I have a security Dvr that has HDMI, my hd monitor has vga and dvi, will this cable work using the hdmi on the dvr?

Should work fine. hdmi and DVI share the same pin arrangement -- the connector heads are the only difference.

Just adding to my previous comment, there will be no audio onto your monitor regardless it works or not. HDMI to DVI will only transfer video.

What you are looking for is from HDMI to DVI. There is no reason for this cable not to work but I never tried that. My setup is from DVI to HDMI and that works. As far as I know, the reverse should work as well but not 100% sure.

It should. I am not a DVR expert but my cable TV DVR has an HDMI out that went to my monitor using the DVI input and it works great. I didn't have to change anything on my DVR and only had to select the DVI input on the monitor settings. As per the other person's answer, there is no audio signal going into the monitor the DVI input only supports video, not digital audio. So if you want your audio from the DVR, you will need to use the audio output with a cable for that as well (RCA, L/R stereo, digital optical, etc.).

Yes, use the hdmi setting on your dvr and change the settings on your comp to output via dvi.

I used the converter to go from my VGA out to my HDMI on my TY. It worked for me. Try difference combinations hook ups. I used the converter thas goes from VGA to HDMI. There is a converter that goes from HDMI to VGA. I also used a converter on my old security DVR box. the box only had VHA connection. Hope this helps.

Sorry , it all depends on the DVR system you are using. If you are using only the monitor it will support only the one cam that is pluged in

The VGA port on this device should be for a computer monitor itself; to connect to a computer you'll need a video input card on your computer and a BNC to Component cable. Please note that it will only display the video feed from the DVR to your computer and will not allow remote administration of the device.

I used this cable on a security monitor and it worked perfectly. Not sure about a regular TV.

You should be able to via the feed off of it but you may run in to restrictions via the HDMI signal being encrypted. But if you can already record on your DVR via an HDMI signal, you should be just fine. Reminder: this does not contain any recording equipment inside, it is strictly made for handling antenna and other signals and pushing out via HDMI.

this video cable is made for a security system , my system is set up with this cable from the camera to the security system with a power supply connected to this cable and to the security box that processes the camera images. From the security box I have a VGA cable that hooks to a flat screen monitor, if the flat screen tv has a vga or another connection like the one on the security then from the security box to the tv should work. But you have to have the security box connected to run the cameras.

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.

Not exactly sure but I do have an HD-DVR box....... Actually I'm pretty sure that it won't work on a regular HD box because it downloads (saves) the program to the hard drive on the DVR box. Hope that helps........

It depends on the configuration of your surveilance controller. I use a Revo DVR controller and I have 4 cameras plugged into the monitor.

I plugged this into a BNC video output on an older DVR and then into a VGA input on an LCD video monitor. The unit successfully converted the signal so I could display video being recorded by all cameras connected to the DVR. I had 12 cameras connected to the DVR and it worked fine. I think only limitation would be with the DVR.

I used this dongle on a FTA box, I'm don't know for sure if it will work on a DVR

The DVR has different video outputs. HDMI for HD TV or Composite video out for a standard old type monitor/tv..CCTV SUPPLY...Merchant

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 have used it to convert the HD-SDI output of regular video cameras direct to TV with great success, I see no reason why it would not work with a security camera's HD-SDI output. As long as the output is in fact HD-SDI and not just a BNC composite output, I am virtually 100% SURE IT WOULD WORK.

I've had good luck with D cables (dcables.net), very good quality and low price cables and adapters. (I needed a DVI to HDMI adapter [$9.99] for my Dish HD DVR)

Mine didn't work. I asked for a replacement but its been over a month and nothing has arrived so far. I have been sent tracking numbers so I think they tried sending a new one but it just hasn't arrived. I wouldn't buy this if I were you. In theory it should work though. VGA is analog and thus is a lower resolution than HDMI. I'm going to buy a whole new monitor that supports DVI rather than dealing with the crappy quality of my VGA monitor. Its up to you man I wouldn't buy though.
