Can you hook it straight to your desktop usb tower and still be able to watch it?

Yes you can. I hooked mine to the TV with a HDMI Cord then attached a 30' USB cord with an inline amp to my computer tower. I ran the wire under the floor to my TV-PC works pretty good. The only thing I'm going to do different soon is get a shorter USB cord due to signal loss which was expected with the 30' cord I am using.

Both the original and the new display will work simultaneously with this adapter.

I didn't see an easy way to do it. If you wire it into you computer then yes but that would require the computer software to do that (not sure if it is included) but I did enjoy the ability to watch tv in a corner while working on the computer.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to do so for two reasons 1. This monitor requires two USBs (one for power and the other for more power and the signal) 2. This monitor requires DisplayLink drivers which are only available for Mac, PC, and a couple variations of Linux as far as I now

If you mean run the signal through the computer, yes. But ,you have to use the monitor as the receiver then use the USB cable to divert the signal to the computer. Please ensure that you have downloaded the uniden software to allow it to play.

Yes, we hook up our TV (big monitor) to watch Hulu and Netflix with the HDMI. The desktop appears on the big screen. There are some settings you can play with to extend your desktop or just duplicate what is on the main screen.

You can. Not a feature I have tied yet. USB drive seems to be the best answer and of course you would need to set it up in your setup menu.

Can I view the video stream using nothing but a browser ? I don't want to install anything.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

Is your pc capable of watching 3d?? If you recorded a 3d using this one and transferred it to your pc using its usb cable then you can watch it there...y

You can connect it via HDMI or DVI, there is no USB video source unless you have 2 monitors.

You can.That's basically how I set mine up.Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere.Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

You can plug a USB drive into the monitor and access it from a computer attached to the monitor. You cannot do this without a computer attached to the monitor.

While I am not 100% sure on this, as I am not interested in this functionality, I do not believe there is a live feed option. There are a couple of ports and this may be something it can do, one port is for continuous power feed, the other may allow for USB download, but I am not clear on whether this is just for download of the video, or live monitoring.

Do not buy this, it has been very unreliable for us. If you do, it does stream from any device that is compatible with USB 2.0 specification as long as you can install the application. I do not believe you can install the app on your receiver, but then again, I am not an expert on that.

I wondered the same thing. It took me a month to figure out- and then believe it's really that simple- that YES, I can simply connect my high-end laptop to my mid-range flat screen TV, by HDMI to HDMI ports on each device, and stream anything I could get on my laptop, directly onto my flatscreen TV... But, why on earth WOULD I WANT TO? YES- You CAN do it, but why bother? If you do use your PC as a live stream (to TV) device, then every time you want to watch live-stream TV (vs. cable TV), you have to remove your laptop from it's current location (ie, maybe you were using it earlier,

There are several free apps for that; it depends on if you want the Mini-PC to do everything or if you capture on a PC and then playback on the mini. Playback works (OK) but to do the whole thing is tricky, but can be done with a high speed enough connection, USB 2.0 may not cut it.The Mini-PC is not very stable from a wireless point of view it lost the signal many times while I was trying to stream from a local NAS box via wireless. For the current price, I recommend a ROKU for steaming and a custom (software) Rasberry Pi for the capture device.Good luck!

You can only plug it into a computer for now (via USB). But if your computer is connected to your TV, you can still see things on the big screen.
