Is this system wireless? And by that I mean, if I have it stationed (The DVR) in my room, will I need to have wires stringing out throughout my house?

No it is not wireless, yes you will need excess wires to stem from the DVR to the actual cameras, depending on how far away from the DVR, they are positioned .

Yes. The wires run from the camera to their connecting port pin the backside of the dvr. You will also need a vga cable to connect to a monitor which isn't included

No it is not wireless. But it works really well. Not so easy to hook up to internet though. But wires to dvr, yes.

I use Ethernet over power for my DVR and it's fine. It's the only way I had to get internet in the room with wire, so I have a switch controlling the Sonos, blu ray, and the DVR.

Nothing in this model is wireless. If you want to view your cameras online you have to plug it in. My reciever is installed in a closet, the router is on other side of room, just used a longer cord.

Do not need software this is a camera - your DVR has the software in it - just go to the ip address and login using the user name and password you set in the set up of the unit. It WILL NOT WORK in your home network!!!! You must go to an outside internet source or you must use the ip address of the unit. I had to use No-IP.org because I do not get a static ip from my DNS provider.

No. the system is hard wired. You have to run the wires through your home or office.

My contractor had to run the wires from outside my house and along my vestibule walls to get in the house to hide the wires. You will definitely need the 50ft of wiring. I did not hook it up to my locks. I am still uncomfortable with that technology in my home.

I agree with Mr. Holley's and Ms. Hines' answers. I ran my wires about 200' to two cameras - both connected (with two others) to the same DVR.

no the cameras that come with this system are NOT wireless and DVR does not have option to add wireless...You will need a separate wireless receiver to plug in the DVR for a wireless camera to work

Not unless the DVR is wifi capable. So it must be wired direct to a router.

it uses none. It is wifi wireless. Your DVR would have to support wifi for the camera to be added, but that is really not the point of this camera. It actually is a webserver on its own.

Based on my experience, yes the system works off wireless if you want to monitor the video locally (ie, the monitor and the cameras are on the same LAN). However, if you want to view the video remotely, you need to plug the monitor into the router.

This unit is not wireless. It comes with a bit over 19 feet of RCA shielded video feed cable and 5 feet of 12 volt DC wire. There is a wireless module available for it (available on Amazon), however. http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-TT-WM01-Wireless-Operating-Transmitter/dp/B00DOQAGO2/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1398720103&sr=8-12&keywords=taotronics+wireless

dun be disheartened that it is wired. For wireless cameras, you will still need power wires for their continual power supply or each cam. I doubt you wanna reply on rechargeable battery packs for each cam?Installation with wire rising up from wall plug, may turn out uglier than this 2(video+power)-in-1 cable system, that usually runs from the DVR set area, and ALONGSIDE the ceiling edges, or HIDDEN above the false/board ceiling. This is a nice set with versatile settings and customisation. My 3rd Zmodo set.

the camera just has a power cable that needs to be plugged it. the receiver unit has a power cable and bnc/rca out. you can plug it into a vcr, dvd-r, tv, etc. if possible i would go with wired. my camera is 26 feet away and the signal is clear but cuts out every now and then. if wireless is a necessity it does get the job done

The dvr you choose must have the ability to record sound. The unit is wired and coax cabling must be routed to your DVR. If this answer doesn't help you entirely; just ask another question & you shall get more help ASAP...take care

Hi Jennifer, This is not a wireless camera system. It still need wires to let the whole system work. If you want to do remote view, you need to set up the DDNS. Will that answer your questions? Do you have any other questions? Thank you, and have a nice day : ) Guardian Electronic Service

Yes, the wire is required for communication between the two stations. There are wireless models that may work for your situation. I used a wired model to save $$ and my setup was simple, between 2 rooms.
