Noob to the CCTV world. And yes...I searched but could not get a clear definition for these terms I am planning a security solution for my home - and outdoor/indoor video surveliance is part of it. After reading here, I plan on buying the Dahua Standalone DVR: http://www.dahuasecurity.com/product_det.aspx?ID=676&p=cpyzc&p_kind=3&c_kind=262&c_kind2=&c_kind3= But wanted to know what are channel loop outputs, channel matrix output and spot output? Thanks in advance. Learning more and more here. Great Forum! Cheers!

Thanks Bean00! One question answered leads to another question So practically speaking...I plan to have 4 CCTV cams - 2 outdoor. Now what if I want to view all cams - multiplexed on my HDTV. Will I loop all individual channel (camera outputs) from DVR to my single HDMI/Component/RCA in on my main Audio/Video Receiver? Basically is there a way to watch all 4 cams multiplexed (PIP) on my HDTV? How?
