Adding a camera to an existing system? Make sure you get the right one!
As of January 1st, 2018 SCW sells two lines of IP cameras, the 2018 line which we call the Admiral line and the previous line which we call Vanguard line. These two lines have different manufacturing sources and completely different software. An easy analogy would be like a Mac or a PC as far as software.
Due to the fact that they are on two totally different software platforms it is best to stick with your software platform for the best compatibility. Determining which NVR you have is the best way of determining which cameras are best.
