Just to clarify things.........the problem has been fixed. The problem was video format. The dvr was hardcoded for ntsc format. And I was trying to use pal (being the format in my country). Thanks all the same

I just got 4 swann wireless outdoor cameras and a USB DVR (SW241-UD4). I have been able to set up the cameras to work with a VCR/TV. However getting it to work with the USB DVR connected to my Laptop has been an issue. The super DVR software which came with the USB DVR has been installed on my Laptop already. However when I connect the receiver for the cameras (cameras are wireless) to the DVR and try to view the video from the Super DVR software, the video is always distorted. Breaking up and not clear as if it is taking photo shots. What could be the issue. I'm using a Dell Latitude D630 laptop could this be the issue. or am I missing the connections? Could someone who has set this up before help out?
