Do you have to have your computer and your DVR connected at the same time? Or does the device have flash memory, record from DVR then load on computer

The device does not have flash memory, so you must have your computer and your DVR connected at the same time.

You will need a usb DVR dongle. It will be a USB that has rca connectors on it.

This isn't a recording device. It streams content from a Tivo DVR, so you can watch what is recorded on your DVR when you are away from home.

I don't know, I only use computer monitors. I have seen this question asked before, and guess that older TV's are not compatible with the software on the DVR.

You have to have a cable card in the device for it to work. Your situation may neccessetate some sort of capture card. This one is truly a cable recording device like a settop box DVR

Marta: No, you wouldn't NEED a DVR to operate the system. The software allows for monitoring and/or recording via your laptop - if you want to review footage you merely play the files back on your computer. Tom

That's interesting. I wonder why it's called a DVR. I actually had the same question as Dennis, thanks for your reply. OK. I just got off the phone with tech at Archos and both the home and travel DVR do record from TV, VCR and DVD player. The main difference is the Home DVR dock is not travel friendly because of size/weight and there is no "s" plug on the travel dock.

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and has a specific monitor. Since it is not ip camera , it can't be connected to computer directly.

No this is just a camera. If you have a video capture card on your computer you can record on your computer. I bought a Q-see DVR and it records on it's own hard drive or on a separate computer using the software that came with the system.

What do you have to hookup in to to record from DVR? Do you hook dvr to dvd player only? Does Cable have to run thru the DVD player and tv? I've tried a couple times and nothing is recording. Also, how do you finalize if you are choosing record without setting it up.

The cable makes a connection and it works both ways. If you are having recording troubles, it has to be the DVR. There is nothing to add to the cable that would make any difference. I suggest also that you check your camera power to make certain it has all it needs to make the video signal. If you see the video on your monitor, it should be easily recordable by the DVR.

Yes, it does record. I have a very expansive camera system so I have them hooked into my 36 channel DVR. I am sure that you could make it work with the computer.

Try Netviewer. (Google it.) It worked fine for Win7 where Web Client for DVR would not.

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

Nothing! The camera is self contained and all you need to do is to make sure it's fully charged. To watch the recorded videos, you need to plug in the USB cable to your PC. That's it.
