Does it require to have a tv or a PC at all times, or do you only need to connect them as needed? Can I see the installation and operation instruction

you need a monitor to complete set up and to set configurations. you can then disconnect the monitor and view on your lap top

You will need two monitors the first time you set it up. one for your computer to set up the wi-fi feed and one to the box to complete the initial set up. After that you can disconnect the second monitor but I advise against it. It would be better to always have a monitor connected the box. On line you can only check a composite of the 4 cameras. You cannot see one camera at the time and you cannot check recordings. In order to do that you have to use the box hence you need a monitor connected to the box. I found out the hard way.

No, it doesn't. It can stand by itself. To view the cameras or playback you can hook it up to a standard VGA monitor, or you can view the cameras via a webpage served off the TVR. It does not have a connection for a TV (unless your TV has a VGA computer input).

1st you need the PC for the installation once completed the installation you need the tV to do some configuration and view all cameras on the screen to make sure they are working fine, then you can just disconnect the PC and TV and the system will still work and recored as you have configured.

I had a computer man hook up my pc to the TV. It works great. I had him do it as I am the worst electronic person in the galaxy. I wish I could help you more. I am not sure about laptop.

I had a professional come and install in my absence, he had to cut a box behind the TV in the wall for $K converter and he fixed it with a mount he suggested, also I had a sound bar installed just below the screen. I wish I had run an Ethernet wire from my router, even though I mage to trouble shoot wireless connection by using the Media part the WIFI spectrum at 5K htz.

Must go through Dave but can be connected to tv without software if you use an hdmi or sub cable. Software is needed for computer and you will need you IP info for your computer. TV just needs to be turned to a component channel.

yes and no they give you two ways to set up, one is for AV connection if you don't have an HDMI. There is also an optical/audio connect

oh yes, you have to purchase a stereo rca with audio/video conections and plug it to a stereo y splitter and connect it to the pc in! Best to have a hi def tv! Excellent stereo sound! I watch netflix in stereo!

Yes, all you need is a monitor -- no need for T.V. It works very good I don't own a T.V. I use this: picture, remote, everything good. After hook up the menu on your screen for initial setup can auto program all the local channels.

It has worked perfectly fine for me. I've been using it for almost a month every day. It requires a USB connection for power source and an HDMI and VGA cable (A 3.5 mm audio jack if needed). Is plug-and-play meaning that no installation is necessary.

No you won't need one.If you plug a cable in the lan port,you can hook that to your PC.

Don't take his advice. I'm a very techie person and would NOT tell you to use your computer over one of these. This is simple plug & play. Why mess with having to hook up your computer to your TV every time you want to watch something? Bad advice on his part IMHO.

You did not mention what the cable is to be connected to, if it's a cable box then you can connect to the television if it has video in and out

No TV's or PC's generally will not have BNC connections which this cables has. I would get a vga to hdmi, or vga to composite to connect a PC to a TV.

You don't need any computer at all. Just need a TV or computer monitor with a VGA connection and a separate (non provided) VGA cable.Also, if you have any device with internet access, download the SDS-P3040 user manual for operation info.

You can connect it to a PC, but there is no VGA jack specifically for the PC. You will have to use one of the HDMI inputs.

yes, you'll need the hdmi cable, this is merely an interface / "plug" to the hdmi cable

Menus are a lot easier to view on a tv or monitor, but you don't need one. If you are going to do any advanced settings, I recommend connecting a TV, if only temporarily.
