While on vacation several states away, will I still be able to watch the footage with the camera set up in my house? If so, how do I do this?

Hi, that is the whole point of this camera, being able to watch from anywhere. Camera just needs to connect to your router wired or wireless wifi (internet service required) and you can watch the camera from a smart phone, tablet or PC from where ever there would be 3G, 4G or Wifi.

Yes you just need a DVR that has the capabilities to do it. There is also an app that allows you to see live from your phone.

The supplied DVR and camera combination will work fine without an internet connection. However you will have to supply a monitor to view the recordings or live video feeds.

provided you only want to access it from within your home network do not bother with Port Forwarding etc. If however you wish to be able to view the cam via the internet for example when your on vacation you will need to Forward the Ports via your router personally from a security stand point I avoid things like Port Forwarding as they open your home network up to the web and potential vulnerabilities that and it's stupidly easy to do a google search for ip cameras that are accessible via the internet.

Sort of yes. The cameras will be available on your LAN. You have to add them to your DVD or forward them through the internet if you want to view them on a smartphone or computer via WAN. You could also view them over the LAN as well I suppose. It would be a good idea to assign a LAN address for the cameras on your router.

Absolutely! Download iSpy video surveillance software (free - google it), Set up your camera on your computer or home network. No need to be on line unless you want to remote view (offsite) your camera.I have six cameras set up this way with no internet access.

Sometimes ...It depends on the remote control features which are supported for your DVR. I have a TIVO, and can watch recorded programs on my TIVO from my PC. From my android phone I have difficulty starting a recorded program, but once started, I have little control other than returning to the menu.

There are quite a few different kind of solutions, but the general principle is the same. This camera has no on-board storage for recording, so you must use either a dedicated NVR (Network Video Recorder) device or a computer that is on 24/7 that's available to record onto. If you use a computer, you can use one of many NVR software solutions out there - some free, some not. I've heard good things about Blue Iris, GeniusVision Community Edition (free and works well), and Milestone XProtect which has a free version for up to 8 cameras and a 5 day recording limit. I'm not familiar with the others, but I know Milestone has a mobile app for Android and iPhone. If you don't wish to record, you can probably set up your router to port-forward HTTP requests to your cameras' IP addresses so you can bring up your cameras' web pages over the internet. You could then use the cameras' webpages to view the live video feeds. This would only be live viewing - no recording, and probably won't work on mobile devices since, I believe, the Hikvision camera live view window requires a plugin to be installed. Whichever option you choose, it won't be a simple plug-n-play solution.

No, not on the camera itself. However, since the videos can be downloaded to your computer, if you've got software that will do slo-mo you can do it there.

I'm not sure I understand your question..does it have to be connected to a DVR all the time for what?? To be able to view? No but it needs to be connected to something in order to be viewed

As long as you have a supported video input and a high speed internet, you need a computer with a video out option on it. TV to TV wont work. I watch my home FIOS DVR in Baltimore when I travel. The quality depends on the speed of your internet connection. I travel to many parts of the country and mostly view on my US Cellular phone. The faster the connection, the better it works. Best purchase I have made in a long time.

Thanks for your good question! Yes, you can remotely access the camera to view the camera's live and also watch videos on the SD card . The NC-239WF HD 1080P is a very flexible network camera. You have two ways in which you can remotely view the camera's live on different devices. For PC/ Mac, We provide the free program "Camera Live". For iPhone and Android smart phone , we provide free app "Anyscene" from GooglePlay and iPhone app store. The Camera Live program and Anyscene app will auto detect cameras that are on the same network as your computer/smart phone for initial setup. Ensure the camera is plugged in to the same router/network switch that your computer/ smart phone are connected to. Once added to the CameraLive program and Anyscene app, all that you need to do is to click that camera in the program to view the live video from the camera. Once you get the camera working with your computer with the CameraLive program and your smart phone with Anyscene app, then you can then take your PC or Mac, smart phone to another place with an Internet connection (such as a McDonalds, office, hotel when travelling oversea), and view the camera's live video using the same procedure as if your computer was still right next to the camera. With the Anyscene app on your Android and iOS device, you can remotely playback the recording on the sd card . With the Camera Live program on your PC/ Mac , it temporarily doesn't support the remote playback on the sd card . This function can be available on Camera Live in July 2015. The second way is that you can get the camera's ip address and directly enter the ip address in browsers on your device , then view the camera's live and access the camera's web setting page to view the storage on micro SD card .

Do I need to have something else to view the video on this camera or can I just connect to a monitor and thats it? I dont want to record, just real time monitoring for my garage. What I want to do, is to have a camera wired to my room's tv, so whenever someone is getting close to my garage entrance, I can see from my tv, instead of going to the garage entrance.. will this work?
