hi gramma.
did you get a reset code for the dvr....im having the same problem

Hi! I'm new in this forum and also it is my first time that I have installed a Camara System. I have two problems:
First: I have installed siamese cable through the pipe of my building. When I connect the camera, the video cable is not transmitting. Can I use a video baluns to transmit the video to the DVR through power cables.
Second: I am having interference in a camera that is connected to two cables Siamese Reame Coaxial Cable. I am using a BNC MALE TWIST-ON CONNECTOR to connect both cable and a BNC DOUBLE FEMALE ADAPTOR. Could this be the problem. How can I fix this problem? Also, we're very near T-Mobile antenna tower. Could this be the problem?

OK, thank you for your help, and also in the other post. I will check out your balun hub.

Hello bigb,

In regard to the first questions you can use a single Cat-5 cable to provide video for more than one camera. Please see the following link BALUN-4HUB This will allow you to run video for 4 cameras on 1 Cat-5 line.

In regards to the second question. The most economical approach is going to be our LPR-SC600HC however this camera will read License plates at a max of 27ft. If you cannot position the camera closer than here is the next option LPR-700H.

Here is some additional info on our LPR cameras http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/License-Plate-Capture-Cameras-s/283.htm

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks James

Hello bigb,

Sorry for the delayed response. In regards to your question, With most cameras ,yes you do have to climb up to the camera every time you would like to access the cameras OSD menu. However some cameras use RS-485 cable to connect / interface with your DVR so that you can manage the OSD settings from your DVR.

Also you do not need to be a customer to get a response. However our responses on the support forum are sometimes delayed because direct customers are our 1st priority. I hope you can appreciate that.

Thanks James

A customer contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following question related to CCTV cables:

I have a small hole drilled in the brick that leads to the dvr in my living room. If I run your CCTV cable, can I cut the 3 connectors off of the end so I will be able to re-connect them again on other side after I feed the cable through the wall?

CCTV Camera Pros provided the following support:

If you are using pre-made CCTV cables like the ones on the link below, then you can not cut the connector ends off and replace them.

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Security-Camera-Cables-s/258.htm

You should use RG59 siamese cable which is made so that you can attach connectors after you run and cut the cable to your exact length desired:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/RG59-Siamese-CCTV-Cable-s/259.htm

You can see how to connect BNC crimp on connectors to RG59 cable in this video.

Please let us know if we can help further.

I guess I picked the wrong place to get help, looks like you have to first become a customer before you can get a response? Good luck with that.

CCTV Camera Pros received the following question today:

I need a recommendation for splitting the video signal from two CCTV cameras into 4 video signals. Currently, I have the analog signal from the cameras using RG6 coaxial cable at a distance of about 300 feet going into a video USB video capture device that I use for broadcasting on Ustream. I need to split the signal to feed both Ustream and a Geovision DVR card.

Can you recommend some type of CCTV video splitter for 2 to 4 cameras that won’t break the bank? I appreciate all your help!

CCTV Camera Pros recommendation:

There are 2 video splitter / amplifier solutions that I recommend you consider. Please take a look at these products:

1 in to 2 out CCTV video splitter:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Video-Splitter-Amplifier-p/amp-1002.htm

4 in to 8 out CCTV video splitter:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/BNC-Video-Splitter-p/vds-4008.htm

Please let us know if we can help further.

Also, what is the most economical approach to a license plate camera? The vehicles will be at about 50', moving slower than 30 MPH (most cases between 10 & 20 MPH)and observed from the back, both day and night. There is HPS street lighting existing directly above the proposed capture area. We do not have front plates in my state.

I am a licensed electrical contractor looking at expanding into the video surveillance market. I am setting up equipment at my home to learn the basics first.

Thanks for any help.

What are the ways to use OSD without climbing up to the camera to use the little pushbutton? Do I need an OSD keyboard or is there another way? I thought about cutting the little button control out of the camera cable and re-installing it at the dvr/monitor via twisted pair.

Can I use one cat 5 for more than one camera? And if so, would I cut and splice it at each camera or just skin the outer sheath and tap into the pair I need leaving the cat 5 intact to the next camera downstream? I will have the power supplies at the camera locations, so the cat 5 will only carry the video.

There is no path for a CAT5 cable between the DVR and the ATT 2701HG router, does anyone know a method to connect the DVR and Router using a wireless connection? I've tried an IOGear GWU627 with no luck. I've established connection between the GWU627 and the router, but cannot get past it to the DVR.

please, can anyone help me???

i am really desperate here... i really need to set up a surveillance system!

i thank you in advance.

hi,

i am new to the whole security camera surveillance stuff.

i have done some reading but i cant seem to understand a few things still. can you please help me?

i really want to set up a surveillance system in my home as i am a bit scared with all the robbery that it is happening here.

i want to set up 7 cameras in my house, 3 outside and 4 inside.

i do not want to leave my PC on.

i dont want to record on a DVR because i dont want them to steal the DVR unit.

