How to use laptop as a video monitor?

Question

Is there any way that i can connect my video camera to laptop and see what my camera is recording?

Answer 1

Your video camera might have a USB port. It should have come with software to install on your computer. It should have a video viewing program. If you don't have the sofware, look online for the software.

Answer 2

If your laptop has a firewire port this may be utilised by some cameras to transfer footage. This might be able to display live footage as well; just have to experiment. Good luck!

Answer 3

To use a laptop as a screen there would need to be a video input on the laptop and hardware support for it. Does your laptop has it?

I have seen, using laptop a virtual second screen by sending display data over a network connection to another running computer or may be straight thru hardware.  But your laptop should be enabled to be have a input port too .....
