you need to supply your own cable to plug into your monitor. you also need to buy a hard drive and install it. If you dont it wont record, it will only show live video. I purchased a 1 terra byte hard drive for $70.00 and installed it myself, I have never done it before, but it is very easy with the supplied instructions or go on youtube for step by step instructions

In an effort to keep the cost down the unit does not come with a hard drive or video cable. You can start out with a used PC hard drive but you should plan to buy a drive that's made to handle video recording. Even with the short falls you mention the unit is still a great value and allows people on a budget to build a decent system over time.

You have to provide your own monitor, monitor cables, and hard drive. That's why this model is so inexpensive. I attached and old flat screen monitor and bought a WD AVGP 1TB HD for it. Works great. In all honesty, you only need the attached monitor to set it up. Once it's running, you can access it, view real-time, and playback via any computer on your network.

Bnc cable are in kit but VGA cable you can get for $5 on Amazon or get a PC monitor for about $50 or less on Craigslist to view cameras .hard drive is were your recording on there different sizes so you pick how much you want to record 1month to as many as 12 months of recording. Very simple go to YouTube as search zmodo setup and instal lots of help .

I got the cables for the cams. If they include the hard drive in the dvr you will have to pay more for the dvr.

There are two video outputs, VGA and BNC. you can see more pictures of the unit at the website, and you can call and ask them questions - they're very helpful. http://www.ussscctv.com/

Did or did not your DVR unit come with any cables? It should.The cable would have one red and one white RCA connector on one end and a three section pin A/V connector on the other, that is the only type that should be plugged in the DVR in and out ports. To make the unit work you need the RCA female to RCA female adaptor to plug in your BNC's male connector and the yellow RCA male connector.

where does it say anything about a DVR? this is a converter box for over the air signal, pure and simple. There is no cable. There is no recording function.

from what i understand you are suppose to be able to record from your dvr to a vcr recorder.i cant tell you how, but if you do a search on your computer it will bring up how to do it.

I do not use the VGA interface. I use the BNC connecter from the monitor to the DVR. But if you decide to use the DVI, test it on another VGA device. Because there are more than one DVI type connectors. I use BNC because of the distance from my DVR to the monitor. My monitor is over 50' from my DVR.

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.

This NVR Kit does not have Hard Drive(HDD) included. Separate purchase is necessary in order to record onto the device. It will be available soon in our Amazon listing soon. Here is a full list of compatible Hard Drives in the link: http://ismartusa.net/FAQ/shownews.php?lang=en&id=44. Thank you

No, the DVR saves the video to its internal hard drive. If your DVR was purchased without an internal hard drive installed, then you can install an internal hard drive to your unit

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.

Thank you. the dvr supports BNC, VGA, HDMI output. As long as your TV has one of the 3 ports, it can be used as a monitor. for VGA and HDMI ports, may need to adjust dvr output resolution accordingly.

This item has no hard drive, no monitor and includes no cameras. It is only the dvr. I bought this one because the one I had before (NIGHTOWL brand) broke, but I already had the cameras installed, the 1TB hard drive and the monitor.

This is a CCTV DVR for recording surveillance footage. Technically, it may be possible to connect a TV/Cable to the DVR through BNC adapters, tell the DVR to record at specific times, and replay the recording later, but there are far better ways to go about it, like buying a DVR suited specifically for your purpose that will probably allow you to select the shows you want to watch from a guide rather than you specifying record times manually.

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

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

Unless your main dvr has some sort of DLNA functionality, I'm going to lean towards no. You most likely are not going to able to watch recorded shows.
