I sent my original unit back after about 2 weeks, it quit working. They sent a replacement. I sent my replacement unit back after about 4 months because it quit working. I am waiting for an answer from the original seller on a "small fee" that they are going to charge me, pluse I'll have to pay shipping. If it were me again, I wouldn't buy one of these.

As far as I know, DVR video formats are not playable on anything other than the recording device or a computer. Copy the DVR files onto a computer first, convert the video to a more common video format, then burn that file on a DVD.

The recorded images can be viewed on your laptop by removing the SD card from the Covert Alarm Clock DVR and inserting into the SD slot on your laptop. It can also be viewed by plugging in the RCA cables if your laptop/computer monitor allow. Please see owner's manual for more information.

Sometimes ...It depends on the remote control features which are supported for your DVR. I have a TIVO, and can watch recorded programs on my TIVO from my PC. From my android phone I have difficulty starting a recorded program, but once started, I have little control other than returning to the menu.

Zhao, did you ever solve this problem? I cannot get Flipshare to show previews and therefore cannot move videos to my PC or edit them. The Flipshare tech support kids are earnest but utterly unable to suggest a solution. After one week of back and forth their "engineers" have only managed to suggest that I reload the software and reboot my computer. Sigh.

Internet is the only option for liveview through smartphone and computer. Hence, it will definitely work without internet if you just want to record on your DVR.

I don't see a button for "DVR". I am trying out a 880 before I give it to my mom and the only way to get to "DVR" is through DEVICE then PVR and then the DVR button is on page one. I don't see a DVR button on this "one" either. Am I missing something?

You have to format the disk with the DVR, it cannot read the windows file format, The instructions tell you how to format the disk in the dvr, then reboot and your set.

The DNR and attached hard drive have to be in the same local network. You can playback the video that is recorded from anywhere. Maybe there is some hack that would make the DNR think the cameras are attached locally but not sure how that would work. The software it comes with is pretty clunky. This is no industrial setup to say the least.

Yes this dvr has the ability to format over and use it. Hopefully this will help

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.

the Vudu app is on there, and I have a subscription, but for some reason the movies keep stalling saying there's an issue with the internet connection. Yet any other app I use, like Nexflix and Amazon, are fine. I never had trouble with Vudu on my old DVR, but it's unusable on this one.

I did not have your problem . Make sure scoutGuard is on when pluged into remote . go thru your menu options to get captured photos displayed , I just pull the SD card and install in a computer to view Photos . The photos in the remote are hard to see in detail any how.

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.

Well first you have have them hooked up to your router so they can be viewed online and through the internet . Then just download the zmodo app and add the dvr and its info and you should be able to view them
