ICam with USB DVR
« on: January 04, 2013, 05:16:33 AM »
Hi

I am new at this forum and would like some help!

I recently bought on e-bay a usb dvr (can´t post the link but can be easily found on ebay by searching usb dvr). Basicly, I connect the usb dvr to a computer and the cameras to the usb dvr and the computer will work as a regular dvr, storing the images and video. As the cameras will be connected to the pc through the usb dvr, will I be able to use ICam to see what the cams see?

Hope you can help!

Regards

OUAnthony

The only way you'll be able to use it is if the USB DVR supports a live mjpeg stream or if Windows recognizes the device as a USB webcam. Does the DVR show up as a video source in a program like Skype? If so, you might be able to use it.
