Hi, I have an existing 'cameras wired to dvr' system with an ethernet wire from the dvr to my wireless router which I can monitor wirelessly on my laptop. This system works fine, well sort of fine. I have changed my broadband supplier to BT and have a new BT router. However at some point around this time (I can't say if it was exactly the same time or sometime afterwards) all of my cameras suddenly became very pixelated on the laptop (the are still clear on a TV which is connected directly to the DVR). I have two questions. 1, Can anyone think of any reason why the pictures are so pixelated now when they were fine before? Might it be a compression issue? I haven't altered any settings on the DVR or laptop, in fact I don't even know if there are any settings to alter. 2, Can I hard wire from the DVR to my laptop using an ethernet cable, USB cable or whatever? And if so how do I get my existing monitoring program to recognise the wired connection or do I need to find and install a new program to do this? I am using NetDvr on my laptop (which came with the DVR). The DVR is a Sanan model SA-2110B

Hi Samir, thanks for your reply. That is exactly what I'm trying to do. I have plugged an ethernet cable from the DVR to the laptop but I don't know where to find the DVR on my laptop. Do I have to disable the DVR wifi on my local network for it to work by cable or am I doing something totally wrong? Thanks in anticipation.

Thank you for your replies. I will have a go and let you know the outcome.
