QuestionDo I need an electrical outlet near each camera , or does the power end up being plugged the room where the DVR unit is?
Asked 5 years ago by power.
- Answer You need 2 110v outlets by the DVR. One for the DVR and one for the cameras. There's a power cord that has 4 male/female ends that attach to each camera and back at the second power brick by the DVR. One note, the fan is really loud. I couldn't put the DVR in any room and ended up setting it up in a garage cabinet. After a few weeks, I read online that you can cut out the slotted vents in front of the fan and the noise goes away. I removed the top and the noise was gone. I cut out the vents and that solved the problem, but the DVR stays in the garage because I don't want to fish all the lines again. Just FYI.

Questionif someone breaks into my house and also take the dvr system, will I be able to see the evidence of who took in via the app. will it be saved on the mobile device?
Asked 5 years ago by cameras.
- Answer The video is stored on the DVR and not in the cloud or your mobile device. So if someone broke in and took or destroyed the DVR you would lose all the video.

QuestionIs this system able to have the cameras always recording? I would like to have them always on but then also sense motion. I just don't want the motion to be what turns on recording.
Asked 5 years ago by Warehouse.
- Answer Yes you can have the cameras record constantly and send alerts when there is motion detected. Because the cameras are recording constantly you will go to your timeline and play back the actual motion video. Its easy to do and the app is easy to navigate.

Questiondo you have to have system connected to the internet?
Asked 5 years ago by joann.
- Answer No, internet connection is not required. The system works without internet connection. If not connected then you cannot stream the feed to your mobile device and you do not get the alerts.

QuestionHow long is the warranty period ?
Asked 5 years ago by Abbie.
- Answer They have a 1 yr manufacturer warranty on defects. My suggestion would be to get the warranty from best buy. We brought a system exactly 2 years ago and we purchased the 2 year warranty and since its not working they gave us a full refund and are uninstalling and reinstalling a new set that we purchased from them. The warranty is well worth it since we had problems from the beginning with the old set of cameras at night.

QuestionIs this surveillance system 4K
Asked 5 years ago by Rainyraine.
- Answer The cameras are capable of 4k and the video captured and stored on the local DVR hard drive can be 4k. If you have a 4k monitor attached to the DVR then the images you see will be in 4k. If however you are using remote access and streaming the video to a tablet, pc or phone then the video you see is a sub stream and of a lower resolution.

QuestionDO these cameras require a power wire or are they powered over the ethernet wire?
Asked 5 years ago by Bdog.
- Answer No, they are not "powered over the ethernet wire" because they do not use ethernet cable. These use the older BNC cables (think round plugs). The BNC cables are harder to run as they are bigger than an ethernet cable and A LOT bigger than an ethernet cable before the plug is attached. Its very misleading of them to not include the rear picture of the DVR which would have easily tipped you off to this not using POE.

QuestionIs it possible to add additional cameras, either wired or wireless?
Asked 5 years ago by camera.
- Answer The product is billed as an "8-Channel, 4-Camera" system. Therefore you should be able to buy 4 more cameras to add to the system. Ridiculously, the official product images do not show the rear panel, but a customer uploaded one, from which you can indeed confirm it is an 8-channel system.

QuestionI have installed all 4 cameras and the system works fine. One camera, however, does not show in color at night and only shows black and white. Is this a defective camera and can I exchange just the one camera only?
Asked 4 years ago by Thomas.
- Answer The camera showing black and white is in night vision mode. Your other three cameras are receiving enough ambient light at night to fool them into thinking it's daylight so they show in color. I have 1 of 6 with color at night until the back yard light is turned off, then it too is black and white.

QuestionCan a PoE to BNC Adapter be used on these, like the AimHD Passive Video/Power Balun - BNC to RJ45 Long Distance Transceiver. BNC Male Adapter for Full Surveillance Camera System? Ran my Ethernet in conduit already. What is voltage & wattage of a camera?
Asked 4 years ago by RetiredTech.
- Answer If you already have Ethernet cables run I would recommend going to a NVR system vs trying to adapt the cabling to this system. The NVR systems are more expensive but you are getting newer technology and a better system. If you decide to go with this system the cameras supplied are C882DA. You can look up the specs on Lorex.com but I believe they are Power Requirements 12 V DC +/- 10%; Power Consumption (max) 430mA / 5.2W.
