kirkscoobz 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Sorry, it is the Avtech 674 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted February 23, 2011 No. The DB9 port on that unit is for alarm input/output; it's not an RS-232 serial port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted February 23, 2011 Sorry, it is the Avtech 674 you could just make a crossover network cable to go from your dvr to pc and use the avtech remote software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soundy 1 Posted February 23, 2011 Any computer store should be able to provide a crossover cable... of you can connect the two via any handy network switch, hub or router. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soundy 1 Posted February 23, 2011 I wouldn't bother with fleaBay if you have any computer stores nearby - it shouldn't cost any more at retail, and you won't have to worry about getting some piece of junk in the mail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
