how many of these camera can be setup on the same router? Are there cross talk or signal drop problems with multiple cams? Can these be connected to an NVR or DVR?

I currently have 3 up and running. To my knowledge, you should be able to set up more than that but I am unsure of what the limit is, if any. I don't have any issues with signal drop issues with multiple cams set up. I do not think you can set this up to recored to a DVR. Any recordings are saved to your computers hard drive. One limitation to the recording is that your computer must be up and running for the recordings to work.

The cameras I'm using are IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet 48vDC. Not sure if this is common or not. It's what I have.

While I suspect that a wide variety of NAS/NVR would work, I used Dahua's NVR 8 channel with POE for 4 of these cameras.I added a Western Digital 4 TB Green SATA III 5400 RMP WD40EZRX hard drive and the cameras are plug and play.These cameras are fantastic and you can connect them individually to a network but with the Dahua NVR I used,plugging the camera into the poe port bypasses the individual camera setup process. The NVR also alloweda single pinhole in my internet gateway to provide viewing all of the cameras on my android phone--anywhere.

if you used them on multiple cameras with multiple units you are going to need multiple units to capture 1 per every camera. You set up a wireless network between the camera and the unit you are using laptop or tablet

try to buy the same kind ( Astak wireless ) , it seems that if you use another kind it will effect the signal , or you will have 2 cameras will work on the same channel , that is what happened to me .

I believe one CamRanger unit can connect one camera to one viewing device (iPad, iphone, etc.) at a time. If you have two CamRanger devices you can connect each to a separate camera but would then need two viewing devices to control each camera in real time but not simultaneously.

On a limited budget, the Netgear ProSafe series does just fine. My project uses ones and I found that when using it primarily as a camera switch (feeding to a custom-build PC for recording and management) I didn't need to adjust the settings any to get excellent results from 16 cameras. You won't be able to touch any Cisco switch for the price of a good Netgear unit, and with so few cameras, I would just make sure you have a managed switch and a full duplex on all channels. If necessary, turn off unused ports to increase throughput resource to the ones in use.

Yes. Setup (including adding the extra camera to the system and getting synced to the app) was easy. I did not have the problem that another responder reported; my system works without being hard wired into the router. The app is a bit flaky, but it does allow you to toggle between cameras.

no this is a pass-through so you can run one cat 5 cable for 4 cameras and you will need to of the converters on each end. I have 4 cameras connected but two ports work fine and the other two have issues I wiggle the cables and it works again. its a nice option when you need to put your dvr in a remote location with limited access. Hope this helps ..

I purchased a 4 camera 8 channel unit, then added 4 cameras no problem records all 4. haven't tested it with on-line internet viewing ability in any form.

Larry, Each POE IP camera requires a dedicated Ethernet 5/6 cable. Can't split pairs... Good luck

It depends on the configuration of your surveilance controller. I use a Revo DVR controller and I have 4 cameras plugged into the monitor.

Hello I have a 4 Channel system POE as of now. I bought two of the wireless cameras as additional after receiving information from Zmodo that they will integrate with My NVR. I was misinformed. The Cameras worked great with the Zsight app however they cannot communicate with the NVR and record since it is channel specific and I was using all 4 channels. You can only record the eight channels you have. If however you have channels available they may work ok. Hope this helps.

These cameras aren't wireless capable, however, if you hook up the DVR to your local network via a cat5/ethernet cable, than you should be able to access the cameras wirelessly if you have a wireless router.

It sounds like you want to know if you can connect the cameras and the NVR to the same switch. Probably can if only wants to access the cameras on the local network, but to be able to access them from a remote location you would need to connect them to a router. www.AffordableHomeElectronics.com

There's a lot of traffic when streaming four video feeds to the DNR-202L, which can slow down the rest of your network traffic. I'd read this can be an issue, so when I set up my system I purchased a separate router dedicated to the cameras and DNR-202L. That router is currently set up as a "switch" with wireless access point, so that the cameras and DNR-202L are technically still on the same network as the rest of my devices and are easily accessible, but all of their traffic is sequestered to their own router unless I'm actually viewing the stream. This is done using a wired LAN port to LAN port connection between the routers, with DHCP disabled on the camera router so that the main router handles it. The router I purchased was an inexpensive DIR-605L, but I only have two DCS-932L cameras which are not HD. I'm not sure this would be sufficient for a system with more cameras. Edit: I see in another comment that you have a dedicated router for the cameras. Is the router and wifi slowing down strictly on the camera router, or do you have slowdown of other network resources?

No there is one for network operation. It has 16 analog BNC camera connections. Sounds like you are looking for a NVR not a DVR. The NVR is used for IP cameras, they are connected through an RJ-45 and CAT5 or Cat 6 cable
