That worked!! Thank you so very much, I can't tell you how fantastic that is. We have to have CCTV to protect ourselves from some pretty insane people. I really appreciate your help! And Brandon, thank you for your help too. I wish you continued success in your endeavours.

It's a Toshiba 17" flatscreen TV that has a VGA mode. I appreciate that if I can't get the VGA to work, then I will just buy a composite cable and use the TV as a monitor. That is my last resort because I am concerned that the composite video quality will be worse than the VGA quality, which has not been as good as I'd hoped. I've used PC card CCTV connected to the same external cameras and linked to a laptop in the past - the quality was very good. I was very disappointed to see that the Avatech DVR had lower quality resolution, even htough in theory it shouldn't be. Thanks for responding with a question. I really don't expect to find an answer at this moment as it just seems like a silly thing for me to have done with the settings in the 1st place.

Oops, forgot to mention, the online confit does not allow access to the display change settings.

Thanks Brandon, I've tried and he's clueless. If anyone can help, it'd be appreciated. I'm not taking it for granted. Just don't know where to turn to right now. Ray

Hi all, Hope you can help please. I have an Avtech 674a connected to a VGA display. I wanted to improve the image quality so I went to the advanced settings (I think) and changed the Display settings from 'Auto' to what I think was 'VGA'. I might have accidentally selected 'Composite' instead, because after the system restarted, the VGA monitor is not picking up any video signal. I have performed a hard reset, but still have no video signal. I can still see cameras and change basic setting on the DVR by logging in remotely by using Video Viewer, but this isn't really ideal for me. I've even updated the Firmware (thanks to this forum) to 1043. Still no joy. Does anyone have a suggestion please? It's my own daft fault for not double checking the display setting I chose before restarting the system. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give. Ray
