Can this camera be hooked up to a TV or monitor while recording to live view the recordings? If not, any recommendations for a camera which can?

I just tried it and it works great. I used the HDMI output and that is what I used to connect it to my TV's HDMI input.

Hi kahvi79, this Sony HDRPJ275/B do have a live view feature, which when connected on a TV (with supported HDMI), videos taken can be seen on the TV. It is like making the TV set an extended monitor for the camcorder. -Ely

Thank you for contacting us. You are able to connect the item you are inquiring about to a TV/monitor for live view while recording.

Hi Victor, Yes I am able to connect, view live and record videos from this camera on my computer but you will need a separate video adapter/cable and install software onto your PC. The camera doesn't come with those. If you buy the camera straight out, it comes with video cables that can be connected to a television or a computer with a video card that allows AV input. If you want specifics or technical details, you have to do some research.

You can use a dedicate computer monitor, or tv as a monitor as well with the computer monitor port on it. You could use a tv yo are already using, and then simply switch to that input when you would like to view it. I also beieve that a monitor dips necessary for initial set up as well..recording preferences etc...

Does your HDTV have an HDMI out port or at least component cables to hook up to the input of the DVD recorder? I doubt it does so it is highly unlikely that you could record from the TV. In order to be able to record anything you need an input source that has its own tuner, or cancels the need for a tuner, as this recorder does not have one built in, but without some type of input source there will be nothing for the recorder to record

It can be used directly to a monitor/tv/ although if you are hooking it up to a CPU you will need a video card I believe and of course software if you want to record.

The TV converter is not for what you need to do. Your camera output (ports can be mini, micro, usb, hdmi,....) plug into the TV HDMI input then you can watch the taken pictures & even videos. Read your camera manual too & be careful so you wouldn't damage your camera. Most newer cameras are equipped for this usage. I hope it will work for you.

I hooked mine up to a computer monitor. To get full system support the DVR needs internet connection also.

Yes, it can. I am using one that way, just as a monitor with no recording. The camera will still need to be hooked up to a 12 volt power source and the TV will need to have an RCA type video input jack (often called a game input). While you are using the camera, you will not be able to watch the TV. Amazon has several video monitors available if you don't want to dedicate a TV for this purpose.

Yes, with an HDMI output on your camera you can plug in this monitor and see (just as you would on your camera) what you are recording.

Hi Mad, normally you can't do that directly on the TV. You can record from your Cable Box. -Vincent

This is just a video camera. It has a BNC Cable connector and will need to be hooked up to a monitor for real time viewing or a recorder if you want to record the video for watching later.

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

Hi Radames, the camcorder may only be used as a monitor while recording or playback. It will display the same view as is on the LCD. Thanks_Mitch

Yes, I was able to connect my camera with the AV cable that is included to my TV. Connect the Audio and Visual ports in the front/back/side of your TV and connect to your camera; you will be able to watch any videos you have made, as well as flip thru photos using the camera. One drawback however, is that the AV cable is very short. I had to stand up close to the TV to change photos.

This camera works great for live coverage and real time display. Recording is cumbersome and there are better options out there. This is not a camcorder or surveillance camera and will not easily take their place. if you are looking for recording I would keep shopping.

you need some kind of outside device. It doesnt record its just plug in, turn on the tv and you have live feed.

You can record, however, it's not a CCTV camera, I suspect that's what you're looking for.
