  1. Original supplier has now replied to my enquiry and informs me this machine will not support IPcameras. Hi Can I add a network [ip] camera to this machine? Slightly unusual situation where I use the above recorder at events, using a selection of different CV, AHD etc cameras and to date have found it to be an intuitive easy to use device. My question is regarding a future event where we are trying to get a camera a mile away [to monitor traffic] with several properties and 2 roads in between and we have Ubiquiti kit to provide a LAN link.

    My gut feeling is you don't need internet but I put my hands up and say I'm not an IT guy so I don't know, I guess others on here will chime in and give an accurate answer.

    What sort of distance are you trying to achieve? It was a cheap camera attached to a fairly standard 2.4GHz video sender style of unit which I plugged into a TV. I made up a battery pack with about 6 or 7 c size nicads to use it at fetes etc on a 3m pole to be able to see what's happening elsewhere on the site and regularly achieved up to 100m clear line of site, this easily comes down to 10m if obstructed by vehicles or people. Mine wasn't a waterproof camera, there are waterproof versions out there but in any case it isn't too difficult to make up a waterproof box. With VERY careful positioning I have achieved over 1Km with an ordinary 2.4GHz video sender system but that was exceptional. If you are using a pc to view this then why not put up a wifi router and use an ip camera but my experience is that 2.4GHz wifi have no better range than video senders but there is more versatility. This is not my field of expertise but I'm sure there are people on here who can help with that.

    I used to have a small camera with a 2.4GHz transmitter built in, which ran on a 7AH jelly battery for about 12 hours. It possibly came from CPC, try searching for things like baby monitor.
