Can the cameras be set individually? i.e. interior cameras idle while exterior ones are on? For when we are home.

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.

These are indoor cameras. I recommend against using them outdoors, especially since Foscam makes outdoor versions that are similarly priced.

No out o the box but you can buy the software for the cameras that allows you doing it, I think is called blue iris and you can keep full control of up to 32 cameras. Out of the box you can see the cameras on real time, up to 9 cameras at the same time, being connected to the same network or remotely.

Each IR port can be independently controlled. The only way you would encounter a problem is if both DVRs are on the same IR port with a dual emitter cable.

No, you can switch between each camera. Or you can put it on scan mode, which cycles between cameras I believe every 10 seconds or so

Yes, you can. See my review of the 8-channel NVR for more details on this setup. Keep in mind that if you will either need a PoE switch or supply external power to the cameras if you go this route.

You should not have to pair the cameras separately all that often, let alone ever more than once. Many times users get the menu interface confused where they will go to the pairing option rather than the scanning option, in which case it can almost seem like you have to pair the cameras every time. Be sure to make it to the scanning mode rather than the pairing mode, as the menu images do seem a bit similar.

Yes, we had to wire the cameras to the house. One is wired in the front and one in back of the house.

I heard you can but you might have to do everything manually. I'm not on this though. You could also try a camera store to see if they can give you a better answer.

I believe the answer is no. I've not figured any way. I have one camera for backing up and they are very useful. I however have another camera for watching traffic when I back up blindly on my van. I would not mind if they were not there on that camera.

To answer your question. You can run each unit individually, seperate from the others. You just have to switch back to that unit's program I order to change anything with speed or lighting.

No they are powered camera's - you will have to have outside plugs (either existing or installed) - I had put 4 outlets where I knew I wanted to put the camera's prior to their arrival. Indoor would have been easier of course - but I wanted mine for outdoor monitoring of the 4 exits/entrances to my residence. That is something that you will have to either do yourself (for outside) - or pay an electrician to have outdoor GFI plugs put in.

Yes you set them up individually but can use various software to view all. If you are using Android phone use it cam viewer

Yes, the app will let you view one camera at a time. not both at the same time.

You can do that ! You will need 3 units total. One for the camera as a transmitter and two as receivers. You can do what I did and order 2 sets of 2 giving you four. The three that you need and one backup !Good luck with your off camera flash !Alan

Yes, you can. There is a toggle mode where it stays on one camera for 5 or 10 seconds and then switches to the other. It's nice that it's automatic!
