Is it possible to link the cctv system to a smart TV via Bluetooth or other means?
Colt, Solihull
I am afraid the only way to connect this CCTV Kit to a Smart TV is via the included HDMI cable. If your Smart TV has web browsing capability you could view an IP Camera on your TV via the browser. IP Cameras suitable for this CCTV Kit are due from Yale later this year.
