of system do you have in terms of how many channels, or are they audio capable or not. I am assuming that you have a Revo system. I would also like to know if you are attempting to connect BNC cameras to your REVO system?

I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to. I'd just put a coax splitter off my antenna feed and run it to both units. If that weakened the signal too much, you could simply get a separate antenna for the 2nd DVR.

No. A 4 camera system has only 4 connectors, thus you cannot add more cameras.

The software can handle 8 cameras but the poe switch in the back of the unit only has 4 ports. To hook up more than 4 cameras you would have to hook them up to an external poe switch or use a switch and injectors to get the power to the cameras.

Yes purchase the 16 cameras. It will allow for extras in case one or more get hit by a voltage strike, or just burn out.

I am using 7 of this camera with Blue Iris software on a pc.and using 3 of them on a Dahua NVR (same brand) at a diffrent location. It's always better to use the same brand NVR .be carful when buying NVR some of them say that they support 16 cameras but they only support 4cameras at 3mp. So if you are trying to connect 16 cameras at full 3mp then you need to by a more powerful NVR or buy multiple NVRs.

The entire amount the system can hold and function with is 4 cameras. So if you buy a system set up with 2 cameras you can add two more cameras to your package. If you buy the system with 4 cameras then thats your max for the set up.Hope that helped Kimberly.

The Astak system has capability to handle four cameras on four separate channels. You can find additional cameras at Astak's home web page and probably for less at other sites. Just google Astak cameras and browse. Be aware you have to set a little switch on the camera's pigtail (Check the manual) to a channel that has not been selected already by the other cameras. Good luck, John H.

You can have up to 4 cameras as long as they are the same brand of course. I bought the monitor with only one camera, but can buy additional cameras as needed.

Should be 2, but unless you have direct line of sight between camera and reciver, it won't work.

if you wanted to, you can hook only one camera. each camera works on a separate cannel. doesn't affect the system. you don't have any problem.

First, measure more precisely how long the run will be. If it is 90' then a 100' cable will be sufficient. You can order longer than 100' if needed. But a longer cable is all you'll need. I have six cameras and I placed the DVR in the center of my house. The standard 65' cables were long enough for 5 of my cameras, but I had to order a 100' cable for one camera.

This system is OK. It is sufficient for one single camera only. I have had issues running multiple cameras that run a sequence of shots. This often causes disruption with the recording. If I had to do it over I would take the funds I invested in this system and would have purchased a professional DVR that can handle multiple cameras or inputs. Technology has changed dramatically in even a year! I would research other option before committing. The system is as mentioned OK but in no way a perfect or great solution.

My package came with 8 cameras. I bought 2 more cameras about a month later. I installed one of them so I didnt have a blank spot on my monitor. I have it set up to view 9 cameras at once. 3 on top 3 in the middle and 3 on the bottom. I found I really don't need 10 cameras but have an extra one in case one dies on me or I decide I need it at some point. Not sure if that abswered your question or not. Its a 16 channel system so you can use 1 camera or 4 or 8 or buy enough to put 16 up. More than 16 cameras for this system I don't know. As far as intergrate it with another system. That's a question I cant answer. My package came with 8 cameras. I bought 2 more cameras about a month later. I installed one of them so I didnt have a blank spot on my monitor.

You can swap out the cameras that come with it. If it is an 8 channel DVR then you can add up to 4 more.
