By what other names does this camera function? I want to set it up on a Synology Surveillance Station, but I need a camera type. Anyone?

Will not work with any other software other than what comes with the camera..

Which NAS? If a Synology, you can use the built-in Surveillance Station software for recording. Beyond recording software, all you need are cat6 cables.

Would this have to be dedicated to the cameras? Or will it act as a NAS for data also?

yes, but you will need software to do this. I have a synology nas that has a free application called surveillance station that you can connect the camera to and record. im sure there are several other applications that can do the same.

Dear Wolfgang,Please check and verify if the camera you are using is Analog camera. You can use it for night owl systems if the cameras are analog cameras. Thank you!

I didn't know the answer but researched the question and found this. You can download software for this camera here http://downloadsneto.com/d/. Don't know if it'll help, but if I were to lose my setup cd, I'd try it.

Amazon sent your question to me, but only they can tell you what model they're selling. I would recommend you buy something else. These do not operate well at all, miss videos, forward less than 1/2 of the photos to the remote and you can't get either phone or email support from them.l They seem to have a very arrogant attitude toward their customers. An indication of the poor reception of their cameras might be that this year they are up to a Tiny - W3, yup, they've gone all the way through several poorly functioning configurations already. Do yourself a favor and buy something else. I've tried over 12 different brands and models and these are some of the worse ones. I used 19 cameras this past season from June through currently, these never functioned properly from day 1. The only one that was worse performing was the Leupold RCX-2.

I'm not sure about that as I haven't used Synology. If Synology supports the standard PoE (802.3af protocol) and ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface) protocols, most probably, it'll work. It has better video quality and its IR reaches more distance than my WiFi DB Power IP Camera. I knew that WiFi cameras are not that good yet as compared to wired, PoE or non-PoE, but I don't have a way to run a cable from my router to the front of the garage so I used WiFi camera. If you could run a cable, don't use WiFi camera.

Mel, There is no "base" with these cameras, meaning that the recording logic is built into the camera. Just add a 32GB microSDHC memory card to each camera, and each camera is able to operate independently, recording video onto the memory card inserted into the camera. The problem with this arrangement is that it is very time consuming to review the video recorded by the cameras. A solution is to also buy an inexpensive Synology NAS unit, and when each camera records a video, instruct the camera to send the video to the Synology NAS using FTP. Note that you could install a free FTP server program on your PC, but getting that setup and working correctly on Windows 7/8 with firewalls and User Access (Account) Control enabled is challenging. I have quite a few of the TriVision cameras set up for use in combination with one of several Synology NAS units (I have used DiskStation DS212+, DS214+, DS113j, DS412+, and DS415+ in combination with the TriVision cameras). For four internal NC-239WF cameras an inexpensive one bay "j" model Synology is likely sufficient (DS114j or DS115j - whichever is an actual model). If you plan to later add outdoor 1080P cameras (such as the NC-336PW) I recommend that you buy at least a 2 bay Synology that is a "+" model so that the NAS is able to keep up with weather related false alarms (snow, fog, heavy rain). Make certain that you have a good wireless N access point (or router). With a good wireless access point this camera will connect at a distance of about 50 feet with a clear line of sight. With a high powered wireless access point 180 feet is possible.

That's not what this product is made for. Y-Cam has other similar (and cheaper) cameras that offer that. The cube HD series is quiet nice and offers a much better image quality that thi HomeMonitor camera.

I made this mistake too, this is a camera to be used with a CCTV which means you already have a monitor to be seen on, it's not a stand alone camera, as I think you are looking for. I didn't read the specifications properly and now I have to send it back and I ordered a WiFi / IP Camera, which can be easily set up through the computer or mobile device, you do need a current network to set it up (In case you are thinking of using it for the summer cabin or something, just an example) With IP / WiFi surveillance cameras you can set up to be recorded whether its video or pictures every period of time, although you need a computer and it has to be left on to record. I bought a Foscam FI8910W and I'm happy with it, I've playing around with it and it would do for the purpose I wanted it for, check every now and then how things are running at a work place. Hope this helps.

Can this camera be used standalone, or must it be part of a security system? I am looking for a camera to watch two pieces of property (two cameras) and alert me via text/email, so I can decide whether to call police or not. Both locations have access to router

I don't use the built-in options of the camera for that purpose.I have the Blue Iris software running which handles the alerting for my cameras. That actually works really good and fast.

Chris. I have lots of experience with all kinds of ccd and ip cameras. This camera gave me fits. At one point I finally got video from it; however , it stopped shortly after. Might save yourself some trouble and go ahead and return it. I did. Hope this helps. William
