Hello Inicarte, All Q-See systems have our exclusive Mult-DVR Management Software, which allows you to monitor and manage multiple DVRs from one single login. As long as the DVRs are within the same series (this DVR is a QS Series DVR. hint: the first two letters in the model number is the series). You can connect up to 100 DVRs, or up to 2,000 cameras. You can also view 64 cameras at one time.

Hi Monitor2,Yes you can, and make sure to set up only one password for the system and name the cameras in order (Cam1, Cam2 etc...). You will see 2 cameras when you open the IP tools or IP Cam by clicking the 4 window icon.

Each IR port can be independently controlled. The only way you would encounter a problem is if both DVRs are on the same IR port with a dual emitter cable.

The DVR has different video outputs. HDMI for HD TV or Composite video out for a standard old type monitor/tv..CCTV SUPPLY...Merchant

If your DVR has BNC style inputs, you should be able to connect it. You don't have to use all the same brand or style.

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, I have one tv monitor with hdmi connection to DVR and computer monitor VGA connection to DVR

That is essentially the point of a cable like this. But DVRs, unlike most computers, sometimes have funky compatibility issues with some types of storage expansion. So your mileage may vary.

Oh I am sorry. You only got the speed dome. My mistake. That did not come with a DVR. I added that to a system.

I bought this DVR in Nov.2013 and hooked it up to my existing a dome color camera and a bullet and it working great so far for me including the remote view from my smart phone. I recommended that you contact the Q-See customer service about your problem. The customer there are very nice and friendly people they help me set up the remote view on my system.Hope that help

I don't see why not. I think they use the same BNC cables. If you do up-grade to the Q-See QT5682 DVR you might want to go ahead and get it with the High Resolution Camera's, you wont be disappointed. You might be able to use your existing cables. You get twice the distance on night vision and alot better picture than the 420 camera's that came with your system. If you do up-grade everything make sure the monitor you use is a 1080 you will love the difference in picture quality.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to. I'd just put a coax splitter off my antenna feed and run it to both units. If that weakened the signal too much, you could simply get a separate antenna for the 2nd DVR.

If you have only one camera then you need one PoE injector. But if you have more than one camera then one plug in injector is not enough. Get multiple plug in holes for about $50. No need to use DVR.

Yes, I believe it is a dual-LBN so you can feed two cables to a standard definition (not HD) DVR.

Any dvr is swappable with another dvr. The app for defender system only let's you see one camera at a time. Really depends on your needs.

Sorry you can't. What you can do, is see both cameras with the a shuffle of audio. I use the function all the time.
