Can I connect my own digital camera with this? Or do I have to use the supplied dog-cam?

Depends on your camera. But most digital cameras will connects I have used it with my Logitech webcam, a Panasonic DV camcorder and a JVC camcorder. All connected without problem using both USB and Firewire connections.

Don't see why not, but you would still need some way to get power to the camera. For example, you could use the belkin F7D4555 adapter, which goes for like $15 from bensoutlet, but you would have to supply power to the adapter and the ip cam as well

You can do both at the same time. I found this freeware called "ContaCam". this is perfect for this ip cam!! but of course, you need a camera server, but if you don't want camera server, do it on dlink cloud, you can still view but just cant constantly record it (with motion detection).

Hey Jennifer, you have to run a wire to that cam. You can use a batt but I would not recommend it. The proper way is to run a cable and a power wire. I hope this helps.

Just use any program, like iBooth that uses a Camera. Just plug it into an USB port, start the program an tell it to use the alternate camera. Hope it works.

Yes, it can be connected to the webcam( not included in the package) and the popular apps from Google play is available. Thanks.

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.

Yes but you have to set it up. Some of the set-up can be complicated and you may need assistance from Foscam tech support.

It is supposed to be able to connect and view "a backup camera". Whether it will connect to that particular one, I cannot answer with certainty. I am in the "surveillance camera" business. Most Cameras of that type will have similar connections.

I'm sure you can. but his cam is not wireless. so the real question would be what are you running the cam to. if your source unit or device supports the use of android or smart phone apps then yes. other wise no! this cam was made be used for vehicles with camrea systems such as rear view and back up assistance etc. the user applications are only limited to your ability, meaning if you have the ability to make it work however you see fit than so be it if not then pay someone who knows how to do it

If you have a video digitizer (a TV card maybe?) in your confuser your system can use anything plugged into that as if it were a webcam. If the cam can't be used USB then plug it into the digitizer as a video device.

Unless the DV CAM uses some proprietary format, it should not be a problem. Can you find someone with a laptop with an SD card reader - or - take it to a printing service (UPS Store or Fedex) and ask them to read it.

Yes. This is the camera only. You'll need some means of displaying what the camera sees.

Yes but its so difficult to configurate the cams with wireless conection. 3 different specialist came to my home to configurate the cams with the wireless connection and anyone can do it. I have to put it directly to the router. You have to considerate your buy and choose other brands that is more easy to install.

Hi Melissa, I have no problems with the computer, but you should be able to connect your web cam

Yes, provided your pet can speak. Seriously, yes can speak to the app and will transmit it to the camera.
