[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 819069, member: 82144"] Hi and welcome dennis9999 :) So the first thing I want to clarify is that MediaPortal is PC software, which is to say that you can't use MP to distribute anything to a TV unless you have a PC (with MP installed on it) connected to that TV. That sounds generally doable. MediaPortal's TV Server (which is what I guess you'd want to use for receiving and redistributing the IP camera feeds) is really designed for tuners. I don't know how you would connect the cameras into TV Server unless they produced DVB compliant IP-TV streams... which I think is probably unlikely. If they have composite, s-video or other generic AV outputs then you might be able to capture the streams with tuner card capture inputs. Note that I say tuner card - with the exception of the Hauppauge Colossus and HD-PVR MP does not support pure capture cards. We only support capture inputs on some cards that also have a tuner. Further, if the cameras don't have an audio feed then I'm sorry but they just won't work. You can indeed use the DVD player on the PC. Are the channels encrypted? If you found a way to ingrate the cameras into the setup via TV Server then you would be able to do that by configuring the router appropriately. mm [/QUOTE]
