A DVR is excluded in this surveillance system. Does it mean we have to buy a DVR separately? Or is a DVR not needed.

it means it isn't included, yes you need to buy one separately, and I would recommend a Q-see dvd.

You have to buy the DVR separately. These cameras are for replacing your existing old cameras only. You need a DVR and perhaps buying a whole package which includes a DVR and several cameras will be cheaper.

Yes, this is just a camera pack, it's confusing that they called it "Surveillance System" but these are just the cameras, the power supply and the cables to add them to a DVR that you may have or that you are buying with only a few cameras and you wan to add more cameras.

I assume you're asking, "I don't need ...". That's correct. The camera/clock is self contained, needing nothing but A/C power. You will, however, find it better to view the captured videos on a computer. Better, not necessary. By the way, the video quality is much better than I expected. Much better. I wish it had WiFi, but it doesn't. The setup is, in my opinion, overly complex, but it does give you a lot of control. Also, motion detect runs for a fixed 5 minutes after it comes on. That's too long in my opinion. This produces a lot of unwanted video to scan thru.

Motion recording is up to the DVR used. The camera doesn't have anything to do with it. So, the answer is no!

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

Hello Abraham, the Camera really needs to be connected to its own DVR, the software that comes with the equipment, only works by.... the software connects to the DVR and back and forth. Hope this helps.

Yes and no. It doesn't have a separate motion detector however the dvr will process a change in the image it sends as "motion".

It doesn't have a dvr. But it has blueray/dvd player. You will need HDMI cables

In order to use this camera you need a DVR. The surveillance software that comes with the DVR usually works with PC or MAC always depends in the type of DVR you have.

No you don't need a receiver or DVR, but you do need a computer with a web browser and a home wifi network to connect it to. It is not too easy to hack because it does include a built in password that you set.

when I purchased this item, I contacted the shipper, and asked if there were a particular manual for my specific security video recording equipment. I was having problems setting up my security recorder up, because I did not see my particular DVR. I did not ask if there was an APP.

From what I remember(i installed this camera several months ago), everything is included(mounting brackets/s, screws) EXCEPT an external housing unit(if you are installing this camera outside). Otherwise, if you are installing this camera inside, everything is included that is needed to install this camera and get it up and running for inside use. Other than the dvr and cables, obviously.Just follow the instructions, and you should be just fine. Hope this helps.

Sorry I don't know if it will connect with a dvr. Mine are connected via ADT pulse system, everything is then recorded on my laptop & iPhone. I'm not using a dvr with my system. You could call ADT directly and ask them. If you don't have ADT pulse system now you should consider upgrading to PULSE, I love it I can turn my lights on & off from my phone, arm or disarm alarm system from my phone & watch & record my home from my phone or laptop.

This product came to me as the DVR only, no cameras. It was as I anticipated, as I was just purchasing a replacement DVR and using my existing cameras.

These cameras are just an add on to a dvr system. They can not be used stand alone. I had this hooked up to my lorex dvr system. But to be honest this camera is junk.

I just bought a new Swann system to replace my uniden system and it's much better...comes with Dvr and 8 cameras...no need for the computer

It's not the DVR, it's your cameras. You need to get cameras with better night vision.
