Firstly.Thank you for your PROMPT reply.
Hi. To value safety then recording is important...... If you can't look back after a problem it's pointless.
I agree but at this early stage she just needs to KNOW who's at the door and whether she is to open it safety chain or not. OK?
Colour dome with IR and a dvr is not going to break the bank.
Yes I realise that and actually have said i will 'change' the device however I need to know how the picture in picture is done !!
As far as getting picture to her tv .....you would use the existing cable so place the dvr by the tv.
Yes of course it will be behind the TV as that is were the double coax arrives a pair for power (red and white) and the coax camera feed.
The black / white box you talk about ... Will not work with new smart TVs.
Oh dear that was my 'funny' which obviously dropped down like a lead balloon, I was talking about the box behind the TV, black/ white/green/blue whatever I will need !!! so what you are saying in essence is that a standard DVR will do P in P and I buy 'nothing special' if this is the case, will she have the ability to access the P in P and expand it to full size when somebody enters the pictures capture area, I am talking about the TV end NOT the camera's ZOOM capability if it has the facility.
Thanks again for your kind reply
But most smart TVs now have p in p ....picture in picture so you only need to connect dvr to a HDMI input.
THANKS grateful I did not know that......
