when hooking up multiple cameras do you have to view each separately in house or remotely?

The PC software that comes with the cameras allows you to watch multiple cameras at once. I personally use the ipad app (costs a few bucks) which allows up to four cameras at once. The free version allows one camera at a time. If you get the cloud camera, you can watch from anywhere, but only one at a time.

These cameras support DHCP/Fixed IP as well as Dynamic DNS if your location does not have a fixed IP. Each camera has it's own address and stream. There are several phone apps which will allow you to view them together.

Yes, the iPad/iPhone app only allows for individual camera views and not multiple.

If you can access you home network remotely each camera has a web GUI interface to see live video. You can also download the Trendnet app for android and view split screen in house.

This did not come with any software, but most security software will not have any problems viewing these as long as you don't set them to the same IP Address.

You will need two monitors the first time you set it up. one for your computer to set up the wi-fi feed and one to the box to complete the initial set up. After that you can disconnect the second monitor but I advise against it. It would be better to always have a monitor connected the box. On line you can only check a composite of the 4 cameras. You cannot see one camera at the time and you cannot check recordings. In order to do that you have to use the box hence you need a monitor connected to the box. I found out the hard way.

if you used them on multiple cameras with multiple units you are going to need multiple units to capture 1 per every camera. You set up a wireless network between the camera and the unit you are using laptop or tablet

Yes. I have three throughout my house and can view all three on one account. I just click on which camera I want to view in full screen mode or I can see all three at once in miniature/wallet size mode.

if you wanted to, you can hook only one camera. each camera works on a separate cannel. doesn't affect the system. you don't have any problem.

Typical installations of security cameras use a DVR, which record the areas being monitored for playback at a later time. If you choose to connect the camera(s) directly to the TV instead, you are limited only by the number of composite style inputs the TV has, and of course, will have the ability to view only what is happening in real time and no record of daily events.I suppose one could use a switch selector box to connect multiple cameras to a single TV input, and then manually switch between cameras. What purpose this would serve, I don't know.

Ordinarily, it's one camera at a time from your browser. However, If you install the disc supplied by Sharx on your computer, you can view multiple cameras at once. Same applies if you have an app such as Ucam pro on your smartphone.

No. They run very well on I.E. or Crome. I have 12 going right now. If you want to see several cameras at the same time you will need to use I.E. though. I don't have much bandwidth so I only view two at a time in different windows...

Yes you set them up individually but can use various software to view all. If you are using Android phone use it cam viewer

Each Camera has its own unique IP Address (or web URL if you set it up through NoIp.com) you just open up a new web browser page or Tab for each camera you wish to view. I can have all four of mine easily on one screen at the same time

You can do all of the above. Full screen on one, 2 cameras or all 4 at once. If you only connect 2 cameras...go into the setup and disable the other 2inputs...that way you dont have 2 black boxes that say no input or something like that.

Yes you can watch in real time and you will record sound but only one camera at a time. So if you move from room to room you will have to switch camera feeds from camera 1 to camera two if you want audio. I have 4 cameras working at once but no sound unless I switch to a single camera view.

the cameras come with a designation such as channel 1,2,3, or 4. These are set and cannot be changed. For example, if a camera comes designated to use channel 3, it must always use channel 3. However, the receiver will allow the connection of up to 4 cameras each on their own channel. This allows up to four cameras to be powered on at one time with no interference between themselves. To change between the cameras, simply select the corresponding channel button on the side of the receiver. If you had more than one camera that had the same channel designation then you could simply turn off the power to the ones that you did not want to see and leave only the desired camera powered on. Power off the cameras you don't want to see and only use one at a time powered on at a time.

I don't think so, although there might be a tweak or solution. However, if you have 2 or more Tivo's, you can access each other's recorded content from any of the connected Tivo

If you set up the cameras in quad view, you will be able to see all cameras at the same time. However, if you want to view each individual camera, you have to manually set it up to quad view again.

Yes. You can have up to 4 different cameras on one monitor. I have a camera in each of my boys' rooms, and i can set it to watch only one if the other isn't in bed, or have it it switch back and forth on an interval. You can also set it to sleep after a minute if the baby is quiet, and then come back on if they cry or cough or make noise.

No, multiple cameras can be linked to the same monitor but only one monitor can be linked to a camera.
