This DVR can have up to 8 cameras hooked up to it and doesnt need adapter for it , at least my set up didnt need any adapter. It has 2 four-way hook ups that came with the QS558-852 8 channel system.

You can connect the camera to a DVR or a monitor using a BNC to RCA adapter. The camera and PTZ power is supplied with an adapter. This camera also works with my remote control via the DVR and my iPhone, PTZ functions work great~!

no you can plug up to four cameras to one adapter. one adapter splits four ways.

Yes, it has a capacity of 16 channels (cameras) total, but this package includes only 8 cameras. Nice feature if you want to expand without having to purchase another DVR.

The four channel DVR only supports 4 cameras. You have to buy the 8 or 16 channel for more cameras

It depends on the configuration of your surveilance controller. I use a Revo DVR controller and I have 4 cameras plugged into the monitor.

The DVR comes with 4 cables that you connect to the cameras. The cables are all in one, power, video, and audio. At the ends of the cables, they are split so you can connect each one to the video port on the DVR and the power port on the DVR No separate power supplies needed.

as others said, no. I have six cameras with one adapter.The cameras also work off POE, so if you mount the cameras next to an Ethernet outlet, you don't need any adapters.

I have never seen an IP camera adapter that would allow IP cameras to work with a DVR system. If you are asking will the DVR system and IP cameras work on the same local network, the answer is yes. IP cameras typically have their own software that opens to a web browser. I have 4 Foscam IP cameras connected to my same local network as the Zmodo DVR, but they use different software to view and are not recordable by the DVR system. If an IP/ DVR camera adapter does exist, there may still be a software issue to overcome.

Sorry , it all depends on the DVR system you are using. If you are using only the monitor it will support only the one cam that is pluged in

The provided cable is setup for standard power hookup and BNC connection for the camera. The cable also contains 2 control leads for the PTZ connection on your DVR or the provided controller, which I use. The remote control (provided) works very well with the controller.

Yes it should, if you just have one PTZ you might just use the DVR to control it?

It will work with almost any camera, provided you use use the BNC connectors or a video balun. You have to keep in mind, this device is technology that is considered by many in the security industry "nonprogressive". Meaning, companies are not pouring money into research and development for DVRs, rather live network cameras. Don't expect PTZ or other axis controls with this. For fixed position cameras, this will do fine.

Yes it does, my company has about 12 of these and they work great for the most part however there is one thing to watch out for. If you are wanting to view your camera's remotely sometimes the DVR will randomly lose it's network configuration. We have 2 8channels that do it about once a week. But so far the 16 channels have been great.

I have this unit and it will take four cameras. I'm waiting to catch another good deal in order to get a set for my daughter and her family.
