Yes. I have mine connected that way in my network closet and it stays on all the time.

Yes, I have mine hooked up to my television, so when my dog is barking I can check out what's going on.

yes, you can view live or view what was recorded on your dvr. Cameras included with this set are noticeably clearer than the entry level zmodo system. if your tv has vga input, you can also connect your zmodo dvr to your tv.

Absolutely not. Q-See has software for Android and iPhone that can be downloaded from the app-store or GooglePlay so you can view your live footage as well as recording from the application. You can even change settings remotely and save them back to the system. Of course all of this is only possible if your system is connected to your internal network. you will however initially need a monitor to set up the DVR and after that you do not need a keyboard, mouse or monitor.

The can be viewed in real time via a monitor or television, if you run audio, it can only be heard in playback (or at least as far as I can tell)

As others have said, it depends on the DVR. Usually if the DVR can be connected to a network, you can make the necessary adjustments on your router (e.g. port forwarding) make make the DVR "internet visible". There are dozens of free apps for viewing live video streams.

No this is just a camera. If you have a video capture card on your computer you can record on your computer. I bought a Q-see DVR and it records on it's own hard drive or on a separate computer using the software that came with the system.

As long as you have a supported video input and a high speed internet, you need a computer with a video out option on it. TV to TV wont work. I watch my home FIOS DVR in Baltimore when I travel. The quality depends on the speed of your internet connection. I travel to many parts of the country and mostly view on my US Cellular phone. The faster the connection, the better it works. Best purchase I have made in a long time.

Try Netviewer. (Google it.) It worked fine for Win7 where Web Client for DVR would not.

Ours are hooked up to a DVR- it is part of our security system. I don't think that you can hook them up to a monitor or television.

It depends on the brand of your DVR go to that website and log in and you should be able to view it there as well

The VGA port on this device should be for a computer monitor itself; to connect to a computer you'll need a video input card on your computer and a BNC to Component cable. Please note that it will only display the video feed from the DVR to your computer and will not allow remote administration of the device.

I'm not sure I understand your question..does it have to be connected to a DVR all the time for what?? To be able to view? No but it needs to be connected to something in order to be viewed

If you connect a USB cable from a computer or the appropriate DVR you can stream video to the TV. I chose this model for that reason. It provides the option of connecting the latest video option for streaming, rather than being limited to what is built in to the TV.

Hi, you will need to have a pc which is compatible with the dvr capture card to make it work. Irene

Unless you can run a DVR through a computer, they don't use DVR. they use IP addressed and VPN. You can watch from your phone or computer. I can monitor from my office everyday.

As long as the monitor has an HDMI port you can connect them and view it live.It also comes with a remote so you can start recording video whenever the action starts.

I have a cheap video card that has DVI and VGA plus two monitors so I just hook the VGA to the DVR and if I want to see the camera I switch from the computer to the DVR monitor on VGA dose that make sense to you?

The receiver hooks to the monitor and you might have to go to radio shack to get an adapter so it will fit your monitor. But as far as I know it doesn't hook to a dvr.
