jig Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hi All, I have a dedicated micros digital sprite dvr sl dx16C which im trying to connect to a normal monitor with vga connection. I have got the right convertors to get the cable from the monitor into the back of the dvr (using a 9pin to 15pin male then 15pin male to 15pin female which then takes the monitor cable!!). I cannot get a picture on the screen What other configuration setting do I need to set to ensure I get a signal/picture?Is there a setting in the menu? Also is there a cable that doesnt needs so many addons that can go straight from dvr to the monitor!!? Thanks Jig:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 The monitor output from the DM is via BNC only. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchdogSecurity Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 You will probably need a TV card with VIDEO IN usually i the form of a yellow phone socket. Watchdog Security (Manchester) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesutton Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 If you want to use a vga monitor you have to get a converter to change it from bnc to vga and there about  Lee Sutton E-Mail: leesutton@centurianfire.co.uk Website: www.centurianfire.co.uk Phone: 0845 094 9870 CENTURIAN FIRE & SECURITY (part of centurian group limited) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky83 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I think we may have had about 4 in total do this. I think two we sent back but if you get them places like LJD you are wasting your time! I've got two others that have just gone over their year guarentee but you cant expect the customer to pay. We've found if you find a DVR with a VGA output and buy a better known make flat screen monitor you can scrap the VGA converter box altogether.

jig Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Seen as the bnc to vga convertor's are not great, what are good lcd panels that have bnc inputs? What is the picture quality like and best places to buy from?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCD TV's tend to have a composite video input, the site will need a Tv Licence so not a solution for all situations. to get an lcd monitor only (no tv) are very expensive, Norbain do a 17" about If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
