Since a recorder is a single network device, it is monitored by a single TetherBox and cannot generally be split across multiple units. This poses the question: "What if I need multiple TetherBoxes to record a single recorder?"

Once the units are activated in individual locations, each TetherBox will pick up the recorder as a single camera. You can then convert this camera to a DVR, selecting the number of required channels.

You may need to adjust the paths in the advanced tab to record the desired cameras:
