I have a system with wired cameras. Can I still use this wireless camera with my current system?

If they are Ethernet then technically yes. But don't expect this camera to last long or have a decent picture. It's from China so don't expect any warranty or support.

No it is not wireless, yes you will need excess wires to stem from the DVR to the actual cameras, depending on how far away from the DVR, they are positioned .

No reason you can't as long as the wireless reciever for the camera is connected

No. Each camera also needs to be powered by an electrical outlet. "Wireless" means that no wires are needed between the cameras and the receiver.

If you can use a wired system. You should. I had to add power in my soffit of house to install cameras, I am an electrician so not to hard but for the common man may be a challenge.

Power and switch are still wired. What is wireless is how to take camera feed to the monitor.

I think it can be con neglected to an existing wired system. Not sure about wireless. Do not buy this model. Very buggy. If you buy, get newer version

Hi, no we do not have any wireless systems (cameras, etc) in our system. After speaking with a couple of different CCTV companies, they do not suggest wireless if you have an option. Just like internet, wired connections are always better/more stable than wireless.

They are wireless in the sense that you don't need an ethernet wire connected to a base unit (like a DVR). However, the cameras still require electricity and must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

Yes, but too expensive. After trying wireless systems for a year and getting tired of restting them and restarting them and having them die. I went ahead and put in wired camera system and have had no problems ever since. Better quality viewing and no downtime.

This is NOT a wireless unit! Each camera is wired to a special unit inside the house. If you want wireless this is NOT the item for you!

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.

I bought it but never used it. You should be able to use it, most of the camera wiring are the same.

The camera that come with it are wired but you can buy camera's that are wireless and hook them up to the DVR

I was never able to get the camera to work on the wireless. So, no. In my experience, you are better off purchasing a different camera (brand).

The receiver and any cameras that are paired with the receiver need electrical power. The wireless feature only applies to the signal coming from any camera to the receiver. There is no physical connection between any camera and the receiver.
