Can I share a single analog camera between a DVR and the Alarm.com Video Server?

Yes. The method to accomplish this depends on if the DVR supports a feature called loop-through.

If the DVR supports loop-through  

The camera can be looped out of the DVR and into an Alarm.com Video Server. Termination for that camera in the DVR may need to be disabled.

If the DVR does not support loop-through 

The camera signal can be split using a video distribution amplifier or similar product. An example of such a product would be the Kramer PT-102VN.
