Yes, it is possible to operate the DMR range
of digital recorders remotely. This is achievable in two ways;
1) By using a RS232 connection to a PC you can
remotely operate the functions of the DMR using the ASCCII code
software package (see downloads). Please note this does not allow
you to remotely view images from the unit.
2) By adding a simple network device (DMRNET)
to the DMR range, live or pre-recorded images can be viewed from
any PC connected to the same LAN, or via the internet from any
location in the world. It also gives you full control.
As long as your DVR features a composite monitor
output for playback then all you need to do is loop the video
through the VCR, for example Monitor Output to VCR IN, VCR OUT
to Monitor IN. Whatever you view on the system you can now record
on the VCR. If you're using a domestic VCR you may require a scart
to BNC cable.
