If I were you I would look somewhere else for Camera.That's a good question? I was unable to get support or reply from Swann even though I called and sent numerous inquiries, so I sent mine back.

The BNC output is regular NTSC type video and can go directly to any TV type monitor that accepts video input.

You will need a security camera dvr with this camera. Just imagine that the camera is a dvd . You will need a dvd player and a monitor to view the images on the dvd. The same applies to this camera in that will need a security camera dvr( there are many different brands sold by Amazon) and a monitor to view the images generated by this camera. Hope I provided you with the answer to your question

This is just a video camera. It has a BNC Cable connector and will need to be hooked up to a monitor for real time viewing or a recorder if you want to record the video for watching later.

This is just a camera. If you want to record it's picture, you need to have some sort of recording device. DVR, VCR, or DVD recorder.

We have it connected to a digital DVR and it does record. Remember this unit only splits the signal from the cameras. So we use it to display on an extra monitor other than the one connected to DVR.

The camera can be directly connected to a PC using the included ethernet cable. You can monitor an area and record video without any other equipment. To take advantage of the other features like remote viewing or email notification you will need a router and an internet connection.

You need a dvr with Internet access to connect the camera to most dvr now have that feature. If you want just a camera you need to install an IP CAMERA.

Yes. It is a DVR and records independantly of any other source. Downloading is not required. You can connect a monitor to view the DVR playback and a PC is not required. Of course you can also use a PC or playback over an internet connection.

This unit is a camera only. It needs to be hard-wired into a dvr or computer. So it will depend on what dvr/computer you have and what software is running on it.

The monitor needs the SD card to record only. Be sure to have the monitor and camera close together and sync the camera to the monitor as the instructions advise.

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.

The supplied DVR and camera combination will work fine without an internet connection. However you will have to supply a monitor to view the recordings or live video feeds.
