Is this the way it works...camera lines hook to DVR and DVR plugs into the wall outlet. Any other wall outlet needed?

The Cameras also have to be plugged into a wall (unless you have battery or solar powered cameras) Maybe a surge protector for your camera's and your dvr.

You will need 4 outlets total 1 for dvr 2 for the cameras and 1 for monitor.

Power supply for the cameras goes thru the DVR, I would not think a DVR made by a different company would have the required power supply or internal wiring to support the cameras. I made my own cables using cat-5 wire and RJ-45 connectors, (i needed 200'+ cables) I used the 568B wiring config. On my cables. It worked just fine.

No. A "DVR" with Cat5 inputs is typically an NVR or Network Video Recorder, and would require IP cameras. Do some research online and make sure you are using the correct camera type to go with your "DVR".

That should work fine. Have you considered the higher resolution camera. Just make sure you have a Power Over Ethernet router or use the POE from the DVR. I have three cameras connect through a wireless bridge. That works great.

This is a mic and power cord. The jack is an RCA type jack. If your DVR has RCA type inputs, you would plug this into one of the audio inputs. There are usually two audio inputs (one white, one red) and a video input (yellow). I recommend getting a splitter and feeding both inputs with the same signal.)

Sergio,Any Ethernet cable will do. You don't have to use the cables supplied with the DVR. Category 5 ethernet cables will do, but I'd recommend Category 6 ethernet for better shielding and future camera improvements. We're really lucky we don't have to run both power and signal cables to the cameras. This unit uses something called POE or Power Over Ethernet to provide the power the camera needs.

Yes each camera has a cable to connect it to the dvr. I am not sure of the length of the cable as I have not hooked this system up yet. Maybe check the Lorex website to see if it will tell you the length of the cables included. (probably 60')

I'll have to double check DVR supply, but camera adapter was a 3-5 amp for 8 cameras, thinking DVR was a 3 amp power supply.

The camera is powered at the sorce of cvonnection to the DVR. It has a dual connector at both ends. One connector is for the video, the other coector for power from the DVR. BNC and RCA connector.

The cable does carry power to the cameras, but not into the DVR itself. The cable splits by the DVR and there is a separate adapter for the power.

There is nothing built in the dvr that would do it but there may be something you can buy from another company to connect to the network port but I have not checked into it. I will say that the wired network port is very stable and we use several of these in an industrial setting and have never had trouble accessing the DVR over the network when we need it. You would need to see if there is some wireless adapter somebody sells that can convert the network port to wireless but I do not know if they exist as I have never looked.

Not close to cameras now. But. If I remember correctly, cameras connect via 110V line to a single box which is then connected to router. Good luck.

it uses none. It is wifi wireless. Your DVR would have to support wifi for the camera to be added, but that is really not the point of this camera. It actually is a webserver on its own.

You do not need an outlet at each camera location. The cable that provides the video feed is paired with a power cable.

I only bought the DVR. The cameras are generally 12V AC. This what I installed to this DVR. I personally would not buy the pictured cameras. They are overpriced for no reason. Good luck.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Determine the location that has a power outlet within 6 feet I believe. Install the mounting hardware and mount the camera. Plug it in. The monitor/dvr will automatically sync with the camera once it is powered on.

Correct. There are two outlets on the end that are not controlled (always on) so they can be used for the DVR.Note that there is a delay (half minute or so) after the "master" item is turned off before the "controlled" items go off.
