Is this plug &amp; play ip cam? Will special software be needed?

The Lorex 360 IP POE NVR (network video recorder) system has preloaded software and finds the camera in about a minute. Plug all cameras in before turning on power to NVR.

Yes. I just plugged all my ip cameras in and have had no issues for at least a year. I'm sure VoIP equipment will work fine too as most is class 2 with power requirement of 7 watts. Class 3 requires 15 watts. If you need to setup VLANs I don't think this one can be managed but not sure.

Yes, I also recommend IP Cam Viewer as it works with a great many camera models.The web interface also works just like it does on any normal PC too.

The only software you might need is the IP address finder. You could download that free from X10. All of the operating software is part of the camera. Initial setup for your first camera can be challenging if you are not an IP person, but once complete the camera takes care of itself very nicely and will do everything advertised (and more).

There are instructions with the camera. You download a program from the website and enter the unit number. It links up. That is the only way to record the video. I had to leave the program open on my computer for it to record. The program is IPcamsystem.exe. It shows up as plugCAM on my computer. A friend did everything for me, so if you need more detailed instructions, just let me know and I will ask him for you.

No. This is not an IP camera. it runs down CAT5 but only works with specific Samdung DVR's. Doesnt have an interface to the camera.

It is not the camera that records it is a software that is provided and yes the Foscam IP camera come with software call IP setup software to access the camera software for setup. The IP software will record and also has motion detector setting. You can also use for recording ispy and Blue Iris. This connect to Internet network that's either a switch or a router by using the cable RJ45 cat5. Set up the camera and you prefer set up your wireless connection then disconnect the cable after setup and see if you're on WiFi.

The Insteon 75790 IP cam will do that no problem at all. I use mine inside and strategically mounted mine to observes most common areas of my home. And receive instant notifications with up to 6 images.

connect the camera via LAN (hardwired) cable to your router first. You should have DHCP setup on your router to auto assign the IP address. I had this same problem even using the LAN cable, had to return it and never bought another one. I bought a DLINK instead.

If you are asking about IPv6, then I think the answer is no. I didn't see any IPv6 configuration information in the setup process. I could be wrong, but I am strongly inclined to assume that the cameras and the dvr are both IPv4 only.

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.

It is only a IP camera.This camera require a router to work with it. Dlink camera should not have built-in router. You does not have to get a static IP.

Don't know of an IP Camera with dry contract connections for a trip switch. And that includes the Loftek Nexus 543. It uses frame differential analysis for motion detection and is subject to a lot of false trips.

It works many branded IP cameras, I have a Wansview and works okay. Best to hard wire it with CAT5 and run it through a LAN switch. I tried using it wireless (you would need to buy a chipset that would connect it wireless-Ralink), but connectivity didn't do well to my Buffalo Air Router.

You can set fixed IP addresses up on this unit, which I guess your cameras could use, but it doesn't have any USB ports to utilise.

Yes, but you will have to have Foscam go into your router and forward you internet ports so it can be accessed from any device and/or web. I had Foscam do all my setup due to the fact that it's their camera and they know what to do instantly. I hope this helped you.
