Yes, there is a RCA cable (yellow) included in the box to connect to the TV. Look at the back or side of your TV and verify what type of connection it can accept. There are RCA, VGA and HDMI ports. The RCA connection is normally yellow for video and red and white for audio, the VGA port is blue which connects to a laptop or computer and the HDMI (looks like a USB port but wider) connects to a laptop or computer. The DVR can use either of these ports to view the cameras. In some cases, you may have to purchase a BNC to RCA adapter.

It's the same concept as a VCR. You have a Digital Tuner in the DVD recorder, so you can record your TV program, 'Over the Air', and be able to watch another program on your HDTV at same time. OR if you still have analog cable (no cable box) you will still be able to record a program and watch a different channel at the same time. *This has a 'Standard Definition' Digital Tuner in it, not a HD. So the quality may be different than an HDTV.

I'm not sure I understand your question..does it have to be connected to a DVR all the time for what?? To be able to view? No but it needs to be connected to something in order to be viewed

1. No VGA Inputs from cameras, BNC only. 2. BNC plugs on either end of cable. 3. System comes with (8) 60' lengths of cable with ends attached. These cables have the power cable attached. (2) external power supplies provided. Each supply runs 4 cameras. 4. VGA output for computer monitor. I have mine hooked to my 47" Vizio TV. Software splits the view into 9 squares. You can interact with the DVR with provided USB mouse. 5. If you decide to use PC / Phone, read their website carefully on the steps needed to take. Network setup was a PIA, and I do networking for a living. The person who programmed the on screeen setup things backwards from conventional logic, especially in the network setup.

when recording go back to your TV to watch and channel surf. you don't have to stay on the DVR to watch television. when you choose the HDMI that is hook to your dvr you just go back to that and choose TV to watch your television and it will record as long as you have set it up to record the program you want

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.

It comes with all of the cables you need, but no recording device. It uses a 5V power cord and A/V cables. You will need a DVR device to record but you can plug it into a television to view the video feed. You won't be able to plug it directly into a computer monitor since they typically don't have A/V inputs. This device does not have night vision. And it is not high def. Resolution is comparable to 480p. DVRs can be found for as little as $30. This would be a good device to use as a backup cam for a car, although it would need to be weather proofed. The device gets warm when its plugged in, but its not a problem. There is no on off switch, plug it in and its on.

You have to purchase a DVR with an AV hard drive. I'm using zmodo's DVR and it works great with these, I just open my second order of these cams 5 minutes ago.

It has av adapter cables. You may hook it up to a lap top or a tv. I did this for my apartment so it wasn't for a company or a big building. You would have to contact the seller and see if it has a bnc connection.

You have options, the BNC connector that it comes with will work with a DVR, or you can purchase a BNC male to RCA female adapter and connect it to your VCR or TV ( the camera might come with the adapter) using standard A/V cables.

Verify your computer has a HDMI port. Purchase an HDMI cable. Plug HDMI cable into tv, then into computer. Turn tv to whatever input that HDMI port is and the computer screen will show up on the tv. We use for episodes that did not Dvr and stream Internet shows on tv

The camera connects via a standard BNC coax cable to any DVR that supports the NTSC encoding. The DVR should support D1 speeds. This is not an HD camera, so it will not connect to a DVR that is designed for HD-SDI, or HD over BNC. The DVR will have a connection to a local PC type monitor or TV screeen to display the image. Most DVR's today also support Internet connection for remote viewing.

Thanks for your interest in our product.Without a HDD, the DVR would only be capable of live viewing and live remote internet viewing; you would not be able to record footage or play back footage.RegardsMolly

It plays back on your computer, not on your TV. I open Windows Media Center, find the program in the Guide and click the red button to Record. If I'm scheduling a recording at a later time, the program retrieves it, records it, and it is available under Recorded TV. I hope you find it as useful as I do.