QUESTIONS:

1. i want to be able to access the cameras LIVE over the net. so i think i need IP CAMERAS, right? are they WIFI or WIRED?

2. i do also want to record them on a server. i want to be able to browse/view the recorded videos and delete what i dont need anymore. can all this be done REMOTELY?

3. i have a personal website that is hosted with "bluehost.com", which provides me with UNLIMITED gb hosting space, gb file transfer, etc. can i take advantage somehow of this service that i already have with them?

4. to set up the project above... do i need to leave my MODEM and ROUTER on at all times? for the recording to happen? and for the LIVE view to happen? (i want to leave off as many things as i can at my house).

5. when installing the cameras, is there anything that i can install with them that will prevent them from burning when there is power overcharge?

6. i also want to be able to set up a monitor so the people inside the house can see the cameras outside. how can i do this?

nrgeek,

In our experience, it is very difficult to repair a CCTV camera that has a broken cable lead because most of the time the cable is soldered to the circuit board of the camera by machine and the connections are too small to do by hand if you wanted to try to replace it. ON the other hand, it can also be difficult to figure out how the internal wiring is done on the lead to repair it. Most of the time, we replace cameras that are in the state that you are describing. I am sorry that I do not have better news for you. Please let us know if we can help further.

A customer recently contacted us with the following questions related to using CAT-5 video baluns, a CCTV video distribution box, and CAT-5 cable for CCTV.

Here are the customer's questions:

I am hooking up a 4 camera CCTV system. I have Cat5 at each camera location. What video balun do you suggest that will work the best? I am also looking for something to be able to connect my tvs in house to my Dvr system which has a video out jack. Please let me know what you recommend.

Here is CCTV Camera Pros recommendation:

Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros. If you are only using the CAT5 to run video to the cameras, I recommend these BNC video baluns for CCTV:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/BNC-Balun-Video-p/vb-2v.htm

If you are running both video and power the your cameras, then I recommend these video and power CAT-5 baluns:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/UTP-CAT5-Balun-p/balun-pv5fm.htm

In regards to connecting a surveillance DVR with a BNC video output to multiple TVs in your house, you can use on of these cables to the video output of your DVR:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Video-Cables-p/bnc-j01.htm

To connect to multiple TVs or monitors, you will connect the other end of the BNC jumper cable to the video input of this CCTV video distribution box / splitter:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Video-Distribution-Box-p/vds-1004.htm

Then use another BNC jumper cable to connect each output of the distribution box to the video input of your TV or monitor. If your TV uses an RCA video input, then you will need a BNC to RCA converter:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-BNC-p/bncfemaletorcamale.htm

On each TV, you would select the video input that you used to switch the view from TV input to CCTV camera input.

Please let us know if we can help further.

Follow up questions from customer:

Thanks for the great info. Couple more questions though. I am wanting to hook the cameras up through my coax cable going to my tvs. There is nothing on the coax as my cable tv service is on Ethernet and on different inputs of the tv. Also for power do you recommend using the power adapters that came with the system or do I need to run a power supply panel. Not sure of the difference between the 2.

CCTV Camera Pros reply:

Yes, you can leverage the RG6 or RG59 coax cable that was used for your cable TV system. You can use the same jumper cables that I emailed you earlier about to connect to your wall outlet. You will just need to convert BNC connector on the one end to the F connector that your existing cable outlet uses. As far as the power supply, that is kind of a matter of preference. If you are running everything back centrally anyway, a lot of people prefer the power supply boxes like this one for example:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Power-Supply-Box-p/pspro-dc9.htm

However, they are more expensive than using an individual power supply for each camera like these:
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Power-Supply-p/pspro-12dc500.htm

Please let me know if I can help further.

I was given a ( Smart Home ) camera Infrared LED Model LIR-542A1 ( 4~9mm ) power DC 12V 900mA I have looked al over the net for the model to no avail .. the camera has no connectors, wire was broken about 2 ft from cam, it has red, yellow, and what looks to be a ground bare copper wire .. unless that would be the video wire ?

Id like to test the camera to see if it works... what connectors do I need and obviously I need a power 12v DC 900mA supply.
Anyone here no what wire does what and what connectors and how should I connect the camera to a computer or tv prefer computer .. video capture card ?

Thanx in advance

A customer contacted us with the following question about making the security camera cables on his Night Owl system longer:

We have a Night Owl K-84500 security camera system and need to add some extension cables to a couple of our cameras. Do you carry extension cables (plug & play) that are compatible with the connections on the Night Owl systems? If you do, what are the lengths available and cost for each?

