I believe they are IP cameras. They would through your computer and can give you a picture anywhere on your phone or I pad connection.

This camera is a BNC composite video camera, works well with IP dvr, not to be mistaken with an NVR or network video recorder witch records the ip address of cameras on a network, this is not a network camera, but it's still an awesome camera for a ip dvr and for the money!

Yes. This is just like any other ip camera. I use ip cam viewer. I had to pay for mine on iPhone but my wife has a android and her app, at the time was, free

No reason to think they are. They are IP cameras that can be connected to by a computer application and that application can save the video and images to a hard drive.

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?

They use wi-fi to communicate, so as long as you are on your local wi-fi network, yes. If you want to see them outside of your local wi-fi network you have to set up DynDNS or something like that so they are on the public internet. You may want to look at Dropcam if convenience of viewing the video outside your network is important to you (I returned my Foscams for Dropcam instead, and I'm very happy).

The camera only comes with a rudimentary software called IP camera tools, but has a firmware engine that will deliver notifications and send images. I prefer using a Mac package called SecuritySpy that pulls the ip stream and processes it for recording and notification.

I am still learning and I did not set mine up for that but you can view these in a number of ways with lots of different software.I am using ISPY freeware and you can specify a youtube channel I think from there. also works with VLC media player. just set up the ip and pull it up.also Airvision comes with it for monitoring as well.

I'm not sure what your asking in reference to 2-way communication and I also never heard of drop cam. I'm sorry

does not, not unless yours have BNC analogue connections. The IP cameras I've seen do not.

The switch seems to handle the three POE ip cams i have installed just fine. "foscams" Which cameras are you going to use? I also have Blue IRIS insalled on a PC. Blue Iris does a decent job at managing the cameras, but i have noticed that performce is weak when trying to do continues recording from 3 cameras. Some of that may be the pc im using but i am unwilling to invest in a new computer for just the purpose of running the cameras. There is not a lot of documentation with the software and its not very intuitive. I have 4 total and it will work with a wide verity of cameras. I dont have any experience with NVR's. I have looked into them but they seem pretty pricy. If you have not bought any cameras or equipment yet, I would strongly point you in the direction of CCTV systems. You can easily get a system for the same cost of buying 4 POE cameras. I wish someone had told me this before i got started. You will still be required to pull the cable to cameras either way. I think the upside with CCTV would be that the dVR is doing all the recording continusly. They do a great "Superior" job at what they are designed to do. PC based systems are kind of shakey at this price point. In most cases you can record up to two weeks worth at a time, with several cameras with a DVR system and have alerts sent and motion triggers. I have seen the difference in between my setup and two different CCTV systems. One of them "lorex" and the second "swan" If I had it to do all over again i would go with CCTV. Id buy a 4 camera set with a dVR with room to expand up to 8 cameras. I started with one camera and now have four. Its good to have room to grow. Just FYI I have seen a 4 camera setup with 4, 700 lines of resolution cameras for less or close then what your going to spend on POE. One last note you will also be able to remote monitor with your smart phone or web browser just like using POE and Blue Iris. More info then you wanted I know, but just my 2 cents!

Yes, there are various ones out there that should work. In our case my wife uses ip cam viewer, the only problem is she cannot get sound. On my android devices and windows desktops I am able to hear what is going on w\o a problem. Hope this helps.

As far as linking them to watch recorded videos, yes. But from what it sounds like you're wondering if you can link them to your computer as use of a webcam. The answer to which would be, probably not. As cheap as they are I don't believe they are physically built to do that, but if they are, you'll need some 3rd party application to use them as such. I wouldn't buy them if that's what you're looking to do as there's other cheap "spy cams" out there.

No they are not but the clarity is awesome and also you can access your system from the internet and view your cams anywhere you want to. If I had to go out and buy a system again I would buy this one all over again.

I would seriously think about getting a focsam IP cameras, I disconnected this camera a week after I installed it. Not that it is a bod product it is a very well made product it is just a bit behind the times

They are not wireless and I would not recommend them. I have had to replace nearly every camera I have ever purchased from this company. The wiring has poor quality and the cameras just burn out. The professional that I hired to trouble shoot called the Q-See cameras "disposa-cams." When they say "you get what you pay for," it is absolutely true here.
