y-i-out-of-bed Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 has it got a network port? also if fairly new thay might still have it on there help area under product info on there web site www.maplin.co.uk if not it might need a scuzy cd drive if has slim 36+ pin conector on back though might just be easy to intrust the unit to the police and treat your self to a new eneo or honeywell unit maby an adata any thing with a cd/dvd drive as i dont think a usb stick will stand up in court (not sure thay might be happy to take usb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maplins have just got a newer version which says Built-in USB 2.0 port for video back up to computer, but i dont have any thing on mine, i guess im just looking for a usb like port. Tell me more about this scuzy cd drive connector, if i get one what do i do? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistle Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Another reason why buying cheap dont always pay off in the long run. Good luck. You could connect the monitor output to a VCR and make a copy on tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
