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.
I understand the Yale DVR can be upgraded to 4TB.
How is this done and is it possible to buy the DVR already upgraded.

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.
If a Yale DVR has 4 channels and 4 external wired cameras attached, would that mean that no IP cameras could then be attached? Ie. Do IP cameras occupy one of the 4 or 8 channels?
steve, Manchester
IP or Wifi cameras do not occupy the channels of the system. You can have a maximum of 2 IP or Wifi cameras linked in addition to any wired cameras.
