Yes, as does all equipment when you connect it to a router, the router will "assign" the new device an IP address. Removing power will not erase the device's assigned IP address. The device which you connect to the internet (DSL modem or cable modem) is what you need to make sure has a static IP address. My DSL modem ( internet service through AT&T;) does NOT have a static IP address. During the summer lightning strikes will cause it to reset (reboot) and I have to identify the new IP address from home and then edit the IP address in the smartphone app to view the cameras. Yes, to the 2nd question as well. I use the IP cam viewer by Robert Chou. Yes, as does all equipment when you connect it to a router, the router will "assign" the new device an IP address.

Yes to all your questions.But you have to setup dynamic DNS on the device , so when power goes out it will notify the Internet, that the IP address has changed. I use dyndns.org.

Hi, it provide feature to do monitoring with camera using WiFi. I has 3 options - direct, indoor, outdoor. I checked direct and indoor and galaxy s3 and ipad (iOs7) - works great. You have to download everio sync2 soft. Then do some simple setting with you camera (connect to home router for indoor) and you can see camera image on your device. You can start recording and make picuters from phone or tablet. Very nice feature. For outdoor monitoring - you should have external static IP. Didn't try this option.

Personally, I have disconnected the NVR because it has been more of a hassle trying to get their software up and running as an isolated unit apart from my PC (the reason that I made the purchase). I have decided to Run ISpy freeware on my PC and use my 1TB hard drive to record any activity.

What online watching fee? The DVR acts as a server which you can access remotely via PC or mobile device. You just have to hook it up via a router and setup DDNS if you have a dynamic IP. (See my Amazon product review for setup details)

Yes it does, the "away" or remote viewing can use a web browser interface to access the cameras. I have a static IP address, but you can pay a small yearly fee for a DDNS account.

It can be used both ways. It is IP-based, so you can access it stand-alone using a web browser, or you can connect it to a computer-based DVR software, such as BlueIris, which knows how to "talk to" IP cameras.

I am not sure what is your question. I will explain my hook up. I have a cable (not a cable box in sight) that goes right into the DVR. From the DVR another wire goes into the TV. On my Samsung TV, I can switch Source to the DVR, and change channels on cable through the DVR, or I can switch Source to the Samsung TV, and watch cable directly there. I am guessing this answers your question as yes, you can plug the cable directly into the DVR. And because I do not even have a cable box in my house, I can record without a cable box and so you should be able to do so as well.

Internet is the only option for liveview through smartphone and computer. Hence, it will definitely work without internet if you just want to record on your DVR.

Yep. I made "the mistake"to check the box for "hiding the ipv4 address" and after that I cannot login again into syncthru web service. (stupid!) I will contact the samsung operators the next days and if I can resolve this I will post also here.

My DVR unit lasted just over a year, before I replaced it with an Samsung model. I would not recommend this Panasonic, which surprises me because I've never had problems with the brand before. I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question, b ut if your unit is new, I would recommend that you return it and get a different model.

I bought the ip cam viewer app and was able to set it up see it on the same network but once I leave the network it wont work. Something about the ip address not being static but always changing. I was unsuccessful in setting up the record either since I'm not an IT guy. I think unless you really know networking it's pretty complicated for a noob like myself. There are couple of free ip camera viewers out there so check it out. I'm able to view, pan, and tilt with the one I got. Just wish I knew how to take advantage of the full potential. Sorry I couldn't have been a better help.

The 2 1010 round cams I have disconnect also, My problam is the 1010n cams now will not connect to internet wifi had to run lan line to each, the other 1011n cams I have work fine.

Maybe they coukd help, sorry I wasn't able.

I guess that I need to have a static IP account(which I don't have). Thanks a lot for the response!!!

Internet is only required for remote viewing of the cameras. You can see the camera images without a monitor connected to the DVR unit through a web browser if you connected the DVR to your LAN, however the resolution is poor compared to using a high quality LCD monitor connected to the VCR. The beauty of this system is that you can see the cameras on a smartphone or a remote pc with Internet connectivity.

no they can't the SDC 9440BU is a 1080p full HD camera that sends a digital stream ( the SDE 3004N is analogue ) to the DVR via a RJ45 connection which looks like an ethernet port but is actually a UTP port exclusive to samsung this also means IP cameras do not work with samsungs UTP port although the look the same ( and use CAT 5e ethernet cable ) as a standard ethernet port.you would need a samsung 4200 / 5200 DVR to use a SDC 9440BU cctv camera

I was JUST reading through some of the reviews and one of the folks seemed to list this exact problem - though they were using a Tivo. It seems too similar an issue to be an anomaly: sadly the reviewer determined that after unplugging the drive and starting his DVR back up again, all of the problems vanished, leading him to the conclusion that it was the drive and NOT the DVR. Your best bet is to do the same - remove the drive and see if the DVR functions normally. If so, then you know the drive is faulty. Good luck!
