Q:
This system does not come with a monitor. What type of monitor can be used? What type of video connection does SN301-8CH-002 have?
Asked on 4/18/2010 by DBIGCAT from Highland Park, IL

- A:
  Hi DBIGCAT,
  
  In terms of monitor usage, you can use any type of television or a computer monitor. The reason for this is because the SN301-8CH comes with two RCA video connections (which hook up to any standard television) as well as a VGA connection (which hooks up to most - if not all, computer monitors). This means that you can pretty much use any type of television or monitor to view your cameras and footage. You can even connect more then one television to the DVR at the same time.
  
  For more information on RCA connectors you can go to the following link:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector
  
  For more information on VGA connections, you can go to the following link:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector
  
  I hope this helps!
