You can hook 2 cameras but I don't think there is an easy way to switch. No buttons easily accessible. I only use one camera but am sure 1 probably has priority over the other.

Yes you can add 4(four) more cameras to a eight channel system. Also you can connect the video out from one DVR to camera input and add more channel.

Yes it will display 8 cameras but each is very small. The DVR is what tells this screen how many to display. But u can make it what u want in the settings. All depends on what unit (DVR) you purchase. You can get purchase a TV for about 30 Bucks or so more with RCA jacks and have much more screen

Not on this unit as it is only a 4 channel, meaning it can only handle 4 cameras.

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.

I have only used the DVR that came with the system. The system that I purchased came with five cameras and a DVR that can accommodate up to nine cameras. I needed two additional cameras so I purchased them separately.

I only have one camera so I don't know, but I did not see anything in the set up that would allow more than one!

The camera can be used with up to 4 cameras. There are useful youtube videos which help in getting the additional cameras to communicate with the main base.

On the back of the receiver there are four switches. If you have two cameras two of those switches are on while the other two are off. If you want to add up to four cameras, just flip the other two switches on.

When configured for viewing, each camera acts individually, so there really is no limit, other than what your network can handle. If you are going to use the free D-View Cam software to record video, I believe the limit is 32 cameras per D-View instance.

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. 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.

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

This DVR can have up to 8 cameras hooked up to it and doesnt need adapter for it , at least my set up didnt need any adapter. It has 2 four-way hook ups that came with the QS558-852 8 channel system.
