Can this camera be controlled through the Software or Web portal on the Swann DVR?

im not sure im new at this computer stuff but I was told I can control the camera from a phone or laptop from any where in the country but you need a password from your internet provider to access your dvr providing your dvr is hooked up to the internet I have not tried it yet but lookin forward to it I hope this the answer you were lookin for

My unit has a 500GB hard drive already installed, the cameras write to the internal DVR and you can log in to your Swann DVR through the internet or your smart phone (need a live internet connection to plug into the system) to watch live time or play back, you can also watch live or play back to a local tv. hope this helps.

Sorry, I have no idea.although I am confident it could be controlled by computer, I purchased a controller for the four cameras I purchased. B&H; Photo Video sells a nice controller. You know, to use the output with a computer you also need a capture card or interface capable of a composite input.

I don't see why not. It's really plug and play so you don't really need a computer if you want to view and control the unit from the NVR only. But if you want remote viewing via the Internet, you just need any computer to change settings on the router.

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.

Yes I can , buy lately have come many better remote video cameras out . Try any 1.3 MegaPixel Network Camera with a NVR.

Yes, the best way is to connect via ether wire first and find the route number through your router 192.168.1.1 then login to the camera. The software is already burned onto the camera's cpu and then go into that admin and adjust the settings.

Its the same as the swann camera from Costco. I think lorex rebrands dahua. I'm not 100% on that tho. If the DVR is onvif compatible it "should" work. Goto networkcameracritic.com and look for "Costco"

The software seems to want it plugged into the router at first while you set it up, after it is setup though it can be used as a completely wireless cam (Except for the power cord of course.)

No, software is not inclued with this camera. You suppose to plug into your drv unit.

I am unable to answer with certainty because my DVR is also Swann. However it appears that all or most cameras use the same type of wires. This suggests that the answer is yes. The resolution lines of the camera should at least equal that of your dvr though if you want your usual quality.

Yes, the software can and needs to be set for motion to trigger recording. You can adjust area on the screen, plus sensitivity. Like all camera systems, a fly on the camera lens, is the same as an elephant in the driveway. They both trigger the system.

Don't know about that but you might want to try contacting support on wansview website, also there are some utilities available for download there. http://wansview.net/tools-support.html One thing though, I was able to set it up without using the installation disc. What you want to do is first connect the camera to your router via lan cable, then in your router admin site find out the IP the camera was assigned and then access the camera using that IP. I hope this helps.

Try Netviewer. (Google it.) It worked fine for Win7 where Web Client for DVR would not.

Yes it come with a software to configure it for the first time (for example the IP address & port). Next to change any configuration or view the camera you just have to open your browser and open http with the ip address and port assigned. Hope this help!

No, there is no software in the package. You go online to the grand stream website and download the program that controls the camera. The documentation with this camera is terrible but it's not bad online.
