Care to explain, I'm not very techy.

A KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) switch is a hardware device that allows you to control multiple computers or devices with a single set of peripherals, such as a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
In the context of using one monitor with multiple DVRs/cctv, a KVM switch can be used to switch between the different DVRs/cctv inputs and display the output on the shared monitor. This can be particularly useful for surveillance systems where you need to monitor multiple camera feeds simultaneously from different DVRs.
Here's how it works:
1. You connect each DVR/cctv to the KVM switch using video cables, such as HDMI or VGA, and USB cables for controlling the DVRs.
2. Connect the KVM switch to the shared monitor using a video cable.
3. Using the KVM switch, you can switch between the different DVR/cctv inputs to display their output on the shared monitor.
For example, if you have four DVRs/cctv cameras, you can connect them all to a 4-port KVM switch. Then, you can switch between the different inputs to view the output from each camera on the shared monitor.
Overall, a KVM switch can be a convenient solution for managing multiple devices that require a shared monitor, such as surveillance systems with multiple DVRs/cctv cameras.
