1 yes you can watch 1-4 or 8 channels at the same time but not 2. With the remote you can press 1-8 and it will go to the channel you press. 2. The max frame rate is 30 for all 8 channels. 2a. You can have 2 channels HD1 or D1 the other 6 CIF. 3. Yes it has motion masking you can even set up the how strong or weak it is and what part of your yard/street is motion sensor 4. With the alarm off I can not hear it at all, with the alarm on it beeps but you can set it for how long it beeps. you can even have it fixed were it does not beep unless you loose a channel single or HD single. I hope this answered all your questions

One receiver=one program at a time. The DVR has just one receiver so, whether watching live TV or recording, the unit can only receive one program at a time. Use an RF splitter to send a signal to both your TV and the DVR and you'll be able to record one show to the DVR and watch a different show simultaneously on your TV using the TV's receiver.You can watch a show previously recorded to the DVR hard drive while simultaneously recording another show to the hard drive.

Yes it does, my company has about 12 of these and they work great for the most part however there is one thing to watch out for. If you are wanting to view your camera's remotely sometimes the DVR will randomly lose it's network configuration. We have 2 8channels that do it about once a week. But so far the 16 channels have been great.

The one I got was not a recorder. Also, the number of shows recorded is a feature of your satellite service provider. The standard is record 2 while watching 1. You have to pay extra to get the additionals. Not sure about your 2nd question. It is not "wireless", so it will grab the signal only as far away as the cable length allows <;-)

You can setup multiple dvr's on the same network. Viewing them remotely might be an issue if you aren't Tech savvy. Each device will need a static IP address or you might be able to use one static in your router and port forward from there. The other option you have is dynamic DNS which Q-See offers for free. I currently use the dynamic DNS but I have trouble viewing remotely after a few days until I reboot the DVR.

On this system there is only input for 4 cameras (channels). If you think you will need/want more cameras get the DVR with 8 or more camera/channel inputs.

Hi John, The 16 channel dvr can support up to 16 cameras however if you only wanted to use 1 camera or 5 cameras on that system that would be ok too. It's really up to your discretion on how many cameras you'd like to use up to the maximum 16. I hope that helps answer your question.

The DVR's got 8 audio channels corresponding to 8 video channels. If you are interested in letting 8 video channels to hear from the same audio; the only way I can think of to do it is to get an audio wire (RCA) splitter We don't carry an audio wire splitter; please purchase this from other vendors.

I have my unit set up on continuous record and i get about a week operating with 8 camera's before i have to reformat the DVR.

8 channels means you can connect 8 cameras to your dvr, record and view 8 different angles at once. I have a 2 story home so I needed to view more angles. Bottom line it all depends on how much you want/ need to view (of course your budget too).

O.K. So far so good==Got the system working with your suggestion of a FIOS STB box.Using a splitter I now can watch one program and record another== Here's the rub=== When setting the recording I don't understand how to indicate the Channel to record =-= all I get L1/ L2 /Ch3.. How can I set the channel wanted???

Yes, you can record over-the-air digital channels. The Tivo forums website has a lot of information about using Tivo DVRs. Enjoy

Yes, 16 channels mean u can have up to 16 cameras. The system I got has only 8 cameras. So if u want 16 cameras, u need to buy 8 more cameras.

The 8 channel you can add up to four additional cameras. Its' a great system.

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.

Well... It has only one bnc input, and you can still see 4 or 16 or as many cameras as you want, it is the dvr where the info is coming from. In other words, you connect cameras to dvr and the dvr to monitor. The dvr sets the number of cameras that you can view... Hope it helps, good luck

Don't know. I have the receiver hooked to a DVR at home to record the video. I guess you could connect remotely to the DVR to monitor which camera channel you wanted to watch.
