A:AnswerYes the mobile app works best when viewing live its the default setting. If you go to the alarm setting section in the DVR you can turn on email alerts and time of day you want to recieve them also alerts can be sent to more than one address.
A:AnswerYou will have to add an additional cable and other equipment to your rig. It will record audio within the video it records as long as the proper mic and cabling is installed.
A:AnswerThe resolution of the camera is set and can not be changed. Determining your hours of video depends on if you are recording continuously or just recording evens when they occur. If you are just recording motion from the camera you can expect it to last 90+days. If you are recording 24hrs a day, you can expect the hard drive to be filled in around 30days. There is no need to record continuously in my opinion. You can still have live coverage and view the video from your phone or laptop and only record events based off of how you set your alerts.
A:AnswerYes. As I recall, the initial set prompts you to set a password. There is a onscreen keyboard you navigate on to select letters using the provided mouse, can mix and match cases and numbers and special characters
A:AnswerYou will need to connect your internet cable directly to the device. There is no need for a long cable. If your setup for your camera system is not near your device, all you need to do is purchase a wifi extender or router and plug your DVR directly into it.

A:AnswerYes. The IR is lit at night or anytime the light level is low enough to engage the night vision for example a garage that has the lights off. Each camera will act independent from each other. On my own house I can have the East side kick on night view before the West due to the sun or amount of light.
