Q: Is this a wi-fi only security camera system?
A: Hi Slyfox. This is a fully wired DVR kit & you will need to run video/power cables between the back of the DVR box and each camera. If you wish to view the system remotely via the Swann Security app on your smartphone, then you'll need to give the DVR box internet access by connecting a network cable between the DVR & your router. If you don't need to view it remotely then you can operate it as a local closed system & view on a monitor without any internet connection required. If you are looking for wireless battery powered cameras, you may wish to have a look at Swann's AllSecure or MaxRanger models. - SD, Swann team
Q: Can the cameras be set to record all the time or are they only motion activated?

Q: Can I connect a monitor to the vga port and a tv to the hdmi port in another room?
A: Thanks for your question. Yes, if you connect two different monitors (one via HDMI & one via VGA), then you will be able to see duplicates of the same DVR screen. FYI, you can also connect a USB Wireless mouse to the DVR if you wish to use the DVR on a screen in a different room. -SD, Swann Team
