Can additional cameras be added onto the system as necessary? Can this system be integrated with another system at a diff local & monitored together?

My package came with 8 cameras. I bought 2 more cameras about a month later. I installed one of them so I didnt have a blank spot on my monitor. I have it set up to view 9 cameras at once. 3 on top 3 in the middle and 3 on the bottom. I found I really don't need 10 cameras but have an extra one in case one dies on me or I decide I need it at some point. Not sure if that abswered your question or not. Its a 16 channel system so you can use 1 camera or 4 or 8 or buy enough to put 16 up. More than 16 cameras for this system I don't know. As far as intergrate it with another system. That's a question I cant answer. My package came with 8 cameras. I bought 2 more cameras about a month later. I installed one of them so I didnt have a blank spot on my monitor.

I believe this system has the capacity for 16 total cameras. Mine came with 12 and I can still expand and add four more. I simply do not need to add any more as the twelve that are already installed cover my property very well.

These cameras are just an add on to a dvr system. They can not be used stand alone. I had this hooked up to my lorex dvr system. But to be honest this camera is junk.

Yes. You can add at least 1 more camera (I have two cameras) and you can toggle between the two on the monitor. But, you can only have one monitor. I tried getting a second so that two people in two different rooms can monitor, but it only supports one monitor.

Yes, you can. The system is ready to operate, just connect the cameras. You can set up the system with the remote control and/or mouse provided.

it could be your only camera but you still need the base station which can up to 5 camera's associated with it

no u will not be able to add anymore to that system now you have to get another master camera and start again but they will all be under one account so all you have to do is pick the site and go

I concur with the others. The 'system' is hard wired. You may 'view' through a wireless device via the Internet, if supported. The cameras are NOT wireless.

Yes you can add any camera you want. It has a standard video input for a camera.

You can use up to 4 additional cameras, BUT, the monitor does not feature a SCAN feature like other baby monitors do. You have to manually select which camera you want to observe. I purchased 2 monitor sets and was forced to return them because of the lack of this key feature.

The 8 channel you can add up to four additional cameras. Its' a great system.

Actually I didn't try connecting cameras other than the ones that came with the system, but I think that any camera with the same connection type would work

Yes you can. Then you have the choice to toggle between cameras on your monitor or you can have it "scan" back and forth between them both. We like ours. Good luck.

Yes -- you can purchase additional cameras from Amazon. I purchased the system configuration that includes the Monitor and 2 cameras. I purchase one additional camera later from Amazon and am considering purchasing another camera.

All u have to do is to switch on the second/additional camera then it will be added automatically to your monitor. Then, for viewing it, on the backside of the monitor u will find a switch that has 4 clicks (1 to 4), the first camera will be assigned automatically to number "1". The second one will be for number "2", just switch it to number "2" and then you will be able to view the additional installed Camera :-). Best Regards, Khalid Aljowder

Can this camera be used standalone, or must it be part of a security system? I am looking for a camera to watch two pieces of property (two cameras) and alert me via text/email, so I can decide whether to call police or not. Both locations have access to router

Any dvr is swappable with another dvr. The app for defender system only let's you see one camera at a time. Really depends on your needs.
