How does data security work with this? Signal will be sent out of house over coax if I am not mistaken.

There is no encryption with this that I have seen. There is a chance for the signal to leak outside. I use a Moca filter to filter out the signal for exactly that reason, as well as prevent your neighbor's signal from causing interference. Highly recommend you get one.

Note that if you use it with a fiber provider (e.g., FiOS) then this is not an issue since there is no RF leakage to the street in any case (the outside signal terminates at the telco's ONT; between the ONT and the telco's headend there is a completely different type of signal - optical based or short haul VDSL).

Sorry, but this switch is part of your home network. As long as your router is secured properly it is as secure as your remaining home network.

Yes. That may not be exactly what you're looking for, though - if the receiver and PC are too close to each other, then they might both get the signal, and carry out conflicting or duplicate commands.

I bought the home unit and two others and have no problems. Depending on your house wiring, etc, quality of your signal into your home. Using Comcast as example, 5 at most, depending if anything else in on your network.

I would advise you plug this in somewhere that is securely inaccessible, either have it directly feeding inside your home or some kind of box by the camera with all wiring covered and out of reach, don't want someone walking by out of sight of your camera, pulling the plug or snipping the cable and disabling your security.

I can receive a signal in my house. There's no connection I can see for an external antenna.

If signal is received at window then this unit will work. But cannot creat a signal if it is not their!!!

It looks like you are getting conflicting answers to your question. I guess the real answer is "It depends". If you just are monitoring the cameras at home then the answer is no. A wirelss LAN in your home will do the trick. If you want to monitor the cameras when away from home, then the internet is required, unless you have a very long cable. :)

To be honest, I haven't tried it yet since I am always busy with other stuff. You need video capture software on your computer and a connecting USB cable, but there should be no reason why there would be a problem as long as the signal gets through. Hope to get around to it one of these days!

You are correct. The exception is if your router has an HPNA coax connection. Many ATT Uverse modem/routers have this built in.

Power line networking can be difficult. Do not plug the units into any power strips with surge protectors or into any UPS. The spike and noise filters on those devices will attenuate the transmission signal. Secondly it is better if both units are on the same electrical phase wiring in your home.

If you had a plugged in device in the garage it would bridge the signal to the rest of the house. You only need to be close enough to the next device on your network. So maybe you put a plug in light somewhere or appliance link or something that is wired in. The wired part will use signal over powerline to get the message to other devices in the house.

I ran coax cable from the antennae mount to the house, some 50 feet away, and split the cable at the house. The coax runs to two different HD tvs at opposite ends of the house. The picture is great on both TVs. I don't know for sure how two more tvs would affect the signal but my guess would be that it would be fine.

I have a 50' cable splitting my sattelite signal from downstairs to upstairs, I havn't noticed any problems with the signal..

Screw in place between the inbound dish or cable lead and your gone splitter or modem. Closer to the inbound cable source better chance it can catch a surge before it hits something

I bought this to be able to get an internet signal. in theory that is what this is for, you can split the signal between two receivers in your home a Dvr and a regular receiver.

I don't know answer to your question because I'm using it with my cox home security system

Yes I am. When I turn off the wireless security, the TV will pick up the network. But I use my laptop and don't want a non-secure wi-fi network.
