It's not hard to connect the camera but you need to be decent on pulling wire.. as you will depending on your hous need to run wire from the camera connection point to the recorder which most of your wire will be in attic and walls.

Depends on where you mount it and where you want coverage. I used ladders, drills, fish tape to pull thru attic and wall areas. If you are not able to climb ladders and use hand tools you need to hire someone to do the job.

Sure, the camera is easy to operate and comes with a detailed instruction manual and CD. The full auto mode and presets will get you along way, to start.

Never tried and I seriously doubt it for they got you on this one. I finally broke down and bought a different camera for it was getting way to expansive. I will miss the quick photo dock. People were so amazed when i handed them a photo 5 minutes later. Most people will have 1000's of digital pictures in a computer and never put them in a photo book. Nothing like a photo book to kick back and look at or pass along. I swear my wife has a million pics in her camera doing nothing, but technically I can't answer your question, but you may want to consider to move on to different camera.Best

I didn't need anything to connect it to my camera. I'm not expert though. I'm not sure about different models of cameras and what might be different. It came with a "coupling" to connect to my camera. I took it to Yellowstone and it worked ok for the price. I wasn't sure what to expect for it being so cheap.

My husband hooked it up and he said it was very simple. It took him about twenty minutes. I'm sorry I don't have first hand knowledge on how to hook it up.

You should be able to the USB cord that the camera came with to plug into your computer. You may need to turn on the camera after you plug it in.

It's a great little camera. You can mount it anywhere that's structurally sufficient and that you have a path to run your wires. Good luck.

Picked up card and cable at Best Buy. My recommendation... Bring the camera with you. Remember to use Lithium batteries "ONLY". Alkaline batteries only work for about 20-30 minutes... If your lucky.

it doesnt work, firmware too hard to get on to the camera for someone who isnt a computer expert.

It comes with everything you'll need to hook it up. I'd suggest downloading the manual from the website.

yes do yourself a favor and buy a few extra camera wires. i needed some longer runs and the wires that comes with the system are flimsy. its an overall great system though, and if you ever have any problems Zmodo has great customer service. one of my cameras stopped working and they sent a replacement out to me, no questions asked. hope this helps

Camera too new and no idea as to battery. I would think it is relatively simple since it is marketed for younger users.

You'll have to get a flash mount for that... out of the box is not possible...

Hey Andy, sorry you are having trouble. While I'm not sure how old you are, or your abilities... I would highly encourage you to get a book on Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects. The books are made in a decent tutorial format, and would help your style of learning. PS. this camera comes with literally nothing additional, no cable, no instructions, no nothing. There are better cameras out there for the beginner.

I believe not simple for a 6 year old. Rugged but not easy enough for a child. Get a camera that is just for kids and easy for them to hold on to.

How easy is this camera to use for a novice? I bought my husband a smaller pocket sized camera and it is very difficult to get it to focus on what YOU want it to focus on. It is always trying to be smart. I need a camera that I can set up some default settings and he can just point at shoot at moving grand children.

I think you could, having in mind it's a DIY camera. But try to look for a very similar piece to not have any problem in the future
