What would you use for a DVR?

I have it setup through my home computer. Any motion is recorded on that computer.

I use a computer with 2 hard drives in raid 1. For the software I use grand streams free g surf pro.

I will be using a normal PC with iSpy installed on it. You can download it at www.ispyconnect.com

I use the Qnap NAs that has the software for it. It also serves as my Media Center NAS so I can watch the camera video on my smart TVs as well.

Any SATA drive should work without issue, I'd recommend a 2TB Western Digital PURPLE drive as they're specifically made for DVR systems, such as this.

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that you would need a mixer. A resistor from each mic to a common resistor across the DVR in would work, but probably with low volume. An active mixer would be better. In any case, it can be done, but you are going to have a lot of noises coming in to the one input.

You could have just bought a hard disk and installed it in the DVR (it's easy). I got a 500GB hard drive on eBay for $45, and a 4 camera system for $130 so I paid $175 all together.

If you're feeling adventurous, MythTV is a great open source DVR solution that now runs on Windows. I have been running it on Fedora for years with OTA and cable programming. If you need schedule information, check out Schedules Direct.

If you can read an SDHC card,audio and video,dvr should work quite well with the MAC.

You can add an external hard drive if you have a compatible receiver which will give you DVR capabilities. I don't think you can use a DVR.

Any DVR or video recorder that will accept red/yellow or yellow/white RCA type connections. I used a Q-See DVR 16 channel unit but you don't need all that to record. I access my feed live on my smart phone so I used the Q-See for that purpose.Amazon searches for DVR recorder for security camera should get you where you need to be. My MAC100W has been flawless for as long as I've owned it. Great buy.

Any SATA HD, I had a few laying around and used a 250GB, just screwed it down and plugged it in, it was ready to go. The DVR has formatting configuration pre-installed to set up your HD.

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.

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

You have options, the BNC connector that it comes with will work with a DVR, or you can purchase a BNC male to RCA female adapter and connect it to your VCR or TV ( the camera might come with the adapter) using standard A/V cables.

I hooked mine up to a computer monitor. To get full system support the DVR needs internet connection also.

Any dvr is swappable with another dvr. The app for defender system only let's you see one camera at a time. Really depends on your needs.

Unfortunately, no. DVRs like that only accept analog video cameras, and these Aircams are entirely digital (most IP cameras are).These require much more technical know-how to install. Also, note that these cameras do not have night vision, so they may not be suitable for your purposes anyway.

Any DVR will work if the inputs match up. But consider this... The camera is a 600TVL output and a lot of the cheap DVR's wont be able to show you the clarity of live video feed that the camera is actually putting out, and certainly a cheap DVR will not be able to record at that resolution.

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
