Will this work without video connected (as a km only switch)?

Typically, so long as the KVM has power through the USB connections, it will function regardless of the video being connected. However, in my opinion it's not worth it to buy a KVM with HDMI connections if your setup doesn't allow for it. You might even be able to find just a "km" switch by itself without the video part.

Others here indicate that it will. If you only want to switch the Keyboard and Mouse, a VGA or USB-only switch will be cheaper.

Not sure about the monitor but if you're using a wireless kybd & mouse (Logitech in my case), then the answer is NO!!! The Unifying USB receiver s only capable of recognizing only one device type, that means 1 keyboard, 1 mouse, 1 touchpad. Apparently it doesn't pass that through the Iogear switch. At least not for me :-(

I believe so. Havent tried. It might be slower than the handheld continuous mode

To my knowledge, no. The camera will automatically use the external one instead.

You can, but the KMV switch is tbad. I hooked it up and it was terrible, my monitors were fuzzy and hard to read. I would not purchase this product, spend a little more and get something better.

This device would not work over a network switch. It transmits raw HDMI TMDS signalling information, not ethernet, so the switch can't understand it.

I used 3 cameras and receivers feeding the output into a three position video switch. No cross modulation problem and works rather well. Much easier than a wired system installation.

It works without any computer connection. It records straight from your video source to a SD memory card.

Not that I am aware of. You can switch from video to camera, but can't switch back without plugging it in to a computer.

This is a switch which lets you select between various video sources, not a splitter to send the same signal to different places. You want the latter.

I don't think so. It has a USB port for downloading data. To activate the menu that allows for download to happen, a person with admin rights has to access the menu. There is software that allows for data to be dumped directly into your computer. I'm not aware of any firmware within the unit that would enable external switch activity.

Nope, this device is weather or not wired via Cat 5e no interferance in video signal communication.

I have found that the switching works manually in this case since there is no way for it to automatically know which device you want to use if they are all left on. I have a couple devices that stay on as well, so I end up using the included remote control to switch between inputs. Other than that the device works great, picture quality is excellent.

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.

The box appears to be a simple switch for each input, with no conversion applied or even available. I have never tried to switch input and output video modes, and am unsure if that is possible on this box, as S-video requires signals that are not separately present in composite video. I have noticed no degradation of video quality using the switch for composite connections. So I agree with Mr. Carlson.

No, it has to be switched by the device itself. The device is only a pass through switch. Device is reliable and have been used frequently.

Yes. I've been watching MKV format for a while. Make sure you got the most update firmware.

Yes, that is what the device is designed to do. Mine works great. Quick switching between computers, no flickering and a very clear picture.
