scgh 0 Posted February 26, 2017 Hi. We need to change the settings on our nvr as our broadband router has changed. We don't have a monitor connected to the nvr, so we want to use our laptop as the screen. We have connected the laptop to the nvr via hdmi, but we can't view the nvr. I think there is something quite simple that we must have missed. Any ideas? Please! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
