Can you get cameras that also record audio. If not, what type of microphone is suitable?
D. Allday, Guisborough
The Arlo Pro Smart Security System with 4 Cameras - VMS4430 has a two way microphone. However, if you require a wired CCTV kit, you can purchase an external microphone from most electrical stores which will plug direct into the DVR box.

You are able to view a live feed or recorded footage via the Yale Smart Living App. All alerts are sent and managed via the App. The hybrid DVR accepts both standard analogue and IP Network cameras, not just Yale cameras. All Yale Wireless Smart Home Alarms can be used with the same App as this CCTV kit.

I’m thinking of buying the 8 channel, 4 camera system. Does the DVR have to be hard wired into my router to enable the mobile app function.
Steve Crosby , Manchester
The DVR for this system has to be wired to your router using the ethernet cable provided. This will enable remote viewing from your SmartPhone via the app. (iOS 9.0 and above or Android 4.4 and above).

Can you back up the video content over a network? I'm looking to have daily/weekly back ups to a home server.

I understand the Yale DVR can be upgraded to 4TB.
How is this done and is it possible to buy the DVR already upgraded.
John Roberts, Nether Stowey
You would have to purchase a new hard drive, however please note that if the existing hard drive is removed within the 2 year manufacturers warranty the warranty would then be be voided.

I've just bought the Yale smart home alarm from you. I'm interested in the Yale 2 camera wireless external camera system but I want it to work without alerting me on internet because I'd be getting constant alerts from postmen and harmless callers when I'm out. Will it work and record to DVR box without alerting me if I want? Can it record to the cloud if I want for future recall?
M Newman, Uppingham
Notifications can be disabled at any time, unfortunately any saved data would be recorded on the DVR box as it is not compatible with any cloud based storage service.

What are the differences between the SC-8C-4ABFX and the older model Y804A-HD1080? Is it a more superior system? Also can you run 4 wired and 2 wireless cameras with this?
