Does this nvr have 16 Lan inputs on the back ? as in 16 seperate inputs for cameras

It does not have camera inputs on the back , you will need to get a separate PoE network switch to connect the cameras to it, once the cameras are up, you can do a camera scan on the NVR menu to find and add the cameras

You'll need a PoE switch and a router. Someone had mentioned in previous answers that the NVR has 8 PoE ports that IS NOT TRUE. THIS UNIT ONLY HAS 4 RJ45 PORTS. For the other 4, you would need to add them from within the LAN but outside of the physical NVR. Why they didn't just have 8 ports.... who knows.

The system comes with 4 cameras but there are connections for 8 total. The installation manual can be found online and might answer any other questions you may have.

no this is a pass-through so you can run one cat 5 cable for 4 cameras and you will need to of the converters on each end. I have 4 cameras connected but two ports work fine and the other two have issues I wiggle the cables and it works again. its a nice option when you need to put your dvr in a remote location with limited access. Hope this helps ..

as others said, no. I have six cameras with one adapter.The cameras also work off POE, so if you mount the cameras next to an Ethernet outlet, you don't need any adapters.

It sounds like you want to know if you can connect the cameras and the NVR to the same switch.Probably can if only wants to access the cameras on the local network, but to be able to access them from a remote location you would need to connect them to a router.www.AffordableHomeElectronics.com

Hi James! Thank you for your interest in Defender. Yes this DVR has 4 channels. You can have as many cameras connected to a DVR has Channels. An 8 channel DVR with 4 cameras would allow you to add up to an additional 4 cameras in the future and a 16 channel DVR would allow a maximum of 16 cameras

You can have up to 4 cameras plug into one outlet, near the DVR. No outlet is needed near the camera location. Hope that helps

My package came with 8 cameras. I bought 2 more cameras about a month later. I installed one of them so I didnt have a blank spot on my monitor. I have it set up to view 9 cameras at once. 3 on top 3 in the middle and 3 on the bottom. I found I really don't need 10 cameras but have an extra one in case one dies on me or I decide I need it at some point. Not sure if that abswered your question or not. Its a 16 channel system so you can use 1 camera or 4 or 8 or buy enough to put 16 up. More than 16 cameras for this system I don't know. As far as intergrate it with another system. That's a question I cant answer.

Three, as shown, plus the controller. It will support up to 4 and you can have two of these on one subnet. Simple to install.

No. A "DVR" with Cat5 inputs is typically an NVR or Network Video Recorder, and would require IP cameras. Do some research online and make sure you are using the correct camera type to go with your "DVR".

No. A 4 camera system has only 4 connectors, thus you cannot add more cameras.

Hi John, The 16 channel dvr can support up to 16 cameras however if you only wanted to use 1 camera or 5 cameras on that system that would be ok too. It's really up to your discretion on how many cameras you'd like to use up to the maximum 16. I hope that helps answer your question.

Yes it will. I have 5 connected to their 8 channel DVR (with built in POE). The units will auto negotiate DHCP and all the other network settings. I would recommend going in and using some stronger than the default passwords and securing the private subnet that it creates. Also, I would recommend these cameras (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I86U5UI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) over the current one. These others are varifocal meaning that you can zoom and focus to really tighten up the area you want to cover. They also have the audio and alarm in/out connections. Yes it will.

The software can handle 8 cameras but the poe switch in the back of the unit only has 4 ports. To hook up more than 4 cameras you would have to hook them up to an external poe switch or use a switch and injectors to get the power to the cameras.

Hi Michael, Sorry for the late reply. Yes, it is a 8CH DVR, so if you want to add another 4 cameras, it is fine. Do you want to buy another 4 cameras from us? Please kindly advise. Thank you.
