It can be difficult if you don't know much about your network settings. I've found Hikvision is one the easier ones to set up. So come back and ask if you have questions while installing. -Victor

Depends a little on your background Johnny. If you understand basic networking, IP addresses and have perhaps installed your home router and configured the firewall for a game console this should be relatively easy. If everything I just typed seems foreign to you this will probably be a pain. In the later case I suggest a home unit from someone like DLink, Netgear, FosCam etc. This camera is better if you are trying to setup a camera network.Amongst other IP Cameras of similar functionality I though the network setup for the Hikvision was straight forward and understandable.

To get up to speed (i have some network experience setting up my home lan) I purchased the Dlink 931 here for a little over $30. Made it work with my synology NAS. Had it email me screen shots and videos. Used an android app(ip web cam) to turn my tablet into a wireless ip cmaera and made it work with my NAS and tablet. Anyways there are inexpensive ways to get up to speed and get the experience to setup your own security system. At least you will discover if its within your ability or worth the time required. Good luck.

Here is probably what you want to do.1) Configure your router's DHCP server to assign a specific IP address for the camera's MAC address. (There should be a label on the camera with a MAC address printed). 2) Connect the camera to your router using a CAT5/6 cable so it would get a IP address assigned via DHCP.3) Open a web browser and connect to camera at the IP address assigned.4) Go to the Wireless setup screen, do Site Survey and pick the wireless network you want to connect to and enter the required WPA2 password.Once you confirmed the WiFi connection is working, you can unplug the CAT5/6 cable.

No. This is not an IP camera. it runs down CAT5 but only works with specific Samdung DVR's. Doesnt have an interface to the camera.

The software is just some basic IP WEBCAM Config software. Its straightforward and simple to use. The camera itself will work just fine with any IP Camera software. Its pretty basic and works like a charm.

Yes, absolutely! Here is what I did. (NOTE: I updated the firmware to yoics, but I understand this does not matter.) Set up your IP Video 9100a so that it is using a port other than 80...8135, or anything like that. For internal access (within your own network): note the IP address of your IP Video 9100A. Open the IP Cam Viewer App Select "Manage Cameras" Select + for a new camera, or select the failed attempt at adding a camera and then click the edit icon. Make=AVIOSYS Model=AVIOSYS 9000/9100 Series HOST/Ip=&lt;your IP you noted earlier&gt; HTTP PORT=8135 or whatever you set. Enter your user and password you have set up for the unit. (I think if you did not set one up, just put something here) Click on the test button. If it works, then press Save. For access outside of your network: Go to your router, and configure the firewall (applications, Pinholes, or DMZ settings) depends on the router..use Google for info. you want the firewall to let the port you configured on the IP Video be directed to the IP address of the IP Video. Now, you need a Dynamic DNS configuration for your site...(Google dynamic DNS) You can test your dynDNS settings by using your browser (Laptop, not the android) to go to http://YOUR.DYNAMIC.ADDRESS:8135 (YOUR.DYNAMIC.ADDRESS is whatever you set it up as..."bill.isa-geek.org" or whatever. 8135 is the port you set up in the IP Video and in your router.) Once you have verified that you DynDNS works, and that your port forwarding works... Go back to the IP CAM VIEWER app and select the camera you set up for internal access and edit it. change the HOST/IP to YOUR.DYNAMIC.ADDRESS and leave the port the same. If you have four cameras attached to the IP Video 9100A, then you will see a single camera view that will switch to each camera every 5 seconds or so. Sorry, I have not found a way to view each separately. There should be a way with yoics, but there is not a whole lot of support. hope this helped... Rick

You need to learn about port forwarding. On your router, you need to go to it's web sight and open up certain ports and then set up your IP camera to use that port. It took me awhile to learn but look up some articles on port forwarding. Or go to the routers manufacture web sight. It should show you how to use port forwarding , It's the only way to see your camera from the internet anywhere. I look at my cameras with my Iphone. I't looks easy now , but took awhile to set it up right .

No as far as I know, rca connectors cabling only , no IP cameras management software included

You need an ethernet (power over ethernet). I had one spot prewired. The way the cam is detected is via your power outlet.

If you bought a Linksys router than call Linksys help, they are obligated to get up and running, even if you bought another brand they should do the same. There are so many setting in the camera and router that the ordinary guy can not figure it out. Maybe type in the IP address of the router, then use admin for the sign for the router, this should get to the pages that you can change settings, good luck. I have two of these cameras. They are the worse ones made. Good luck, Steve

The software is already installed on the camera. You access it via the embedded web server. Attach it to your network and connect to the IP Address.

If you want a camera that you plug in and it works, I would say this is not it. The setup is straightforward and there are folks who have posted instructions but at a minimum, you would need to know how to: (1) plug in an ethernet cable between the camera and your router; (2) identify the IP address of your camera using the MAC address on the bottom of the camera and your router's configuration page showing the IP address; (3) access that ip address via your webbrowser. After that, it's just following the menus and configuration options. If this sounds reasonable, you'll be good to go. If it sounds foreign, this is probably not the one for you.

Talk to your service provider regarding Internet ip if real and options for port blocked or not. (Canyouseeme.org) open port check tool. The way it's set up is continuing recording with pictures taking images when motion occurs. My opinion keep as originally set up works out fine. Image quality good for amount spent also lighting use yellow led or yellow type bulbs not white best for night vision image quality.

I also bought this and there was no install software. I ran the IP address listed and nothing comes up. Please help!!

The way I use this is 1. set up dyndns account, 2. setup dyndns on your router, 3. port forward the camera's ip(default camera port 7777), and then I can login from any computer. If you use the app/software it comes with, it appears to work as well(haven't tested it outside the house yet.) I did the dns way because I like being able to access my home network for lights/security/cameras/heat/computer files etc.

If you are asking about IPv6, then I think the answer is no. I didn't see any IPv6 configuration information in the setup process. I could be wrong, but I am strongly inclined to assume that the cameras and the dvr are both IPv4 only.

Each Camera has its own unique IP Address (or web URL if you set it up through NoIp.com) you just open up a new web browser page or Tab for each camera you wish to view. I can have all four of mine easily on one screen at the same time

They say you can. There are tutorials on it. I haven't done it yet as it requires pointing your ip to a service like no ip or another name service for ips. If you do a search in forums, it's the same as setting up a security camera access point or Remote Desktop service.
