Is it possible, if so how, to run multiple ones of these is series to one single Microphone input in the back of my Swann DVR-B8960 ?

I would ask Radio Shack since they deal in Swann products and have a host of connectors that would probably work. They have been very helpful with my system and helping me in different issues.

Technically you can't, but you might have issues with both trying to take over the same port, or the computer might read them as the same microphone. In theory I think you could with some tinkering. I've connected two microphones to my PC before but with two different microphones.

Hi Kevin,Yes two will work at the same time allowing you to record 8 HD channels. Most of the significant requirements are for playback, not recording, so the stated system requirements will work for recording 8 HD channels at the same time.Thanks,-Jeremy

I can't say definitively if there is no all-in-one eyetv-like product with built-in dual cable input, but I'd really doubt it. Why not put a A/B switch like this [ http://www.amazon.com/PHILIPS-PH61007-A-B-Switch/dp/B0001GGXMW ] before the eyetv hybrid? Still allowing only one or the other input...would have to manually flip the A/B switch. Were you hoping to record a program off the air and off of cable at the same time (or close to the same time, when you wouldn't be around, or have to remember, to flip the A/B switch)?

I am unable to answer with certainty because my DVR is also Swann. However it appears that all or most cameras use the same type of wires. This suggests that the answer is yes. The resolution lines of the camera should at least equal that of your dvr though if you want your usual quality.

No. I wasn't sure, so I just tried it. The DVR has one tuner, so it can be tuned to one channel to record while you watch another channel on your TV. I tried recording 2 shows at once, but it only recorded the first one that I programmed.

Yes, you can do that, but there will be some loss through the 2 way splitter. I run everything through this device. I have 3 cable tv dvrs, a cable modem and a telephony modem all hooked up to this device. Normally it is suggested to run a splitter, 1 leg to your cable modem and 1 to the amp. You do not need to do this with this device

I have two of these. I use one for groom and one for bride. I DID try to do that, using two transmitters and the one receiver - the receiver 'argues' over which one to sync with... Drop outs were occurring. So I think the practical answer is... no, you can not use two transmitters/mics to one receiver. Hope this answers your question.

yes I have done this. You can record one at a time, or 2,3 or all 4 at once. It MUST be connected to either a PC or MAC to do any of this.

If you only have one stereo system with one set of speakers, and a modern TV built for gaming and multiple input sources there's no need for something like this. I don't use it, unless I've got 4 speakers running on 2 channels, or a VCR and a DVR or both. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to set up everything through the VCR/DVD/DVR box (including the stereo~~even 5 or 7 channels) if you switch off between channel one and channel 3 with HDMI system.

Hello Martin,my wife is logged on and I saw your post.I have this recorder,Dp-008.8 tracks but you can only record 1or 2 at a time,then go back and record on another 1or 2 until all 8 are full. There's only 2 inputs anyway.this is true for the dp-oo4 4trk also.Mabey a different brand or I know most 16tr recorders allow 4 at once.Hope this helps,you probably have your answer already. Allen

only if you need to connect more than 4 directv tuners. One line per tuner i.e. not DVRs take one line and DVRs need 2 lines

The DVR has a RCA type connector labeled Audio in, it can have as many Audio inputs as cameras it supports. You just plug the microphone in there with a RCA male to male cable that you need to buy if it's not included with your microphone.

I'm not sure, I know that it can operate more than 3 on 1 dvr. It depends on how you program it and what protocol your using as well as the protocol on the dvrs.

Never tried it but you should be able to, most recording software will recognise the input so you shouldn't have a problem.You can plug the other end of the 1/4 into the mix port and you should be able to use both mics.

One receiver=one program at a time. The DVR has just one receiver so, whether watching live TV or recording, the unit can only receive one program at a time. Use an RF splitter to send a signal to both your TV and the DVR and you'll be able to record one show to the DVR and watch a different show simultaneously on your TV using the TV's receiver.You can watch a show previously recorded to the DVR hard drive while simultaneously recording another show to the hard drive.

I'm not at my dvr at the moment - but you can record audio on at least channels 1 and 2. I do not believe audio record is available on the other 14 channels. For channels 1 and 2 you can add a microphone to the cameras and connect to the dvr.
