is this camera hard to set up and does it have a locking mechanism ( a security feature so no-one can tamper with it)

The camera is very easy to set up. All the setup is dome with switches. No security. Russell

Extremely easy to set up. There is a way to lock it but you need to buy the lock separately.

Hello Yes, you can see that, but i recomend you download an app from appstore called BLUEIRIS. It is the fastest smartphone aplication for this kind of security camera.

Yes it's very easy to set. Just follow the instructions to connect it. This is a very high quality video camera, I use it to shoot short films with. I just hook it up to an external monitor so I can see what I am filming. I shot this film with it. "http://youtu.be/sUNDK7xrcqg". I hope this helps. Dale

No locking device. Security is a bit of a concern, but has not been a problem yet.

Yes, the camera works great for security because the infrared flash cannot be seen by humans. It is completely invisible.

It's not hard to connect the camera but you need to be decent on pulling wire.. as you will depending on your hous need to run wire from the camera connection point to the recorder which most of your wire will be in attic and walls.

I actually really love this little camera. There are virtually no instructions but if you play with it some, you can get it to do many cool things. Customer Service is difficult. They would always respond, but could not always help me because of the language barrier. The alerts were one of the most difficult things to set up. I had to play with it for quite a while. I was able to get it to email me. If you have a "phone" email address with your phone number, you should be able to use that to send you a text instead of an email, but I have never configured it that way. I did not really have a need for motion detection. Good luck.

Mine is suppose to lock but does not. Do not buy if you are looking for security.

Software is included. It was either on a disk or built into the camera, can't remember... you'll login to the system over your local network and set it up.as far as updating firmware or software, I have had zero luck. If you figure it out please post

Yes, however this camera is very simple and easy to use so I never looked at it. Not a lot of features to figure out.

I am sorry to say I haven't yet uploaded anything with this camera to my computer. But.....I did have another one just like it (that I lost) and it was easy to do. Just plugged it in and the camera and computer sorta walked you through the entire process.

I have the camera for 2 days and I am pleased with it. It has many options and is somewhat complicated to use. I would go on the forums on dprerview.com before you pick a camera

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.

It's easy to use kept on auto but it has many features/capabilities that require high learning curve for one not versed on features. Also, given compactness of camera, controls are tiny and somewhat awkward to access.

Sorry I overlooked this request for so long. My hubby said it takes a padlock so it should take a cable. He also said search for the stealth cam lock box. He purchased one and it works well. We now have 3 of these cameras. Pleased with product although night pictures could be better.

It's a bit more technical to setup, but has a lot of great options, which is ContaCam. You can setup zone based motion detection, various recording options and one of the coolest features is it allows you setup a web server where you can access your entire camera network from the web including seeing recorded motion detection clips, or real-time view of the cameras. The developer who created it allows anyone to download for free and he as some great tutorials on how to set up your cameras if you aren't sure how.
