There´s an Airvision NVR controller you can get for $325 (http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-AIRVISION-C-AirVision-Controller/dp/B00EN0HWE0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1409153141&s;r=8-1&keywords;=ubiquiti+nvr), however I have a 16 camera system in a Linux box (Ubuntu) working flawlessly some 2 years ago

The free unifi software that comes with it. Just need hardware and OS to run it on. Make sure you update the firmware.

No you will need a DVR to record. Any standard DVR with BNC input would work.

Marta: No, you wouldn't NEED a DVR to operate the system. The software allows for monitoring and/or recording via your laptop - if you want to review footage you merely play the files back on your computer. Tom

You can record without paying manually, or on motion using an std card, but I really really reccommend blue iris software which costs ~ 50. It's got a ton of features and is the way to go, especially if you plan on having more than one camera. I'm an electrician who installs these and my own shop has 9 foscams and blue Iris installed on a dedicated computer.

This camera has two outputs a composite one that will work with your current DVR and an SDI one that will require a new DVR, or an SDI to HDMI converter to view in HD

You do not need a receiver or DVR, but it is highly recommended. Blue Iris is the best, since it handles all Foscam models. You need a PC (or server) which will aggregate all of the footage for you and allow you to take control of the camera from the Blue Iris console itself. Once you manage the camera from Blue Iris, you don't need to manage it locally any longer (Blue Iris handles everything). Blue Iris is about $60. It is a one-time license. Your 2nd question regarding wireless - Like all wifi, it is only as strong as you configure it. Evildoers would have to first be on your wireless network in order to take control of the camera. Be sure to do the following on your ROUTER, in order to keep you and your family safe: 1.) Use WPA2 encryption, with a strong passphrase that is NOT in any English/Spanish/German dictionaries. Use symbols. 2.) Turn OFF WPS (Wifi Protected Setup) 3.) Turn on MAC Filtering. This is easily bypassed by hackers, but does another hurdle to the security mix. 4.) Don't use a Wifi SSID that represents your house. For example, I see many times where people put their house # in their SSID. BAD MOVE, GOOD FOR HACKERS! Use something that doesn't tie your wifi to yourself. 5.) On your Foscam CAMERA(s): Change the default username and password. That way, if someone does attach to your wifi network, they can't easily Google "Foscam default username/password" and log into your camera with ease. 6.) On your Foscam CAMERA(s): Update the camera's firmware periodically. There are exploits that come out which exploit the vulnerability on some of the ports/services that run on the camera (as with any device on the planet). Be sure to keep up-to-date on the firmware. Apologies for being thorough. Hope this helps!

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.

You can hook these cams up to a DVR for your recording and playback needs, the brand is really your preference, but to name a few there is qsee, zmodo, defender, swann, Samsung, and more.

Looks like the QS-558-852-1 provides a better recording video. That is based on the specs that say this DVR wil record about 8 frames/sec and yours might record at 30 frames/sec. 8-FPS is good enough for me. I need more channels or cameras rather than more frames/sec. REF: http://www.amazon.com/QS558-852-1-Channel-Security-Surveillance-High-Resolution/dp/B009HPBPOY

It's not the DVR, it's your cameras. You need to get cameras with better night vision.
