If you have to leave your computer on to monitor cameras while away from home, can hackers or spyware get access to the cameras?

If the computer is connected to the Internet, it is possible to be hacked. The chance becomes much more remote if you have a strong password. This product includes a DVR which does not have to be connected to a computer.

This product doesn't run on your computer. It runs on its own software built in and records for you on its own hard drive.

I believe it will. The system I have feeds into a Hard drive and then directly to a monitor. A mouse connects to the drive. Since it can network, windows could view. Problem I found was trying to hide all the stuff so would be thief doesn't throw a rock at the camera or take the hard drive.

You can watch what the camera is monitoring via Skype from any computer, essentially it is a seperate feature. The monitor has to be in range of the camera and does not work off of SKype.

Unless you can run a DVR through a computer, they don't use DVR. they use IP addressed and VPN. You can watch from your phone or computer. I can monitor from my office everyday.

I would advise you plug this in somewhere that is securely inaccessible, either have it directly feeding inside your home or some kind of box by the camera with all wiring covered and out of reach, don't want someone walking by out of sight of your camera, pulling the plug or snipping the cable and disabling your security.

No, you need an IP camera also called an internet camera. This camera will display video on a monitor which is good for CCTV (closed circuit TV). There are tons of IP camera on the internet. Google them.

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

Not that I know of. It seems like anytime it is plugged in with Internet access, it is on. Sounds like that would be the function of some outside recording device if that is your intention. This camera simply provides a live feed. Good quality audio and video for indoors.

The supplied DVR and camera combination will work fine without an internet connection. However you will have to supply a monitor to view the recordings or live video feeds.

You can set it up and disconnect. Of course, when you wish to do any checks or work on parts of your system, you need a computer to access their site and see your setup, etc.

The only way you can remotely watch the cameras are with an internet connection. The cameras have a dvr box that must be connected to the internet. Without doing so you can only see live images on a screen

Yes, they can. I set up behavioral analytics in the SIEM which determine unusual behavior from a user. Staying active night and day certainly sticks out (and looks malicious). Guy lost everything on his HDD when we re-imaged the "infected" computer. Same behavior started up immediately with a clean system and a new HDD, so I had a tech swing by his desk when he wasn't there to see what was going on.

yes but you have to go into set up ane turn off the interior cameras. but don't forget to turn them back on when you leave. i have not found a way to turn all the interior cam's off with just a push of a button. you also could just unplug them and plug them back up when you leave. hope this helps.

I've got to make an assumption that you are using a security system, and is the basis of your question. If your security camera has digital output, it can be recorded and stored on an external hard drive.

The recorded images can be viewed on your laptop by removing the SD card from the Covert Alarm Clock DVR and inserting into the SD slot on your laptop. It can also be viewed by plugging in the RCA cables if your laptop/computer monitor allow. Please see owner's manual for more information.

Yes. You will need a special DVR card in your computer or a computer based DVR. The DVR card will also need to accept BNC video connection which is common for surveillance camera.
