The Commercial Stream Video Recorder plays back live and recorded video locally to one or two monitors using its HDMI and/or VGA outputs. The ADC-CSVR126 can output the video of all of the cameras associated to it.

Note: Remote playback is possible using the Alarm.com customer website or Alarm.com app.

To connect the ADC-CSVR126 to a monitor/TV:

Connect the ADC-CSVR126 to up to two monitors/TVs using its VGA and HDMI ports
  • When a single display is connected to the Commercial Stream Video Recorder, recorded and live video are both available on the same display.
  • If two displays are connected, recorded video is available on the primary display and live video is available on the secondary display. For more information about adjusting the primary and secondary displays, see Adjust the ADC-CSVR126 local display settings.
Connect a USB mouse to the ADC-CSVR126

It is recommended to use the USB port on the back of the ADC-CSVR126 and reserve the front USB port for exporting footage. If a USB mouse is unavailable, the control pad is capable of some navigation.
