I just received this and it talks about hooking to a monitor. I thought it recorded to my DVR?? If so how do you hook it up - there are no instruction

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.

I did not receive software when I purchased this product. I got it because I wanted to hook it up to my existing security DVR. If you want to hook it to a computer, I think you need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002H3BSCM

If your home security DVR has a VGA out (I'm assuming it does) then yes you can do as you asked. You would connect your VGA cables from your DVR and your computer to the 2 VGA inputs on the switch box and then you would connect the VGA output to your monitor. If your DVR does not have VGA out you could still do it but you would need an additional converter box to convert your DVR output to VGA.

yes you can use monitor. You should have vga connector on the back of your dvr.

I connected the device directly from the TV and cable box to the computer. I had to unplug everything and then re-plug everything afterwards. You play it live and it records in real time.

from what i understand you are suppose to be able to record from your dvr to a vcr recorder.i cant tell you how, but if you do a search on your computer it will bring up how to do it.

Hey eyeball, I need the same thing basically. My Question is this: I would like to use this camera as an HD feed for a monitor. Can I leave it in record mode (without recording) and get a feed without it shutting off? Did it end up working okay for you??? If not what did you get?

Not that I recommended this device - I returned it. But, which line out are you using from your receiver? Normally for this type of operation you would take the "record" line out

Do I need to have something else to view the video on this camera or can I just connect to a monitor and thats it? I dont want to record, just real time monitoring for my garage. What I want to do, is to have a camera wired to my room's tv, so whenever someone is getting close to my garage entrance, I can see from my tv, instead of going to the garage entrance.. will this work?

You do not have to have it hooked to a monitor for it to record. I'm not sure about the streaming video, I do not have my system hooked to the internet. I don't believe you would need it hooked to a monitor, but camera placement would be difficult without seeing it on some sort of monitor. I have read that it is easy to "hack" the streaming video feed, so I elected not to do that. I'm not sure if you can delete, or modify settings from a device, and that is why I didn't connect it to the internet

What do you have to hookup in to to record from DVR? Do you hook dvr to dvd player only? Does Cable have to run thru the DVD player and tv? I've tried a couple times and nothing is recording. Also, how do you finalize if you are choosing record without setting it up.

Would you like me to send you a video of how to hook it up? Also what console are you connecting to? The booklet inside shows you how to hook everything up to your tv. You just have to make sure the cords are in the right color connections. I had an issue for the first couple of months where everything I was recording was in black and white until I realized You can't use HDMI cords to connect your system to the tv if you're recording. The whole HD labeling is misleading.

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.

As far I know, this is only an external graphics Card that ports from your computer to another monitor. So you should be able to use it from another computer to the VA connection of your laptop to use the laptop as another monitor. So if the signal is coming into your laptop then you can record it.

Though I've never tried it, there is a record button on there so I assume it can record. It's Tunerless, therefore there is no direct connection from the cable. You have to use the A/V connection, Yellow/Red/White

Sorry I don't know if it will connect with a dvr. Mine are connected via ADT pulse system, everything is then recorded on my laptop & iPhone. I'm not using a dvr with my system. You could call ADT directly and ask them. If you don't have ADT pulse system now you should consider upgrading to PULSE, I love it I can turn my lights on & off from my phone, arm or disarm alarm system from my phone & watch & record my home from my phone or laptop.
