Surveillance Feedback: Hi,
Some DVR’s can connect to the network to allow remote viewing and backup. Check if your DVR has this feature by consulting the manual or asking the supplier.
I am assuming you dont have a CD or USB backup device on your DVR, so the only other way to backup to your PC is to try the following.
Buy or rent a USB video capture device, like the Dazzle product which allows you to connect any analogue video source to your PC, record it, touch up the video and output to any CD, DVD, Video file you like. It will take a very cheap BNC to phono cable to connect to the DVR to the Dazzle product.
Use the software provided with Dazzle to do what you need to.
