Is this camera compatible with the IRIS Home Security system sold mostly at Lowes?

No, this camera is only compatible with the GE wireless reciever. This is an add on camera. They also sell this add on camera and the camera & reciever set at lowes

Yes it is. But I don't recommend to you buying this camera. It disconnects very often from you net (you have to boot it each time). Go for Foscam FI8910W.

Any ip camera software will work. We use bot blue iris as well as other pic and smartphone software.

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!

I am not sure. I had to do quite a bit of digging around on the internet to ensure compatability. I finally found a merchant that sold my particular model (which has been discontinued)that also offered replacement cameras and indicated the models that it was compatible with. Hope this helps.

I am going to add a comment here, generally the IRIS devices are not ZWAVE, they are Zigbee. But IRIS does both, so the best advice I can give in the lowes store is look for the ZWave icon, looks like a head with sound waves coming out of it. If it says WORKS WITH Iris, its probably ok, if it says REQUIRES it may not work with VERA.

Yes. The system will accept one more camera (indoor or outdoor) if you buy one.

Yes. Blue Iris is what I use. If you plan on connecting more than one of these cameras I highly recommend Blue Iris.

If you check out the shade on line it will mention with which cameras it is compatible. I know I had no problem with my Nikon Cool Pix.

I would check with the company that makes the home automation software...they may have a requirement spec that this camera may not have to "integrate" into the home automation piece...this camera can be managed by other 3rd party software apps...so I'm not entirely sure...find out what their(alarm.com) requirements are first....

I contacted my home security company to get a list of sensors that are compatible with my existing security system. This one was one of those in the list. I would suggest you to do the same.

I have "Blue Iris" (purchased directly from Foscam, by the way). It works fine with this model of camera, though of course you're subject to the basic limitations of Blue Iris (which is not really set up for 2-way audio, etc).

Thank you for your question. All additional cameras are model specific. This system will not work with the Summer Infant Slim & Secure Cameras.

Yes Blue Iris can do all that and more, I have 20 assorted brand IP Cams running with B.I. Two of them are Loftek Sentinels like this, they are great cameras for the money.

Yes it is....but WHY would you want to use Q-see cameras with this system? Q-see is a far superior system. Hope this helps.

Yes it will work but I don't know about the camera I had mines professionally installed
