Description:
The CVBS port (Composite Video Baseband Signal) on the back of an XVR is used for analog video output. The CVBS port provides a standard analog video signal that can be displayed on older monitors, TVs, or secondary displays. It’s particularly useful when using older equipment that does not support HDMI or VGA connections.
Note:
This step must be performed on the local monitor. Before setting up the CVBS display, connect the XVR to a monitor using an HDMI or VGA cable.
Compatible List:
