How does one physically feed a number of camera outputs into the computer? Do they feed into a DVR and then from that into the computer?

Cameras are scanned for with foscam software on DVD comes w/camera. Must be direct connect to router. Scan provides IP address. Then you can do wireless or hard wire after that. Input IP address into Blue Iris console screen option. I have 4 connected (3 wired, 1 wireless) and all work fine.

If they are CCTV / analog cameras, then you need to get a capture card, otherwise if they are IP camera its all done through a single internet / CAT5 cable

The Foscam cameras are all wireless. You use a supplied Ethernet cable to configure each one and then connect to them by name/ip address over the network once the wireless configuration has been set.

I don't remember about this particular camera, but typically when connected to a computer via usb cable the camera will show up as another drive on the computer. The files can then be deleted (or copied) from that "drive" using most any file or picture viewing program. "My computer" would probably be the simplest way.

The cable does carry power to the cameras, but not into the DVR itself. The cable splits by the DVR and there is a separate adapter for the power.

The cameras plugs into an electrical outlet which becomes the "direct connection" to your computer.

You will need to plug the camera into a standard outlet. I have the supplied reciever plugged into a dvr that was supplied with a diff. 4 camera "wired" kit.

No this is just a camera. If you have a video capture card on your computer you can record on your computer. I bought a Q-see DVR and it records on it's own hard drive or on a separate computer using the software that came with the system.

The camera can be hooked to a dvr card if one is installed on the computer. It can also be hooked up to a dvr security system.

Ok first of all do you have digital video recorder? These wires are to connect you camera to you Dvr. If you don't have a Dvr these are not for you. To catch just one area you can buy many wireless cameras and connect you computer wirelesly and setup recording scadule. Normally they comes with free tech support for limited time. They will wAlk you through.

Just monitor. And monitor must be connected to dvr with rca or vga or hdmi connector

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.

I use an Mac application called EvoCam. It gathers up the output from four different cameras and presents them all on one screen. It can actually handle more cameras than that; it can act as a web server; it does recording on a schedule, and so on and so forth.More generally, the right solution is going to depend on the underlying hardware and operating system. There are multiple applications with similar capabilities for almost everything.

no, camera only. Usually the power supplies will come with the dvr kit if you bought one or a la carte it will be one supply for all of your cameras (i.e. 8 camera setup will have one transformer with 8 outputs to connect 8 cameras).

Well if you want to keep an archive of things that the camera sees you will need a DVR. The monitor or TV yes you do if you want to see what the camera saw. What do you think?

You can use software such as "ispy" to record multi cameras to the hard drive.

Each camera has a power supply which plugs into the dvr. The dvr then plugs into the wall.

You need to capture video from the camera to computer. There is a lot of devices to do that, for example USB CAPTURE VIDEO.

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.
