Hello

I see a VGA and RS-232c port on the back of my Tyco, digital Video
Recorder (they are female). Does anyone know what they are for, and
what can i plug into them? It is being used for cams.

Thank you

Well VGA is standard computer output so you may be able to record stuff
off of your pc.

And the RS 232 port is a data serial port. The manual should explain
this.

Hi,
VGA is for video most likely output port you can connect to a computer
monitor to see what's recorded RS232. port may be for control purpose
probably input port.

VGA is obviously for attaching a VGA monitor and viewing locally what's
being recorded. Also extremely useful for making sure your cameras are
still positioned well and not spray-painted over if you know what I mean.

As far as RS-232 connector, that one is most likely just a rudiment of a
PC which your DVR is built out of. May not be used for anything useful at
all or may be used for connections to a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) controller. If
you don't have PTZ cameras (if you did, you'd know - they are 10 times
more expensive than fixed) simply don't worry about the RS.

Cheers,
D~

Should, but I can imagine the manual saying,
12 -- input data serial port

And leaving the owner guessing.

Used to update firmware, software etc from an external pc.

Not familiar with the 12?

The RS-232 standard will explain it all, but I'm not one to spend time
on using a serial port - not in the past six years.

Hello,
In other words i can hook my computer monitor up to the DVR instead of
the way it is now (hooked up to a tv)?

Hello,

An RS-232C port is provided to connect an external modem for remote
monitoring, configuration and software upgrades, text input, and to connect
a remote control keyboard. Use a modem cable with a DB-9S (female) connector
to connect to the DVR. See Chapter 3 — Configuration for configuring the
modem.
