    I’ll start by saying that I’m completely ignorant of cctv equipment. Now you know. our shop bought Lorex C581-CB-Z cameras based solely on a friend’s recommendation. We have them installed to monitor shop equipment and naively thought we could simply plug the two cameras into two new TVs. How foolish. Lorex tells us that we have to have their DVR also. While I recognize them as the experts I also recognize this forum as a group of experts. is this correct or is there a quick (cheap) and dirty way to connect the Lorex camera to a regular TV with some sort of converter? Thanks in advance

    The DVR is only 1080. I tried only one camera to no avail. I think I may have neglected the HD feature you previously mentioned. I can get into the menu of the dvr and it confirms the 1080 im not at shop so I don’t have access. I’m beginning to think I really need to get the Lorex dvr as much as I don’t want to pay the premium. thanks. Pife

    Hi Tom. I just connected JZTEK hybrid dvr and I have it configured cvi. The tv shows the four “channels “ but no camera video picture. I have power to the camera and tried both hdmi and video input to tv. I’m not getting anything from the dvr except the split screen. I know you can’t trouble shoot from your house but in general am I missing something? any help or suggestions would be most appreciative. greg.
