Hello, everyone,
I'm setting up a video security system where I work and looking for a little help.
Right now I have the cameras mounted and they are connected to a splitter which is connected via a video cable to a new Vizio 20" TV/Monitor.
I can see the images clearly on the monitor. However, I need to run the screen that is on the monitor to a computer (we are buying a dedicated computer for this). I then need to connect this computer to the internet and get software where my manager can watch the place from his home (remote desktop access?).
There is an S-Video outlet as well as a blue serial cable outlet ("PC RGB" is the label) on the Vizio TV.
1. Which of these connections is more up to date? S-Video or this serial cable?
2. What is the most inexpensive option I have for a CPU or laptop computer with these connections? Recommendations?
3. Do I need any software to view what is on the TV screen on my computer? Recommendations?
Thanks for the help. Have a good weekend everyone.
