Do not get this system. There are so many better ones. You can only record one channel at the higher resolution. The remainder can only record at the lower resolution and frame rate. I just picked up a new Lorex system. I even say get a QSee system. This system was such a disappointment. It came programmed with the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55. Customer service was useless too.

Hi mridvolman, thank you for your interest in Defender. You can use any of the 21000 series cameras with this DVR.

I have not found an app to put on my PC. I've had this camera for over 2 years and still can't find a PC app for it, only the smartphone app...if you find a PC app let me know. It's the easiest camera to setup with limited options BUT you trade options for easy setup. I have other cameras for more sophisticated stuff but this one is the best for simple setup and decent enough observation for simple stuff...pick your poison, all depends on what you're trying to watch. Hopefully they'll come up with a desktop app.

Hi Robert, I think you can get the camera only or buy the combo with flash included. I get camera and flash unit and works fine ;-)

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

Jim, not sure... I never got the camera installed.. one camera was DOA and the system would not engage. I returned the system the next day.. sorry I would not be more helpful. good luck. Danny~

All you do is just plug it in and find in the system this camera and mark it to work as a camera and a microphone. It is very simple, no other stuff is necessary. It still works for me, but only as a microphone (video broke some time ago)

Plug and play. I have used it my old Windows XP and a Vista computer and a Windows 7 all just plug and play. There is software with it which makes it more versatile by giving you more options. I would recommend you install the software just for the optioms. I cannot remember if the software was on a disk or if it just installed from the camera. I have two icons on my desktop, one called Logitech Webcam Software and another called Logitech Vid HD.

Funny thing, I didn't use BlueIris...at all. Was able to install all (3) F18910W cameras, 1 at a time. Perhaps you need BlueIris if you want to blow $40 like the others here. Otherwise watch the instructional video that is included with the cam. Then install the cams with the SOFTWARE it was SHIPPED WITH. Done. $40 in your pocket. Download the prefered app on your phone and transfer the HTTP, Port, username & password. (Or just spend $40 and watch your money go down the drain...your call)

This camera is not wireless. It appears you will need wireless cameras for your system. Unfortunately they are more expensive.

So glad I found this post as I'm in the same boat and just printed out the specs on both cameras. I'm curious as to which camera you ended up getting and how you like it? My original intent was to upgrade from my Canon Powershot due to a long lag time in between being able to shoot the next picture now that my kids are in sports, but I would still like clear nice pictures. What did you get and how do you like it?

No software or disks were with my 2 cameras. It is totally plug and play. Just plug the USB cable in the port and the Mic cable in the port and allow the computer to find new hardware. Maybe to make sure it is working reboot. Then go to My Computer to see if it is in there, and if so, just click on it and it will show what it sees.

I did get the camera and I am loving the quality of the recordings. I did the same thing that you mentioned above... I could only laugh when I read your post. Take care and good luck... By the way - you can download a free trial from Adobe's website just in case you want to test the software first.

Thanks for your inquiry,please plug with additional cameras first, and then turn on it in Setting/

I went with this model only because my receiver was pioneer.If you"re going "wired",I would think any camera would work. Price was not an issue for me at the time.Just compare resolution and quality.

Yes. After receiving system, plug in each camera to make sure they all work BEFORE mounting. My system worked out of the box. My limited computer skills were tested adapting to the software. I have no idea what the add-on program does. Sorry.
