Does it work to record TV programs, and work for security cameras?

This DVR is primarily for security camera recording and that is all the software supports. It does not support video stream such as mp4 and DIVX from another video source.

Hi, I never tried recording TV programs on it, but I guess if you can find a way to feed TV signal to the DVR it will record them also, it works just fine with the cameras though.

Don't know - I used it with a DVR and it worked great! Caught a thief the first 24 hours of use.

Yes, I use mine for that. Don't expect setting up program recordings to be as easy as cable DVR. The set up for program recording is not very user friendly but it does the job. Antenna cable attachment is easy. Output to the TV is easy as well. Just read the user manual to set up.

Assuming that a security camera is like a game camera then yes it will work. My husband has 8 differrent brands of the game one and thy work in all of them. Hope this helps.

Humm.. I never used it but its for either your tv or computer applications that require camera?!

yes, but you will need software to do this. I have a synology nas that has a free application called surveillance station that you can connect the camera to and record. im sure there are several other applications that can do the same.

Hi there, This cable will work on any security dvr/recorder/monitoring system as the standards are set to bnc type connection,,,,no matter how old or new the device is. The only drawback is cable is very thin, not like the one that comes with cameras, however the build quality is o.k. I am using it for the past 7 months and do not have any problems. Only time will tell how long it will last. Thanx

Yes it should work with most dvr security system on the market today. Do you know that this camera is not for closes area. This camera is for long distant shooting like mounted on top of the wall and shooting a parking lot. I used this camera to shoot across the show room floor where I can't put a standard camera.

It will record what can be viewed on your TV. So if you don't have cable, just an antenna, it can record those stations.

If your laptop has a matching input and compatible software, it might work, but it's not my recommendation since a dedicated surveillance DVR has the inputs and the installed software and costs less than a computer plus it usually has more available memory storage space (since it is not also filled with everything else you have on your computer) and you can fill up a hard drive quickly if you are doing 24 hour recording.

You configure it to work with whatever application you plan to use the camera with and then you record it from the software. It's not a very good camera for video, but it works for something.

Hi Donna,I'm not sure. I only recorded shows from our cable box. It worked perfectly with that.

I don't think this will do what you want. I don't believe it actually records anything. It basically connects a hard drive to your TV. I bought mine long ago and it's since found a spot in my closet. While it may have improved since I bought mine, the interface was very clunky.

I heard of Ispy dvr software that can be downloaded that does well for what you ask.

You can rig it for use in home security system using a separate mini dvr with micro SDHC card. That is how I used it
