I believe you nee an IP camera and an internet connection at your mothers house.

This type of camera would require some form of a dvr to accept the signal. I would suggest you look into a wifi camera that has its own software where you could view from anywhere. You of course would need wifi at your mothers house though.

I honestly don't know. I am a 66 year old grandmother and just use it for looking at the early 8mm tapes of my granddaughter over the years. I also still use it to tape events as I have found that the 8mm tapes are still much better than the digital as far as visual quality. And we all like to watch the tape on our older TV that has the AV connections. It is easy for me and I don't have to have 4 different "clickers" to make make sure every other component is on and on right setting. I don't have the patience anymore! I enjoy the video camcorder for the exact purpose I ordered it. Good luck to you. I honestly don't know.

This didn't answer his question. He asked HOW to setup the system to record to DVR or hard drive. I'm curious also.

We had the baby unit in my 86 year old mom's house which was right across the street from our house.We had two monitors and it worked beautifully. She would just need to talk to me and I could go to the monitor and push the button to answer her.

You're welcome. I guess I learned more than I realized from having to set this thing up for my parents over the holiday! I already have a working VCR but I may just buy one of these for myself.

Really simple mind HERE....so is there a DVD in it that you can take out and review daily and reinstall? I need a new system...using old tv with vcr..so I can rewind and watch the next day for camera in the back.... could someone kinds give me the simple way this works? Also can you hook to your TV and watch real time?

I set it up for my mom very easily. I believe there is a menu button and it will bring up all the info you need. I need to look at it again to be sure. She is 22 miles away so I can not look at it right now.

I am still learning and I did not set mine up for that but you can view these in a number of ways with lots of different software. I am using ISPY freeware and you can specify a youtube channel I think from there. also works with VLC media player. just set up the ip and pull it up. also Airvision comes with it for monitoring as well.

The logitech system is good but I recommend something more discreet like a clock radio/ camera combo. Unless there is some legal issue and privacy concerns with the nursing home. Hope this helps.

You have no input to the DVR. Connect the incoming U-Verse cable to the DVR, not to the TV. If you have WiFi, hook your incoming cable to the modem.

I hooked it to my TV with DishNetwork without a problem, and I am 73 years old. I think you will find it very simple, just follow the directions....J

Hi, I may be able to help you with remote viewing. Some apps seem to be more compatible than others. What kind of device and what operating system do you intend to use ?

Use the front of the DVR. I always use the mouse. Should be able to use the DVR device. Never tried it though.

If you are asking will this allow you to watch an elderly person from another room, yes. If you are asking if an elderly person will be able to use this monitor to watch over a baby, also a yes as this is an easy monitor to use.
