If i connect the uplink to my router, does that mean I can view each camera on my smart TV/computer/DVR?

YES! Exactly what I do. I also connect to a system running Blue Iris so I can view all through the BI interface OR just http to each individual camera

Sort of yes. The cameras will be available on your LAN. You have to add them to your DVD or forward them through the internet if you want to view them on a smartphone or computer via WAN. You could also view them over the LAN as well I suppose. It would be a good idea to assign a LAN address for the cameras on your router.

This is nothing but a network switch which will provide power to your IP cameras. If you hook it to your router with the Uplink then you can log into your cameras to view with any networked device. You will need some kind of IP Camera software and server to record your video too. If you want to just view live video on one camera at a time, then that would be a yes answer to your question.

By connecting the up link to your router your camera's will be available to anything on your LAN

if you refer to attaching cameras to dvr, You can make an adaptation, so you won´t escape from having electrical outlets in each camera location, and having 4 transceivers also with a bunch of cables on their way. the cost is so high for what you want, is better to search for IP based wireless cameras with NVR and compare. in other hand if you refer to network connection for remote viewing, you can do what Mr Roubach commented on previous post, with a router or with Access point (with bridge or client features enabled) attached to dvr on Ethernet port.

You can connect as many as you want to your wireless router or they can also be connect via ether net cable as well. If you create a My DLink account you can associate the cameras with the account. On the My DLink website you can view the associated cameras one at a time. You can not view all of them at once unless there is a way that I am not aware of. There is also a My DLink app for the IPhone and Android which allows you to connect to any camera associated with your account one at a time.

Yes, however whether you can access / view that information is dependent on the software you utilize with this item. This is just the chipset / radio that is required for the protocol.

Yes. I have them on the same Ethernet hub. I have another machine which I use periodically to view over WiFi, and it works decently, but I'm glad to have my main WMC machine / DVR talking right to it over wired connection. I'm on Comcast and they recently eliminated their unencrypted digital & analog signals, so I had to either get a Comcast set top box, or a CableCard enabled device like this one.

Yes it is.... As long you have a smart phone such as an iPhone or a connection to the Internet then you can watch your camera anywhere in the world.... That is assuming that the DVR and related equipment will be at the same location as the camera.....

No, Cat5 wired connection is your only option to connect DVR to the router.

Yes on both accounts. The built in DynDNS client gives you a web URL you can point any browser to to view the cam. You can also directly access the video feed using IP cam apps such as "IP Cam Viewer" and "TinyCam Monitor".

That depends more on the capabilities of the DVR that the camera is hooked into rather than the camera itself. Most DVRs do have that ability though.

I did not have to forward any ports for this unit. However, I did have to open ports in my firewall, however if your router supports UPNP, enable that and it should work fine. The two ports that UPNP opened for the DVR on my system are ports: 6036 and 85. This system is fairly user-friendly, and q-see provides great support and instructions.

No. You can view them wirelessly if you have the system connected to the internet. The cameras connect to the DVR via the 65ft video cable with power wire that comes with the system. You can purchase longer or shorter cables or make your own length.

Yes, you can absolutely have the cameras be just on your local network (wifi or wired). There's are actually fewer steps required to do this this way.

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.

No it only has one Ethernet port and 16 cctv connections. For IP cameras you might want to look into an NVR

Yes, there is an antenna on the camera which you can set up to link with your wireless router at home over wi-fi. You can also use a wired connection. You have to get all the information about your home network including IP address, network SSID, and password. It is a good start to look at the instructions that come with the camera, using their software, just walk through the prompts and input the information as needed.

I have the dvr hooked to the router so I can see the images on my iPad or iPhone whether I am home or away.

No it does not, but we hooked it up to our internet WI FI router and can view all the cameras locally or using the Swann provided software (Netviewer) we can log on securely over the internet and view all activity. The customer service walked me through the steps for connection and set up. It works great!
