It records cif, the playback is not as crystal clear as you would want, I would recommend looking at another dvr if thats important

Personally, I have disconnected the NVR because it has been more of a hassle trying to get their software up and running as an isolated unit apart from my PC (the reason that I made the purchase). I have decided to Run ISpy freeware on my PC and use my 1TB hard drive to record any activity.

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.

I was JUST reading through some of the reviews and one of the folks seemed to list this exact problem - though they were using a Tivo. It seems too similar an issue to be an anomaly: sadly the reviewer determined that after unplugging the drive and starting his DVR back up again, all of the problems vanished, leading him to the conclusion that it was the drive and NOT the DVR. Your best bet is to do the same - remove the drive and see if the DVR functions normally. If so, then you know the drive is faulty. Good luck!

There is nothing High Performance about this DVR/Capture device. A 5400 rpm drive will work fine. Mine has been working flawlessly since I got it and installed the drive.

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

YES, buy it today if you're a bit computer smart. I (re)record my Dish DVR movies 'to the computer' and never, ever... go to the effort to burn DVDs from these... too much trouble. People should get into burning satelliteDVR to computer, then playback from computer to HDTV, in my opinion anyway. This inexpensive box has 'recorded' many 'premium' dishnet shows via the component cables, no copyprotection issues. Good luck. Lots of terrible reviews .. I may have been lucky but I bought mine from Frys at $200 two years ago.

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

To be honest, I am not really sure. I put a WD 1TB Green Drive, which other people had issues with in other DVR's & I did not have any problems.

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

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.

Not sure Thomas, I returned the system due to some issues with exporting footage of the DVR. However, when I was testing this system, it did seem like as long as you had a long enough cable, the system captures (but not exports) fine.

This box doesn't solve your problem. You need a HD-DVR in conjunction with this box to enjoy all the functionality of DirecTV, particularly OnDemand. Sorry...

Hi Michael, Sorry for the late reply. Yes, it is a 8CH DVR, so if you want to add another 4 cameras, it is fine. Do you want to buy another 4 cameras from us? Please kindly advise. Thank you.

Sorry I am just finding this message. It was a piece of crap and I returned it. Don't know if you can connect it to a dvr. It's not a functioning some detector and it never recorded anything. It was supposed to be motion activated and it didn't. Hope you didn't waste your money. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I'm pretty sure I returned it before you posted this question.
