vector18 1 Posted January 21, 2013 If the dvr does not have an ethernet port than it will not have network settings as well. You can purchase a video encoder and put the video output to the encoder, but it you will not have access to the dvr functions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Owain 0 Posted January 21, 2013 You can't. If your DVR has no provision for networking, you can't add it. The DVR has no software for networking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How old is your DVR or how much did you pay for it? It must be pretty old if it does not have an ethernet port, so you got your money worth out of it already. Maybe it's time to upgrade to a better DVR with better recording resolution and ethernet. How many cameras do you have? You can find a four channel pretty cheap these days.
