If I own several cameras, do I have to have a data plan for each camera?

You do not have to have a data plan unless you want the photos emailed to you. However, you do have to have a activated SIM card for each camera. They usually run about $10 a month, but you would have to have one for each camera.

You don't have to have a data plan unless you do videos. But you do have to have a plan for each camera.

if you wanted to, you can hook only one camera. each camera works on a separate cannel. doesn't affect the system. you don't have any problem.

Yes, there are no issues with installing additional cameras. Your network bandwidth would be the determining factor.

No. Each camera requires a dedicated cable from the POE switch to the camera.

One thing to note is that both devices have to be logged into the same account. You can't have two people access the same camera if they are logged into different accounts.

No. A 4 camera system has only 4 connectors, thus you cannot add more cameras.

it could be your only camera but you still need the base station which can up to 5 camera's associated with it

No, if: 1. You are using 9 or less cameras on the same network. These cameras support SD card recording, and the browser plugin and mobile app allow simultaneous viewing and management of up to 9 cameras. 2. You are using more than 9 cameras, but don't need to centrally view and manage all of them at once. Each camera can also simultaneously record to a designated computer on their local network, in addition to SD card recording. Yes, if: You want to centrally view and/or manage more than 9 cameras on the same network, or view/manage cameras that are on separate networks.

No, one adapter will do it. So, if you buy one complete system, that comes with an adapter, and add-on cameras after that, you'll be fine.

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!

Yes. I have three throughout my house and can view all three on one account. I just click on which camera I want to view in full screen mode or I can see all three at once in miniature/wallet size mode.

I think that you have several choices when you first set the camera up. I no longer have the camera so I can't check for sure.

I don't think this unit cycles between cameras. You have to manually select which camera you want to view.

Yes! I have done this and even purchased a different brand of cameras I believe it handles up to 8 cameras.

You can connect as many as you want to your wireless router or they can also be connect via ether net cable as well. If you create a My DLink account you can associate the cameras with the account. On the My DLink website you can view the associated cameras one at a time. You can not view all of them at once unless there is a way that I am not aware of. There is also a My DLink app for the IPhone and Android which allows you to connect to any camera associated with your account one at a time.

I have an app on my iphone that views all 6 cameras simultaneously.. This is also web based, so that means you're able to view the cameras using any browser.

as others said, no. I have six cameras with one adapter.The cameras also work off POE, so if you mount the cameras next to an Ethernet outlet, you don't need any adapters.
