nvr with ip and analog/wifi cameras?

[ggsmit 0]

three newbie questions from a home user: 

1. i have a 16 channel nvr, cat5 running to 8 ip cameras, i need to add two existing analog cameras to the mix. can i use passive video/power/audio baluns at the camera ends to feed power and data via cat5 to them and will i be able to view their video/audio as per the other 8 ip cameras?
2. will the analog video be ok for indoor home use?
3. can i run wifi video data from a wifi camera to my nvr via a router?

regards
gabriel

Hi …. No …. Not unless your nvr is hybrid 

you can’t directly add analog to iP system not with baluns

 

wifi camera to nvr ……. Wi-Fi cameras people get mixed up with cctv vs smart cameras…. Most smart cameras won’t allow nvr connection as there registered to a server (China)

Specific questions for you who have more practical knowledge about SWIFI-CAM cameras: How can I unlink a Swann SWIFI-CAM Wire-Free Wireless camera from the account it was created with?

Hi this is the problem with smart cameras use once and can’t reset

the reset on camera is only to reset password but you can only get it via the email used to create the account

the camera only works on its China server once registered only those credentials can be used

people need to understand how these crap smart cameras work
