If a DVR simply records the pictures and doesn't have a monitor or a
keyboard or a mouse, how do you look at the recorded video?
How do you look at the video in real time?
How do you look at the recording times to see if motion has been
detected?

My no-name DVR box has an output for a monitor (TV or VGA) and comes
with a remote control which offers live or recorded playback through an
onscreen menu system, which also lists times of events etc. It's also
capable of continuous recording from four cameras whilst a user is
playing back and checking the recordings. This all can also be done via
several gadgets connected to a computer network but that's not entirely
necessary to use the box for the main function.
