How to Get Audio Working on Cheapie DVR's

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Yep, I bought cheap. Actually on my currnt budget, it wasn't "cheap" for me. But that's another thread.

 

Anyway, here's what I'm working with...

 

NiteOwl Posiden 8-channel 264 DVR

Lorex Cameras (cheap ones but with microphone.)

 

It seems to me that I cannot just connect an RCA plug to a BNC input and expect it to work.

 

I'm missing the fundamentals here.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Assuming your DVR can record audio, you should have a standard RCA jack UNDER 1 or more of the BNC video channels.

 

It should look something like this... this is a q-see qt428 image from newegg, just as an example. Then after you hook up audio source (your camera with mic) then you go in to the menu GUI of your dvr, and make sure your audio option is set to record. *NOTE: All this information is about Q-see because those are the DVR's I have, and are the only one's I am familiar with... I'm sure yours are similar (but may be different) so as always YMMV
