Does the DVR have auxiliary channels or can the camera channels be used for contact alarms?

The software in the DVR has an alarm setting. I don't use it so I cannot say anything. I know as far as the aux channels, I have 8, but one of them I use for audio until my 12v power supply that I ordered comes in. I don't know what kind of alarm you got, or how its configured to work, so I can't tell you. However, besides the 8 channels for the cameras, there are 4 RCA female receptors for "audio in", I guess for mics, but I don't know about alarms. Hope this gives you some kind of idea. If it doesn't, call ZMODO support, and I'm sure they will help you. They have good support people there. So to give you 1 more clear picture as to what you got to work with in back of the dvr, you got all of these: 8 BNC ports for your cameras(female), 2 BNC ports, (video out, audio out" (female), 4 RCA ports, "Ain", now I don't know I got to look, if thats audio or aux, ok it is "audio in", I just checked (all female). 1 vga output for monitor or whatever video you use that has a 15-pin din connector ((female), 1 rj-45 jack (female), 2 USB ports, and your 12v power supply for the DVR. I hope this helps.

i'm not sure mine has 8 channels for cameras and it has an alarm but not sure what you mean about contact alarm. if you mean like if someone tries to open a window then no it has no alarm for that just if the camera is triggered on motion detection an alarm goes off if you have it set for alarm too..

Unfortunately, no. DVRs like that only accept analog video cameras, and these Aircams are entirely digital (most IP cameras are).These require much more technical know-how to install. Also, note that these cameras do not have night vision, so they may not be suitable for your purposes anyway.

You need a dvr with Internet access to connect the camera to most dvr now have that feature. If you want just a camera you need to install an IP CAMERA.

I'm only using it as a camera connected to DVR. I have not used any other features that may be on the camera. I am unaware that it has motion detection built in. Regards

You can connect the camera directly to tv's av input or to dvr. Mine is just connected to tv.

The camera has a microphone. That would be up to your DVR to set up an alert when it picks up voice.

No motion detection on the camera itself. Most dvrs have motion detection recording though.

This camera only has the standard video and power connectors. It needs to be connected to a DVR and power supply.

It's intended to be connected to a dvr via coax or similar with BNC connectors

Each cam has a power plug that connects to a single cable to the DVR via a split cable adapter.. Very simple setup. Great system

You can choose either option. I am currently doing all video, time lapse, all channels. I just have it e-mail me when it detects motion (some channels I have motion detection scheduled only for certain times and certain areas). It's pretty versatile.

Any dvr is swappable with another dvr. The app for defender system only let's you see one camera at a time. Really depends on your needs.

The camera is powered by a cord with a 110volt plug. There has to be a duplex receptacle near the camera. The camera CAN be triggered my motion detect, but that has more to do with your DVR. It will work through a window during the day time, but the night vision just gets a white shine through glass.

Yes, it has a capacity of 16 channels (cameras) total, but this package includes only 8 cameras. Nice feature if you want to expand without having to purchase another DVR. this was an excellent purchase

I have this camera set for motion detecting, but I believe that is a DVR setting. Camera works great set up this way. Excellent quality. The poset supply that comes with it goes direcly to an outlet. I purchased a separate cable that was 100'; it was a combo.cable that went to DVR and one to the outlet. Hope this helps
