I'm a total beginner--if the cameras are put up outside on the house-they need an extension cord to plug in? any DVR or Samsung DVR only?

My understanding is this is for a Samsung DVR and I'm not sure if it will work with another system although it seem a lot of brands are interchangeable or at least have the same connectors. These cameras came with 60ft cords which have 2 connections 1 is a co-axle "video" the other is for the power for the camera. I hope this helps :-)

As long as the wire that comes with camera is long enough to reach camera, you are ok. The electric and video are both in that wire. Curious about DVR answer, cause I am having issues with mine and it's been less than a year so I am thinking about going with another brand....

Not sure if this helps... I have Comcast DVR and it works. Plugs to the tv.

It should come with four 60ft BNC cables for each camera. You can purchase other cables from 25ft up to 150ft through Amazon. If your just setting up for your house then the 60ft should work. I would suggest checking out the cameras when the package arrives. Hook them up and make sure they work. What I can suggest to you is to pick up some cameras that have a higher TVL (Television Lines). Like a 400TVL to 800TVL which improves the quality of the video you're seeing. You could buy the DVR by itself, the cameras separate, which some of the cameras come with 50ft BNC cables.

You will need a analog dvr and a sd car.Our supplier recommends the Pocketlitedvr2. We don't have this dvr listed, but we can obtain it for you, the price is $299.Regards,CoviSec 1.800.215.2294

The Ethernet port you plug your camera into must be a (POE port) which can be on your DVR already, or you can use a POE switch which has designated ports for your cameras which will provide power for them.

The cameras are powered with a plug-in transformer which has approximately a six foot low voltage cord. They do offer extension cords to allow for a greater distance to the plug. Good little cameras. I started using them wi-fi, but found plugging them into router gave better quality.

You have to hook it up to a DVR of some sort. I had an existing camera system with a DVR so I just bought the cords to connect it to that

The cable that is typically used to install these cameras has two leads... one for video and one for power. You would hook the power supply to the other end of the cable by your DVR or PC.

Power and Ethernet plug in. But you can have it wireless through your Wi-Fi. The power cord is only about 5-6 ft. You will deffinatly need an extender unless you have a plug right where you need the camera. Also as an fyi, I was just informed by the makers that their own program doesn't allow for motion recording and that a third party software is required. It also seems that their own software doesn't record on a set timer nor with manual recording as I tried the last two methods with no success. So far it's excellent in showing me what is streaming at a given moment but if I'm not there and something happens, there is no way to record unless third party software is used. So that was a headache. Good pic quality though.

No. This is a camera with 2 cables. One of which is the power supply. But you need to buy a longer camera cable to extend it to the dvr

You need a DVR to hook the cameras up to. The DVR will record the video from the cameras and can have the capability of allowing you to view the feed via cell phone or web browser. You will also need power supplies for these cameras.

Ms. Turner - thank you for your question about the Weatherproof Color Security System. I have never installed a security system. But, if you navigate over to the product, you can read a pretty thorough review by a customer relating his experience. Part of the review I'll share here: "Best advice for setting up these camera's would be that you set them near windows for easy line access into your home. Otherwise you'll want to run them to a pre-determined "hole" in your structure where you can run all the lines into the home to your DVR (if you have one) or monitor(s)(I use my large LCD TV and another smaller LED TV for two cameras without DVR). These are relatively small camera's as well so they can fit into "small nooks" or other such areas and even if you have double windows (and outside and inside mounted window), they'll fit between (if you don't want them 'outside'). " As you can see, he managed to use a spare monitor, T.V. and such as his viewing device. If your laptop is compatible or has the right video cable jacks you may able to do likewise. Please let us know when you get it installed and how it is performing for you. Happy Holidays!

Just plug the DVR into your tv and mount the camera where you need it. Works great signal is good also.

No this DVR is not wireless. You will need to get a wireless receiver that is compatible with your cameras and then connect the receiver to the DVR using the RCA plug type cables. Usually when you buy the wireless cameras a receiver comes with them.

It should work inside or outside a metal building. The camera gets electricity from an outlet. There is a transformer plug with 6' cord included with the camera to convert 120 household electricity to 12 v dc which is what the camera needs. Typically an extension cord made for security cameras (50, 75, 100 or 150 feet)carries the 12 v to the camera and the cameras picture to the display (TV, monitor etc.) and/or DVR. You Need a TV or monitor with a yellow RCA input. Some camera extension cords come with a converter plug to convert from the BNC connector on the monitor end to an RCA input The camera end is just a BNC connection so you don't need a converter It should work inside or outside a metal building.

Actually, the cameras get their power from their own power plug. You'll need two outlets to power this sytem, one for the dvr and one for the cameras. The power plug for the cameras have a splitter so you can power all 4 from one outlet.

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.
