If I have OEM camera can I just replace the camera and use all existing wiring? I want the lines.

The answer is yes, but the installation is not just plug and play. you may need to cut the wire and idenfity the video+/video- wire and power/ground wire then connect individual wire to new camera.

The quick answer is Yes...but it may not be the best approach. I have done this in situations different types of camera systems are running on the same location. It would be helpful to know more about your needs.

A long as they have the same connections you can. You just have to look at the power requirements of the new cameras to ensure they do not need more power than the night owl connection gives. You may have to have a separate power supply for the cameras.

I had my camera installed but I don't think that they needed any other wiring. I don't see any charges for additional parts. I had my camera installed to be on all the time so I can keep an eye on the tow vehicle as my motorhome is 30' long.

I have no idea, because I boult it on line. If you can find the shop which have sell this camera, it will be ok.

I'm not sure but the newer system that I have features plug in ports. Would suggest downloading the schematic to view the port type to see if they will match your pre existing camera plugs

Yes you can. My wife has the camera today, otherwise I would tell you how, but I kinda have to do it.

You can usually find a security system installer or an electrician to so the installation but you will have to ask them for a price quote. I did the install myself. It was hard to run the camera cables through the attic but.you can do it yourself if you are so inclined.

If the camera was installed as a factory option, any dealer for that manufacturer can relocate the camera. If the camera is an after market add-on, it can be relocated. A minimal number of tools will be required. New mounting holes will probably have to be drilled. Also, if the camera is a hard wired model, the video coax cable and/or 12 VDC wiring may have to be extended.

absolutely, you just need to use the right cable with video, power and ground. Its included when you purchased the camera.

I don't know.. I would hope the cables come with the additional camera. I want to add some myself.

I cant be 100% sure of connections, however in my extensive experience with installing various systems and cameras for myself and many others, i find cameras to have connectors that are a standard and never had any connector issues personally, also by chance there should be an issue, there are adapters made that will convert from one connection to another, but i have only ever seen that happen 1 time, most stuff has a commn standard connector, if you web search for the brand and model numbers of your equipment and cameras, you can usually find a pic of everything 8ncluding connectors for verification. Hope this helps, good luck.

Yes, we had to wire the cameras to the house. One is wired in the front and one in back of the house.

do you have power going to the camera and if no you need to power it with the power cable that came with it if you are using cat5e to plug it in the use one set over wires top power it there is a adaptor you can buy to do this

I agree with JR, check/swap your wiring/power supply. If it still doesn't work send it back. Quality control on this camera is not good, Ordered 2, one was bad right out of the box.

for future folks on here looking for an answer....yes, you can take the whole thing apart, flip the camera 180 and run the wire back up through the middle underneath the back bracket that has 4 screws in it as there is no cut out hole for the wire on the left side. Worked for me.

I assume you are talking about the backup camera wires? If so, any small gauge wire will do.
