If your laptop has an S-video socket on it, it is most likely for OUTPUT only. It allows you to display your computer screen on a television but does not take into your computer any information from an external device such as the DVR.

In order to bring information outputted by the DVR into your computer, you need a 'video capture device' installed on your computer.
