If I have too far away camera, what Ubiquiti products do I need to run along with the camera to connect to this NVR? NanoStation M5, Switch &amp; Routers?

If the camera is in the same network (bridge) of the NVR you can use any equipment from any manufacturer you want. If the camera is in a different network, you have to do a port forward as follows: The Following ports are used on airVision host: - 1935, by user, RTMP (Video) - 7443, by user, HTTPS - 7080, by user, HTTP - 123, by AIRCAM, UDP (NTP time server) The Following ports are used on airCams: - 554, by airVision, RTSP - 22, by airVision, SSH

Yes. Setup (including adding the extra camera to the system and getting synced to the app) was easy. I did not have the problem that another responder reported; my system works without being hard wired into the router. The app is a bit flaky, but it does allow you to toggle between cameras.

These cameras seem to be pretty specific and proprietary. I don't know what other standard NVR software you have in mind, but I suspect you'd have real trouble trying to create a connection to NVR software that is assuming a basic web cam.

I initially connected the camera to set it up in terms of changing the password, setting up the wireless info, port forwarding and recording. After that you can place it anywhere within range. I also changed something in the router to increase the ms in which the signal was sent from my router which increased range and the quality of the recordings.

Use Cat5 Patch cable or similar wire just cut off the connectors and use two wires out of the 5 or 6 to connect the plus and minus connections between the dvr and the camera.

(1) Cheapest solution: 1 x NanoStation M2 Loco. Turn airMAX off. Set to 20MHz. Mount outside of house, point at shop. (2) Fancier solution: 2 x NanoStation M5 loco. Setup up WDS bridge. One on house, one on shop. Point at eachother. Hook the shop one to: 1 x UniFi UAP. Put the UAP indoors, hook it to the M5 that's on outside of shop. (3) Uber Solution: 2 x NBE-M5-16. Set up as WDS bridge. One on house, one on shop. Point at eachother. Hook shop one to: 1 x UAP-Pro. Put UAP-Pro indoors, hook the M5-16 outside of shop.

Sorry for the delay in answering you...things have been a bit off track because of the long Holiday weekendHere is the answer from our technical people.You need 1 unit for 4 cameras. PoE provides Power and Data for camera up to 300 feet.Hope that helps,John Duncan1-888-445-8375

Yes it will work you have to have an Adapter Bnc to cat5 or 6 either is fine The Bnc to your camera and cat 5 adapter to your nvr

That might be a far distance. You connect the camera to a box to an outlet. The box sends the info wirelessly to another box connected to the router. From there, it goes into their server to your account. I think it's too far to send the info. I think it's better to be hard wired if it's that far away and that distance to be covered.

The cameras I'm using are IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet 48vDC. Not sure if this is common or not. It's what I have.

I have 4 cameras going to a DVR and it connects to my router. I use my iPhone to connect through the DVR.

Not without additional hardware. This system has a hardwire LAN port only (http://www.simplymonitored.com/index.php/product/nvr-models/nvr-5004-4p). With that said I would assume you could purchase an inexpensive wireless bridge/router to connect to your wireless network at the location needed for the security box and just plug the hardwire to an extra port on the new router.

I also inquired of an online manual and the answer is 'no, there is not.' It has a disk that walks you through the set up. It should be fine for your cameras, it versatile with many, but it's always best to hard wire them with cat 5 instead of wireless. I also tried to do wireless from the NVR to my router (you will need a wireless chipset to plug into the NVR - optional), but didn't have much luck that's why I hardwired to a Cisco LAN switch. It does capture when you use an external hard drive = 1TB

Its a pain but you can upgrade it to unifi through ssh connection and some work. I gave up with a bit of trying and trouble getting support to understand my questions.Once you do this you must make sure your cameras are also on unfi as well. You loose a feature or two but it fixes some issue with monitoring and latency.

Depends a little on your background Johnny. If you understand basic networking, IP addresses and have perhaps installed your home router and configured the firewall for a game console this should be relatively easy. If everything I just typed seems foreign to you this will probably be a pain. In the later case I suggest a home unit from someone like DLink, Netgear, FosCam etc. This camera is better if you are trying to setup a camera network. Amongst other IP Cameras of similar functionality I though the network setup for the Hikvision was straight forward and understandable.

Same problem here. It seems now you can only manage the camera from the same network/lan/wlan, meaning the computer or your cell phone and the camera need to connect to the same router at home.

The Ethernet port you plug your camera into must be a (POE port) which can be on your DVR already, or you can use a POE switch which has designated ports for your cameras which will provide power for them.
