will this work as a security camera for your home?

No. The picture isn't great, the battery life is short, and the one I have doesn't even work anymore. It isn't waterproof, so any outside use is out. I can't recommend it.

This effective unit only works with CCTV units with a infrared censor. Most residential indoor cameras do not have them. You also have to check what wavelength of infrared is required? This unit is set for 850 nm. If your camera has night time capability ? Then I would recommend this lamp. I don't even need my visible lights for seeing what losers are outside. The lamp does put out a slight red glow from the bulbs. Very very little. It does make it more intimidating and sinister as well. Good luck. Qapla'

It is not. This is an indoor camera but would most likely work in a protected enviroment

Nope. It has a plug-in area where you can wire it into an existing home security system, but no clue how to do that or even why you would

Nope. Any motion sensing would have to be done in the software. Most modern systems do it this way, these days. Keeps the cost down on the camera, anyway.

Can this camera be used standalone, or must it be part of a security system? I am looking for a camera to watch two pieces of property (two cameras) and alert me via text/email, so I can decide whether to call police or not. Both locations have access to router

I use it for our security camera and yes it should .We can hear people talking outside across town. We had no idea it was that good.

I believe it will. The system I have feeds into a Hard drive and then directly to a monitor. A mouse connects to the drive. Since it can network, windows could view. Problem I found was trying to hide all the stuff so would be thief doesn't throw a rock at the camera or take the hard drive.

The camera will need to be connected to a DVR . The recording feature on the DVR can be activated for motion detection.

Yes. The cameras can be monitored via the internet or through an app on any android phone they can be set to motion sensor to record when someone enters your home while your away.

I believe it will function adequately as a stand-alone detector on battery. However, the wiring provides a means to integrate this unit with a whole-house, multi-zone (upstairs/downstairs or a moderately large floor plan) protection system.

Dear friend, Thank you for your questions. It is really sorry that it is only a camera, it can't be used as a lock, you can use any DVR monitor, and if you have any special requirement ,please let me know, I will try my best to satisfy you.

I have not tried this, so I do not know. I only use it as a "surveillance" camera for my dogs.

I would say Yes. This is a network camera, to use it to just record to view later would be a waste of money. The greatest advantage is to download the Dlink APP, then I can view with a phone, or tablet that supports that APP. We use our existing Cable Companies internet modem / Wireless router. Our camera is on our home WiFi. Newer Smart TV's probably could be used to set up door views, although we only use to watch our dog when we are not home. I can see it also to be used as a baby monitor situation, or to watch baby sitters although I think you have to tell them you video monitor ( without showing the cameras location). Not sure if that helps.

Absolutely! Download iSpy video surveillance software (free - google it), Set up your camera on your computer or home network. No need to be on line unless you want to remote view (offsite) your camera. I have six cameras set up this way with no internet access.

Hello Yes, you can see that, but i recomend you download an app from appstore called BLUEIRIS. It is the fastest smartphone aplication for this kind of security camera.
