Samsung SmartCam SNHP6410BN HD Pro Wireless Security Cam: Keep track of what goes on in your home, even when you're not there. This monitoring system lets you talk through your phone to anyone in your house, receive alerts when motion or noises are detected, and capture crystal-clear images in all lighting conditions.
A: No one can answer that question accurately because of the number of variables in play. Things like router type, strength, and location. The number, thickness, and materials of the walls and terrain attenuating the signals. Interference from other devices, weather, humidity, and on and on. You'd just have to try it.
A: Camera saves video to the optional micro SD you install into the underside of the camera. I purchased 64gb cards for all my cameras. There is a software setting that allows the camera to begin overwriting the oldest video once the card is full. The camera can be set for continuous recording. Which is a series of 5 min videos. Motion detection video happens like this: The camera constantly monitors for motion within the field dimensions you select. Once it detects motion above the sensitivity level you select, it records the 5 seconds of video preceding the motion event and then records another 25 seconds for a total of 30 seconds of video per event. If motion is still occurring the camera immediately records another 30 second event and so on.
Q: Can this cam be used outdoors
A: I have three cameras under the eve of my roof. I have not had any issues so far and it has been over a year now. I would not recommend this if you live in Florida or areas where you get tropical storms where the rain goes sideways.
Q: Does camera have date time stamp if needed for legal proceedings?
A: You can enable OSD (on screen display) option from the general settings menu.
Q: How many cameras can be used on the same wifi network in the same home?
A: I believe it was up to 10 total to each account you set up for free. So you could have more than ten you would just need to set up a separate account. However i think most people would start to have wireless issue with Bandwidth beyond 10.
Q: Does this video camera require a service fee to receive ISO notification and video feeds
A: No fee and this is a really good feature about the Samsung camera, in addition to very good quality views and sound. You have to register with the Samsung CAMERA web site (not the general Samsung site) to get going, even if you use a smartphone to do all your viewing. You will have to use Microsoft's Internet Explorer since the site requires you download webviewer.exe (which does not work on Google Chrome or Chrome laptops). Each camera has to be registered, given its own name and password.
Q: Is the camera completely wireless?
A: The camera has to be connected to a power source (outlet). It comes with a very long cord. It connects wirelessly to your internet and you control it through an application. We have never had difficulty connecting remotely when traveling. We have lost service to our internet and been able to reconnect later without any rebooting required.
A: The video is in color when there is sufficient light (daylight or most normal room lighting). When the light drops too low, the camera switches to black & white night vision mode and turns on its infrared illuminator. The IR has a useful range of about 15-20 feet.
