Is this system totally wireless and what do you need to capture and monitor video footage?

I am using this system as a receiving door monitor for a manufacturing site. It it totally wireless and has a pretty good picture, with sound. Installation is quick and easy, only requires a power outlet at the location of the camera.

This is plug n play unit. DC power to the camera and DC power to the receiver. Plug the yellow video cable into any TV or PC that has video input. Watch real time. If you need to "record" and play back you need to purchase a Video DVR unit. Either a 4 camera or a 8 camera DVR. Find a DVR that has wireless capability and then you can watch real time on a smart phone by downloading IP Cam Lite.

the camera just has a power cable that needs to be plugged it. the receiver unit has a power cable and bnc/rca out. you can plug it into a vcr, dvd-r, tv, etc. if possible i would go with wired. my camera is 26 feet away and the signal is clear but cuts out every now and then. if wireless is a necessity it does get the job done

It needs an AC power source at the camera and at the receiver. It comes with 2 power adapters so you dont need that, just some place to plug each in. The wireless receiver outputs to a standard security DVR system made by lorex, swann, etc. with a BNC connector. if you dont have that, it will output with a regular RCA video jack and RCA audio to a tv or monitor. In order to record you will need a security dvr system or a computer with a video capture card that accepts BNC or RCA video input. Hope that helps

Yes, the camera can be mounted anywhere within the designed range for the receiver, i.e. I believe in this case a 100 foot range. You have to have an electrical source for the camera to run, so depending on the site for where you intend use the camera, you may need a long extension cord if there is not readily available electricity. You can use the receiver with any monitor i.e. TV for live viewing, or utilize regular video recorder, or time lapse recording system as well. I currently have a time lapse VCR.

You will need to plug the camera into a standard outlet. I have the supplied reciever plugged into a dvr that was supplied with a diff. 4 camera "wired" kit.

Hi Nathan. I ended up returning this product. My husband wanted this but we currently rent a house and you need to run power to this camera which would require drilling holes. It is not totally wireless. I had also bought a package which came with the software needed to watch this. You could watch it on a computer or cell phone, but if you want it recorded, you need the DVR box.

the system is not wireless. there are wires from the reciever to the cameras and power to the head unit. there is a wireless remote. there is a single heavy cable with audio and video component jack at both ends, looks similar to s-video cable.

These cameras are wired. It's a pain, but the wireless ones were interfering with my wifi.

No this DVR is not wireless. You will need to get a wireless receiver that is compatible with your cameras and then connect the receiver to the DVR using the RCA plug type cables. Usually when you buy the wireless cameras a receiver comes with them.

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 dvr has an ethernet port to connect to a wired lan. You would have to connect another device to the lan to get wireless capabilities. There are no wireless capabilities built into this dvr.

No the wireless monitor can not be connected to a computer to my knowledge. I would not recommend you get this product especially if you are planning on wanting to record.

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 .

Cameras are wired. Although wireless are a lot easier to install, with a wired setup the video stability is worth it. Especially if your system goes through a few walls, a wired setup is almost required.

This is not a router, just a HUB, so it should work with a security camera system. if you are asking for a wireless security camera that connect each camera to an ethernet port, yes you will need one port per camera, if not connected to a DVR or Receiver.In order to monitor the cameras over the internet, one or more ports will have to be open on the router. If you have more than one router, it may not work. Some equipements may work if the ports are open on all the router-modems firewalls.I hope I answered your question.

Not wireless. Comes with power supply. Must be wired to monitor or DVR with coax. This is the wrong camera for you.

Nope not wireless. If you want a wirless camera try searching for a "wireless" or "IP" cameras, and they are usually viewed using software provided by the manufacturer or a 3rd party software provider and by typing in the camera's IP address. Hope this helped!

It is wired. I have two systems and I connected both directly to routers. You might be able to use a wireless adapter in the USB port, but I doubt it as that port is probably only for the mouse. Assume that it is wired only. If you are asking about the cameras, they are definitely wired.

Hi Mike, this system uses Defenders ClearVu technology and would not be compatible with other wireless cameras

The software Foscam ships with this unit does not have this capability. It allows you to monitor the video in a small window and take snapshots manually. You can set it up to trigger on motion and send you emails with the snapshots attached. There may be third party software for this camera for continuous video capture but I do not know of any. Also the note that the wireless does not seem to be able to use a password if you have a secured router. My wireless router will only operate secured with a password so I had to plug a separate wireless access point into the router so the camera could send wirelessly to the non secured access point. I could not find another way around this with the software Foscam provides.

I am not aware of a wireless camera that would work with this system. I bought a stand-alone wireless camera that works over the internet. Fosam.
