I am sorry if this is off topic and a very simple question but what items are needed to connect a DVR with CCTV cameras to the computer? From my manual, I only see a picture of a DVR next to the computer and all it says are "rs 485" "ethernet cable" and a few other tidbits. So I am guessing that the rs 485 cable is the only thing I need? However, I see people talking about Siamese cables and such so I am very confused. Again sorry for the stupid question thank you.

Ah there is a problem... I am sorry but I misunderstood and asked the wrong question. What my friend wanted to know was how to connect the DVR to a computer MONITOR only. So what would be the necessary items to do so? Again, I am sorry and I would be very appreciated if I can get assistance. THANK YOU!

Ah I understand thank you!

So, I would not need the rs 485 cable and only need to connect both the DVR and the computer to an ethernet cable? Is that all that would be needed? Sorry if I am misunderstanding. And I have four CCTV cameras, just to mention.
