This system is not compatible with Mac OSX Sierra. You can only use the web client with Internet Explorer on a windows PC. The phone app does work well but you cannot adjust a lot of the settings. So if you don’t have a PC, you’ll need a monitor and mouse to set it up and play with the settings.

I just bought one and set it up over the weekend (before I saw it posted here).

Do the cameras have to be hard-wired to the DVR or do they transmit their images wirelessly? How are the cameras powered? Do they run with batteries or do you have to have an AC power supply nearby?

5

My question also. Do the cameras have to be hard-wired to the DVR or do they transmit their images wirelessly?

6

Cameras are hard wired to the DVR. They use a BNC type connector. The cable provides power and carrier the video signal. At each end the cable splits into two connectors…one for power and one for video.

I use BlueIris since I have 3 different types of cameras around my house (wireless and wired). If I was in a “MAC” house, I would pickup a referb’d Win7-10 laptop and us it for your security camera monitoring system.

Have you tried the WiseView App? It’s free for both IOS and Droid systems and is provided by the company who owns the security camera part of Samsung (see below). No adds. And it’s the one all the samsung sec cam users suggest. I have both samsung, DLink wireless and a Logitech Alert cameras and Wiseview can access them all.

Now the bad news. Hanwha Techwin purchased Samsungs security camera devision back in 2015 but said it would keep the Samsung security name. So, it’s known as Samsung Techwin.

Does anybody know how many feet the camera records in daylight?

9

What is the length of the cables? I’m wondering how far away the cameras can be installed from the DVR.

10

It says 60 foot cables in the specs

FYI, any of the camera systems that rely on Internet Explorer are largely garbage. I’ve explored several brands, and I would say avoid them at all costs. Using an ActiveX plug-in is a half-assed shortcut. Go for a brand that has decent software, it’s the only way you’ll be happy in the long run.

12

What brand would that be? I agree about the plug in and even phone apps are all not the same. But out of box software for most is not the best solution. I’ve been using Blueiris but it has a learning curve and IMO, just so so.

13

The units will be hardwired to the DVR. These cams are not wireless.

14

100ft max

15

Yeah, which of these DVR/security things have a web client that doesn’t require a Chinese ActiveX plug-in? Flir/Lorex’ does; I have one.

At least the FLIR thing has a Mac program called FLIR Cloud Client one can use to access the system, and the iOS app is actually OK.

I think that this sort of system, with a DVR box connected to some number of wired cameras, is going away. WiFi cameras, like the Netgear Arlo, are a lot easier to set up and use, although they’re more expensive (now).

16

This is an awesome buy for keeping an eye on my home, but if J get it, I’m secretly hoping to catch cats having secret meetings in my backyard plotting to overtake mankind.

17

It says 1080p but, if you figger on eight cameras at 1080p, that’s 8640p! One will be able to see microbes on fibers and … other scientific stuff like that. Science.
