I am not tech savvy at all. I cant get this system going and the cd wasnt included. I want to set up is there a place it will walk me through the steps?

I don't believe I saw that option. I have had issues with setting system up. I was excited when I purchased this, and when it arrived and we set up the quality was good, then when we went to set up to stream video we ran into difficulties, and reaching customer service is impossible. I have about given up with setting this up, and to top it off it does not come with hard drive nor the cd I had expected to aid with set up. The only thing that I can give information on is the video quality. So sorry I am of no help.

A Broadband Deca will connect to your home router and your Directv SWM splitter assuming you are using a SWM dish as opposed to the older multiswitch set up. Your DVR will now be connected to the internet over the existing coax cable.

Yes.Or connect the DVR on your network, install software on your PC and record.. (not easy to do).

It's intended to be connected to a dvr via coax or similar with BNC connectors

You are correct, dvrs have an output to your other devices but do not have a hdmi input.

it uses none. It is wifi wireless. Your DVR would have to support wifi for the camera to be added, but that is really not the point of this camera. It actually is a webserver on its own.

I am using a PC but The User Manual has instructions for Web viewing on PC and Macs, so it should work. Viewing the DVR recording directly does not require a computer, only a monitor. I found the User Manual by Googling online.

not at all... This product is a DVR (as stated on the page). I cant see anywhere where it mentions recording TV programs..?? Even the name of the product "Swann Digital Video Recorder with Smartphone Viewing and PRO-550 Cameras" is rather clear that its not a cable/sat. DVR, unless they are now packaging those with security cameras now days?? I just reread the part under the "Product Description" and I didnt notice anything that would lead anyone to believe it was anything but a security system DVR. Could you point out what Im missing here??

What online watching fee? The DVR acts as a server which you can access remotely via PC or mobile device. You just have to hook it up via a router and setup DDNS if you have a dynamic IP. (See my Amazon product review for setup details)

if you connect the dvr to your router you can see the dvr on the internet by using the external ip address. you can go to zmodo.com and under 'support' find info on networking for zmodo products. they do have active x (add-ons) protocols specific for their product but once downloaded you should be able to see all your cameras. There is also some stuff on utube but go to zmodo.com first.

This thing. Just plugs into your USB slot in the back or front of your DVR. It works great with my sling adapter. I tried to plug both the WIFI and the sling adapter into a USB hub plugged into the back of the DVR, but it wouldn't draw enough power evidently, so that's why I plug the WIFI adapter into the front USB plug

That's interesting. I wonder why it's called a DVR. I actually had the same question as Dennis, thanks for your reply.OK. I just got off the phone with tech at Archos and both the home and travel DVR do record from TV, VCR and DVD player. The main difference is the Home DVR dock is not travel friendly because of size/weight and there is no "s" plug on the travel dock.

No, you will need to purchase a controller or use the ptz controller that comes with your dvr if applicable.

No. My sling catcher is only a player for an old sling box. I am not sure it will work even with the new sling players. You can copy shows to a USB drive and play it through the sling catcher but I don't think it will directly play a DVR file type. The box was great for military that move around and want to watch US shows in other countries, etc. The web player is probably a better way to go now.

The video stream is actually established between the WiFi module (in the camera housing) and your router. You can then tap into that video stream with a computer on your network for recording. Recording is done through Internet Explorer or a third party recording application. You can also push this feed to the Internet for live viewing remotely, such as with a mobile phone or tablet. Thus, it doesn't really connect directly to your computer. You will need to be on the computer for initial configuration. We have live tech support that can do all that for you via Remote Desktop.

Yes, you can plug directly into the DVR with either VGA monitor cable or BNC coax cable. I have not tried the BNC connection because the VGA works perfectly, but the DVR has a BNC coax video out port.
