I decided to install the Acculenz camera with WIFI to see how it works. It actually does quite well for my simple requirements. The camera is always on but it records to the SD card only when it recognizes an evert - human moving, car moving, etc, no cats. I get alerts when there is a recording...

Thanks. I guess I got persuaded by Wi-Fi then found I could hard wire it. This discussion has been most helpful and appreciated for the expertise. I'll see about doing what you suggest.

Sorry, I did not open the link.

Then I am confused as it states "WiFi" camera. There is an antenna.

My present CCTV system is not on all the time, only when we leave house for extended time. If I need to see video history I have to pull out the spare monitor and plug it in to the DVR. I have asked the Amazon community about accessing the video. If there is no video history access then why use...

I went to Amazon questions on the camera and saw this: "…IMPORTANT TO KNOW: When using SD card, this camera will not retain the recording and will wipe everything clean the next day if you don't schedule,One would think it would just automatically retain the recordings on the SD card, but NO.…"

There is a phone APP to download that will allow camera settings. I don't know if that will work on Win11 computer.

The camera manual states format SD card to FAT32 or exFAT

There is no need to constantly monitor the camera feed. I will only need to access the SD if there is a security issue and figure I can remove it and play on my computer. Probably once in a while I'll want to observe the camera's live view from my computer network. Yes

The IP camera has a 256GB Micro SD, so I assume I don't need to connect with my DVR and can connect the directly to my router with the RG-45?

Sorry, yes the cable is COAX RG-6 with BNC connectors. The IP camera's "Network Cable" is "Cat5E 4 pairs TIA /EIA-568-B.2 ISO/IEC 11801 Patch Cord"

Hi all, first post. I have been using a CCTV outdoor camera for years and now want to convert to an IP Camera. The existing outdoor camera is BNC for which I have a cable running from the camera to a DVR in my office. The new IP camera can run on WIFI with an option of an HDMI cable, but I...
