dvr linked on-line

[cnc]

Hiya everyone
Newbie on forum but i love this topic........iv found you at last
iv got a safecore 4camera dvr system,dont think theres hd inside records for couple days then starts again
Anyway,iv bought a pan tilt zoom dome with remote control to swap with 1 of the statick cams...i love it....im thinking getting another 1
so now id like to view it online,
My dvr system isnt nawt flash.....will upgrade asap.......but the 1 i got now has a usb socket on back,but its upstairs in bedroom and the pc is downstairs....we do have a wireless router & use laptops round the house,but how would i connect my dvr upstairs to the pc downstairs?????
Even if i could ,how would i view camera online???
iv asked guy's in maplin(not sure if i can say that?sorry mods)but basicly none ov them know apart from the prices...LOL

Any help verry much appreciated

Kindest regards

The USB on the back of the DVR will be for dumping files to a usb pen stick for viewing on a pc, the only way you can link your dvr to our pc is networking, so your dvr will need to have a patch/nat socket on the back....

Hiya there istorm mate....
Thank you so much for your help mate......
Theres no more sockets apart from camera feed etc...
Theres a space to ad a vga(i think) socket....but its just if you wanted to diy.......
I think my only option is to buy a network dvr then is it man?
With a ip address?
Then how would i connect it from upstairs dude?
So sorry for all the q's mate, i just dont have a clue
All your help is verry much appreciated dude

Kindest regards

You could either buy a networkable DVR , Or your other option would be to buy a good quality board for your PC and then you could do with it what you wanted, If you did decide to go for a new DVR you would need to create a network in your home if you dont allready have one, usualy your pc would be connected to a router for the net.... Well that router is your key to your network, u will need a patch cable (cat5) between your router and the dvr.
