This camera is connected to an Analog Surveillance System via a standard 100 ft combination video and power cable. Your DVR should support the 700 TVL resolution or better to use the capabilities of the camera. DVR's are offered on 4, 8, 12, and more ports, so you need to select between the 4 & 8 port units.

The outlets you mention: are the power supplies for the cameras on the DVR end of the cables, or at the camera end with the power supplies plugged into those outlets?Possibly, if the power supplies are plugged in at the camera end, there may be some ground loop situation. Is the interference just a blurriness or with moving diagonal lines? Are the cameras using shielded coax as for non HD cameras or are they fed by LAN Cat 5 or 6 cables as Hi Def Cameras use? 150 feet is not a lot, as I have 2 runs of 275 feet of Siamese coax cable feeding the cameras power from the DVR end for my non hi def cameras, and the video is quite good.

The night vision works great 18 leds, I bought a cheap camera on ebay for $18.99 with 36 leds and it really gives about 90 feet vision the ones that came with the dvr are about 60 feet. They work best if the led night lights are bouncing off things in the dark like a wall or a building, But if someone does walk by it will light em up big time. Also get the next dvr model up for it has a nice HdmiAnd the alert buzzer works great ELEC CVD 2008H on your model the sofwear shows a alert tab but its not supported by the dvr.Hope this helps look at ptz cameras on u tube also to see how well they work.Good Luck The night vision works great 18 leds, I bought a cheap camera on ebay for $18.99 with 36 leds and it really gives about 90 feet vision the ones that came with the dvr are about 60 feet.

you only need these if you are using a single cat5 or cat6 to run power/video/audio. if you are running a cat5 power hub, you are using only for power, then no need to run the wire all the way to the DVR, only one connector is needed at the camera location

Richard if you wont to hook up the DVR to the Internet then you will need a CAT5e CAT5 RJ45 LAN Network Ethernet Patch Cable. I need 1 my router is at the other end of the house so I need a 100 Foot one. All the office stores and even Walmarts wonted almost $40.00 for 1. I found 1 on E Bay for $9.95 free shipping works great . E Bay also has 4 cameras for $87.99. free shipping. Witch I got and they work pretty good for the money not as good as $100.00 a piece ones but for the money they work great

At least a LCD monitor with VGA. One with HDMI (high definition) is best. Check your outputs on your DVR. You may have 3 choices. VGA, HDMI, and video (BNC connection).

it comes with 50 feet of wiring. If the camera and the tv or recorder are within 50 feet of each other you will be good.

I use the cable by VideoSecurity, same brand as the camera. They come in various lengths frm 50 to 150 feet.

60' cables are included with the unit. If you are in the SE and need Professional Installation call me at 828-640-4907. I would not use the cables included. You are better off buying the system. An external power supply and running RG-59 Siamese cable. With the setup you are looking at you are going to need 6 outlets at the DVR Location. you will have 5 "Bricks" for the DVR and cameras (one power brick powers 4 cameras) and then a monitor brick. Using a professional power supply everything could be ran from 2- possibly 3 outlets depending on the voltage of the DVR unit.

You must plug it into a revo DVR. It uses special RJ24 cable that provides power and video in one cable.

The cable does carry power to the cameras, but not into the DVR itself. The cable splits by the DVR and there is a separate adapter for the power.

My power cord is 5 feet. It is also detachable with DC 5V written on the outside of the Foscam device. I can't tell you that they are all detachable or 5 volts, but mine is.

What do you have to hookup in to to record from DVR? Do you hook dvr to dvd player only? Does Cable have to run thru the DVD player and tv? I've tried a couple times and nothing is recording. Also, how do you finalize if you are choosing record without setting it up.

I'll have to double check DVR supply, but camera adapter was a 3-5 amp for 8 cameras, thinking DVR was a 3 amp power supply.

That 200 ft shielded cable has 2 ends. 1 is for the camera(BNC). And a red end that is the power supply. The red ends are power. I have a 4 way power supply at my DVR to power up 4 cameras at a time. I also have a 16 camera DVR. So I have 4 - 4 way adapters plugged in to where I have my DVR. It saves on outlets. Otherwise I would need 16 outlets. As I get more into these camera. I end up buying more stuff. So I have it exactly as I want it. And in my opinion. It has paid off. They can be purchased threw amazon. I also have a 300 ft shielded cable.

I currently have 3 up and running. To my knowledge, you should be able to set up more than that but I am unsure of what the limit is, if any. I don't have any issues with signal drop issues with multiple cams set up. I do not think you can set this up to recored to a DVR. Any recordings are saved to your computers hard drive. One limitation to the recording is that your computer must be up and running for the recordings to work.
