can i use my own wireless foscam cameras with this unit?

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

I don't believe so. I guess if you could find out the broadcast code and frequency used, maybe. I highly suspect that their systems are proprietary in nature and would prevent other camera's from being used. I know that's what I would do. And really, for the price of additional camera's, it's worth it to just buy theirs.

I would say no, but check with the manufacturer and they can better answer your question

I wouldn't consider it easy. If there are any known vulnerabilities there will be a firmware upgrade available on the foscam site. I would be more worried about your wireless router vulnerabilities than the camera itself. In either case make sure you use wpa2 encryption and set a good user/password and check for firmware updates every month and this will nearly eliminate the possibilities of getting compromised. To note there are logs on the camera on who access it and from what ip. I hope this helps.

There are some tips to set up wireless for this cameras or the similar cameras.To initial set up the camera, you need to use the Ethernet cable connect the camera to the router. After you access the camera, please go to Options/Wireless Lans Settings. And then enter the same wireless settings as your router's over there. Please note:1. SSID and encryption key can not use special characters such as & U & ) %. 2.The SSID must enable broadcasting in your router.3. SSID is better no more than 11 characters. some router will not work wireless with EasyN/Wansview/Tenvis Foscam if SSID is more than 11 characters.4. Disable the Mac Filter in the router.

I made this mistake too, this is a camera to be used with a CCTV which means you already have a monitor to be seen on, it's not a stand alone camera, as I think you are looking for. I didn't read the specifications properly and now I have to send it back and I ordered a WiFi / IP Camera, which can be easily set up through the computer or mobile device, you do need a current network to set it up (In case you are thinking of using it for the summer cabin or something, just an example) With IP / WiFi surveillance cameras you can set up to be recorded whether its video or pictures every period of time, although you need a computer and it has to be left on to record. I bought a Foscam FI8910W and I'm happy with it, I've playing around with it and it would do for the purpose I wanted it for, check every now and then how things are running at a work place. Hope this helps.

no the cameras that come with this system are NOT wireless and DVR does not have option to add wireless...You will need a separate wireless receiver to plug in the DVR for a wireless camera to work

I'm using a Foscam FI8910W and it is working just fine. Connecting it wasn't the most intuitive, but once I figured it out it works fine.

All I know is the signal is by the included cables from receiver to a monitor. I don't know of any way to catch the wireless signal from camera to another device. My model is not intended for internet or cell use.

Yes. If the webcams are in proximity to the router, then you can have a wired connection. If your webcams are wireless then of course there should be no reason to purchase this unit.

from my knowledge no its not -i have the foscam and i have no way of linking them together.It would however really enhance your security system in having video surveillance

Hi. I recommend you spend a little bit more. Go for the Foscam FI8910W. The first model very often you have to reboot it because it losts its wireless connection. The second model is more stable.

NO, however keep in mind wireless cameras need a power source ie power outlet at each camera. So if up put a camera on the 4 corners of your home you will need power as well at each corner. good luck

not with this one...... this one is a wired camera and can only go 60ft from homebest to find a wireless camera that has an app for your computer or phone

You should be able to since the wiring needs to be connected to the power and the back-up light wires in the trunk. The camera itself is on the license tag and it is wireless.

Your unit is wireless but can be hardwired with this cvc6945 indoor/outdoor camera

Yes you can, I used a standard tripod for any camera. No the wireless does not interfere with your WI-fi!hank You!

Best to call and ask Foscam directly but you would not need an additional wireless router if you already have one for your home.

This camera is compatable with most any wifi wireless network. It is not designed to work with proprietary security systems. This is incredibly easy to setup and use. You simply log on to the camera with your Iphone or Android device. Register it with the phone, add the Belkin app to you phone, and you are done. Their free cloud service is not the best but it is good and free. Adding cameras is simple. I have 6 of these and they are great.
