Do you have to have a tv or monitor hooked up to the system in order to get streaming video on your phone or for it to record?

Absolutely not. Q-See has software for Android and iPhone that can be downloaded from the app-store or GooglePlay so you can view your live footage as well as recording from the application. You can even change settings remotely and save them back to the system. Of course all of this is only possible if your system is connected to your internal network. you will however initially need a monitor to set up the DVR and after that you do not need a keyboard, mouse or monitor.

You need a monitor to get the system setup. After it's setup and you view the system remotely you don't need to have the monitor connected.

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

If you connect a USB cable from a computer or the appropriate DVR you can stream video to the TV. I chose this model for that reason. It provides the option of connecting the latest video option for streaming, rather than being limited to what is built in to the TV.

you can hook to any monitor or TV that has the correct inputs. You can also hook directly to a DVR.

That's kind of a hard question the cables are just standard video cables going into the monitor it would ultimately depend on your phone and then you would have to buy the cable to go from the video cables to your phone. My suggestion would be just to buy a monitor as well. They're fairly cheap and have a good picture, as well as fairly easy to Install and work. You will also need additional cable to run the length of your vehicle as the camera only comes with like a foot of cables.

I may have misunderstood your question. You do have to have your computer setup to output to your TV in order to watch on your TV but there are 2 tuners so you can record on one and watch Live TV on the other. All recording is done on your computer and you must have Window Media Center installed on your computer.

You can view cams on a monitor via VGA but not on a cell phone unless you have internet access.

If you want to record you will need to connect the camera to a DVR (Digital video recorder) or something similar otherwise it is just live video connected to a monitor.

You need a DVR to hook the cameras up to. The DVR will record the video from the cameras and can have the capability of allowing you to view the feed via cell phone or web browser. You will also need power supplies for these cameras.

The receiver records activity from the camera on a SD Card for purpose of review or saving data. Your existing TV may be used as a monitor. The monitor is live and has nothing to do with recording. This particular system is amazing. I would def recommend the DVD system.

You'll need a device that has RCA inputs to record the video. A VCR or a computer with a TV card that has a VIDEO IN connector.

I don't have mine connected to either a computer or internet. I believe you only need to connect them if you want to view remotely (from your phone or computer). I have mine set to record for 30 seconds so if I want to view video later I can do that. I don't have a need for remote viewing so no computer or internet needed.

The camera just gives a feed to the device you connect too. That device can just output a video signal or record if it has that function. But that is independent of this camera.
