Laptops, notebooks, tablets, PCs and Macs can not be used as display screens for Concord Security systems via their HDMI or VGA ports. These computer connectors are outputs, used only for connecting external screens, and they do not work as inputs to display video from other external devices.
The HDMI or VGA outputs on the Concord Security systems are intended to be connected to "dumb" screens, such as TVs and computer monitors via HDMI or VGA. Once you have completed setup on a screen, you can connect a phone and use the Concord Security phone app to view and manage your unit.
Otherwise, to view and record on a PC, buy a HDMI USB capture dongle such as XC4661, plug the Concord's HDMI cable to the dongle, and connect it to your PC's USB port.
You can use the Windows Camera app, or OBS (Open Broadcaster) to view and record the Concord's video output.
