No, any type of camera will work. regardless of resolution or how many TVL or FPS

No, analog camera will work just fine. Most IP cameras will work but you may have to install drivers if they are not Geovision branded.

the brand of cameras makes no difference all cameras hook up with bnc connectors to the geo vision card check geovision web site for a list of supported ip cameras

No fee. You just set up a D-Link account on their website and link the camera to it. Then you can view the feed from another computer, iPhone, or iPad. It's great.

Yes purchase the 16 cameras. It will allow for extras in case one or more get hit by a voltage strike, or just burn out.

You can usually find a security system installer or an electrician to so the installation but you will have to ask them for a price quote. I did the install myself. It was hard to run the camera cables through the attic but.you can do it yourself if you are so inclined.

Not sure if you can get extra camera mounting clips. Probably if you go directly to the mfg, they might be available.

I use a great free program called "iSpy". I have 2 pairs of different branded cameras working on iSpy at the same time. From what I understand, you can have many more than that. The list of cameras this software supports is huge. I'd say you'd have a hard time finding a camera not supported. It does take a little reading to understand, but there are a ton of youtube and other help guides out there. Once you get it set up and running, I'd also recommend Google Chrome's new Remote Desktop. I use this to check on the camera's/house when I'm away from home on my phone. I used to use TeamViewer, but Chrome Remote Desktop has been a much better experience. All of this software is free and iSpy is CONSTANTLY being improved upon and updated. The team of people working on iSpy are some truly talented people.

Depends upon the retailer. They offer the camera, battery and charger as a basic unit. You can add most any lens yoou wish.

no u will not be able to add anymore to that system now you have to get another master camera and start again but they will all be under one account so all you have to do is pick the site and go

not sure how much someone would charge. I installed my system myself. I only used 7 cameras now. It took me about 8 hoursbut had to make runs from the attic to the 2nd floor for 4 cameras and 3 from the first floor to the 2nd floor where I havethe recorder. It work great and I like being able to check it from my smart phone anywhere. If a pro does it they make take half the time but the cost I would think could be $80 an hour I think.Mike G

I think they will ask you to pay for the camera and they usually raises your monthly charge but it really dependes,I would ask them first.

I feel like you are asking if the cameras need to be at the same house or property? The answer is yes, they do. We do like ours, have 3 cameras and plan to add 1 more. However will be checking out Anthony's response of monitoring through your cell phone or camera, very cool.

Totally up to you. If you purchase a new camera from here, it is very easy to install.

No I use the software that came with the camera - I also have an app for my Andriod phone that I use IP Camera Viewer it is free for up to 6 cameras. I liked it so much I purchased it for 4.99 - well worth it

No, you need to use the charger that came with the camera or buy a 3rd party one, which are great.

Yes it is the same camera as the Comcast charge on their website for $129. I bought 4 of this and installed myself. On the Comcast website there is a video tutorial on how to self install this camera. You can install up to six camera according to the video tutorial.
