I am a Grandmother buying a monitor for first time. I read reviews & several of the mothers bought extra equipment. What extra equipment do I need to buy?

I like this monitor, however I had problems with the first one I ordered. I ordered a new one and at times the screen will display broken images. Almost like the Monitor has damage. Not sure how else to describe it to you. I have to turn it off and turn it back on to get it to work properly. As for the extra equipment, we never purchased anything other than what came with the monitor. Good luck! and Congratulations!!

Nothing. I bought an extra camera. It is hard to switch between the two cameras. We also bought he silicon protector but I don't think I have needed it and was a little disappointed in it when I got it, it didn't look like it does much for protection. Everything is included. The first one I ordered I sent back because the cameras kept disconnecting from the monitor. The second one has been good so far.

I am having the same issue, as buying a new kit and keeping the old monitor as a backup or only buying a extra camera (for old model 02644)... did you get any ansers?

Thank you for contacting us. You should be able to use a HDMI, DVI, or Displayport cable that comes with this item.

Any one that has the required plugs. I use a Lilliput 7" monitor, purchased here...http://www.amazon.com/Lilliput-monitor-interface-dedicated-high-definition/dp/B0041I8UAOand it works well

It depends what you click on and order. I got the monitor and one camera and bought a second camera separately. Connect the receiver to a computer with an internet connection using the included USB cable, and start viewing live video on your PC, Mac™, compatible smart phone, tablets, and Wi-Fi/3G/4GLTE devices. Lorex is awesome. This is the second system I bought.

I also bought a radio with the rear backup camera option so a separate monitor is not needed. The radio video screen is the monitor. If you don't have a compatible radio or rear view mirror then you will need a separate monitor.

I found some extra video out put and power supplies listed on amazon and ebay ,I don't recall the name of the site that sold them, but I have bought other brand of monitors and the install cables were the same, I hope that helps you Ricky, Thanks Bill

When we got this computer, we already had a monitor that we were going to use. It did not come with one. The only extra was the keyboard, which was what we required. It has been a GREAT system. We really like it.

I don't remember how many monitors came with it, it's been awhile since I bought it. if I remember correctly, they offer a model with dual monitors. I have #2 extra ones for sale. Shoot me a fair price and your location for shipping, if you can only buy a unit with less monitors then you need...

Yes, you need a monitor at minimum and one that can accept BNC plugs, otherwise you will need a converter. For example, if you want to wire it directly to an old LCD computer monitor you will need a BNC-VGA converter. That will allow you to monitor in real time but if you want to view multiple monitors, record, or have remote access via Smartphone, you will need a DVR made for security cameras. I use a Q-See DVR that is made by some company that rebrands for companies like Q-See.

In my experience, I just used an old computer monitor that I had at work. The system as I bought it did not come with a monitor. They're practically giving those away on Craigslist anyway if you don't have one. The receiver on this system writes to an SD card which can then be viewed on another PC if you wish. You will need an SD card reader if you don't have that already. You can get those at walmart or target.

These monitors have a DVI and an VGA connection. DVI and HDMI are digital, where VGA is analog. I would go with an HDMI to DVI cable to add to your existing DVI cable.

ours pretty much came with everything it needed--cameras, cords, monitor. Be advised, however, if you have to send it in for warranty repairs they insist that you take the cameras down and send them as well--even if the only issue is monitor itself (which ours was). We won't be buying another for that reason

So sorry I can't answer this for you. I bought this as a gift. It was highly recommended but the folks I bought it for wanted the digital monitors so I returned it. Good luck.

Hey that got me too! Only one is included in that price. I thought I had found the deal of the century. But these things got rave reviews and I see why. They are well worth the price with features and performance equal to monitors costing much more. Amazon has the lowest price. Sweetwater and others offer the first monitor at a higher price but discount the second to make it come out the same cost as amazon though.

My purchase came fully complete...nothing else needed other than setup. The six monitor setup has been a winner all the way. Very adjustable, very solid...a solid product. Hope that helps.

Any good small full range monitor would be good. A little Roland 30 watt keyboard amp would sound great. Or any powered studio monitors.
