Integration with existing standalone LCD video monitors in house

maxhill — Tue, 03 Jan 2017 13:00:42 GMT

Hi,

I'm interested in upgrading my home surveillance system. Currently I have wired cameras that continuously transmit on 2 LCD monitors built in the kitchen and master bedroom stud wall using a wireless hub from Swann using standard cables and of course record on a mini DVR.

What I would really like to keep us the constant monitoring of the outside cameras on the screens. I'm prepared to tinker to make it work.

Any advice how I could keep my monitoring screens in the house? Is there a video output on the arlo Q setup I can connect my wireless video hub to?

If that fails, I would think I would get some cheap tablets to replace the dedicated LCD screens that continuously show the ARLO app/website? Would that work?

Anytone doing this type of thing?

Thanks

The only camera that MAY work for you is the Q cameras... the other Arlo cams auto shut down at about 30 mins ( sw to preserve batteries )

Along with the Qs, you may have to go with the CVR option...

We had tested in the beginning as to how long the Q would stay on in LIVE VIEW mode, but along the way the sw has changes a number of times and I am not 100% it will stay on all the time now. This question would have to prob be answered by Netgear direct now unless one of us take the time to restest ( I don't have the CVR option ).
