  1. Hi All, I'm completely new to the security camera/Dvr, and wireless market. I've searched the web trying to get information on different setups, reviews and such, with very little success. It seems there are thousands of products and the reviews out there are lacking details. I've looked into a D1/ Dvr combo, as well as ip cam/nvr combo information. There is just too much noise online and not enough clear information for someone that has no experience with any of that. I have a few questions, maybe someone can share their experience and expertise: - I was hoping to find information about how to set up an ip wireless camera, and use a tablet with an app to record when needed. As i understand, i could also use a wired ip camera with a wireless router or port/switch and also use a tablet with a dvr app. The idea is to avoid spending money on a dvr- that only offers limited resolution, and the operating and set up learning curve is pretty steep. Also wireless dvr options out there offer very poor fps performance. Of course what i'm describing is entry level/ consumer products from lorex, swan, night owl, and such. As i understand it, right now, an inexpensive ip wireless camera would offer great picture quality, and the wifi bandwith would be a nice fit together with a tablet, but i cannot find any information on the limitations of such a combination. I'm imagining such a system would have a few advantages, such as: -each component can be exchanged in case of failure, ( such as a router, camera, and tablet) -wireless camera can be placed anywhere, and moved around -with a tablet app dvr set up, the whole system could be turned on and off when needed, and would be super easy to use and operate by a person not technically inclined (once properly set up- of course). -wireless range could be adjusted/improved via wireless extenders. -viewing the recorded footage from a wifi tablet would be easier and more convenient than having a stand alone dvr/nvr location. I have read that wifi tablets have a very limited range when it comes to their wireless bandwidth performance, but i would like to know if that would be a problem, since from what i've read ip cameras do not need a lot of bandwidth. ( I would not be using full hd resolution, more like 720p at most- also this would be a one camera setup). Please feel free to share your knowledge on these variables, and what is possible and what is a problem in such a setup. (if i missed specifics that affect this setup, please let me know and i will clarify my priories and goals for this setup) Thanks in advance.