I did not see the section on your web site regarding the BNC-to-BNC jumper cables before I sent my first email. This may work but I still have a couple of questions.

We need a total of three extension cables for our Night Owl system.

2 extensions of 25 feet (possibly only 12 feet needed)
1 extension of 50-60 feet

Do these BNC to BNC cable extensions require an adapter to fit them to the existing cables we have with the system?

Thank you for your time and assistance. I will be waiting for your reply. Is there a "best" way to order your product and how do you usually ship?

PS.........I am glad that I read your "About Us" section. I thoroughly love to do business with a fellow Veteran and appreciate the service you gave to our country! Thanks again and I look forward to your response to my request.

Here is CCTV Camera Pros reply:

Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros. Although we do not carry Night Owl surveillance systems, yes, our cables will work fine with Night Owl and any other brand CCTV system to extend the existing camera cables to be longer. As a matter of fast, Night Owl refers customers to us frequently when they need additional camera cables.

If your existing cables are Siamese (meaning that they run both the power and video), these are the cables that you want to look at:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Security-Camera-Cables-p/25vp.htm - 25 Foot
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Surveillance-Camera-Cables-p/50vp.htm - 50 Foot
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Surveillance-Camera-Cables-p/75vp.htm - 75 Foot

If it is just the video cable that you need to extend and not the power, then our BNC jumper cables will work for you:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/BNC-Video-Jumper-Cables-s/260.htm

Either way, you will need a BNC double female connector to attach the extension cable to your existing cable. You can find that part here:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-BNC-p/bnc-double-female.htm

You can order online or over the phone, whichever is convenient for you. Monday is a holiday so either way, we would be shipping on Tuesday.

Thank You for reading our about us page and for the kind words. They are much appreciated. Please let us know if we can help further.

Hello kylejb2663,

Squiggly lines can be from a number of things such as cable interference, bad terminations and the most common insufficient amount of power.

You stated that you are using a PTZ camera. Most PTZ cameras do typically require a higher amperage power source because of the motorized lens , heater/blower etc. I would check with Q-see and make sure the power box provided will work with the PTZ camera in addition to the other 8 cameras.

Second I would check the cable being used. We CCTV Camera Pros have had issues with PTZ cameras and Plug-n-Play cables (pre-terminated cables)I would make sure you are using RG59 Siamese cable for the video and power of the PTZ camera.

If it is interference more commonly known as a ground loop you can use our Ground Loop Isolators.

I hope this helps.

Thanks James

Hey Guys,

New forum user here!! Thought I'd try my luck and see if you guys can help me out with something-

I am installing a new system using the Q-See 16 Channel DVR (QT5116-1). We have a total of 11 cameras, 8 of them being normal Q-See cameras (QSM1424C2), one PTZ Q-See Camera, and two External Cameras (CP0613). We are running these all using CAT5e cabling with video/power baluns.

However, it seems like we are starting to get squigly lines or when we plug in another camera all the other cameras go out of focus. I should mention that we are also using the Q-See Power Box that supports up to 18 cameras. We tested all the cameras before we even started the job and they all worked fine. We only had one camera plugged into the DVR at a time (During testing) and that was whichever one we were testing.

Any ideas guys? Thanks for all you're help!!!

jhutchins,

Thank You for posting your questions on the forum. If you email me a layout that notes the areas that you want covered by video surveillance, we can give you a complete quote. Being that your building already has a wired and wireless network, it will likely make sense for you to consider IP cameras. Please check out the Geovision IP cameras that we supply. They are a great choice because they include NVR software. Please email the building layout to mike@cctvcamerapros.net.

Thank you.

My boss has asked me to setup a surveillance system for our plant. Im not sure where to even start. The building is huge. Its roughly 500-600 feet front to back. he wants outdoor camaras to check the parking lot and the entriances. what would be the best approach. The front half of the building is blanked with wirless networks. The back is lacking. We have networking cable through out most of the building. Most of the building is a warehouse style so running cables is pretty easy.

cub71,

The only way that I know of to get Internet access on an iPad is WIFI and 3G. I do not think that there are any other options form Apple.

Thanks.

Bg,

Thank you for posting your question to our support forum. Here is the solution for you. You can crimp both ends of your RG6 cable with a BNC connector. This one on our website is for RG59 but we also carry BNC crimp on connectors for RG6.

Here is the one for RG59.
http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-BNC-Crimp-p/bncmalecrim.htm

Then on the TV end you can use a BNC to RCA converter which will allow you to connect your TV's RCA video input.

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-BNC-p/bncfemaletorcamale.htm

If you call us tomorrow after 9:00 AM EST we can place the order for you over the phone being that the RG6 BNC connector is not on our website.

Please let us know if we can help further.

Can somebody help me on this problem?

I have a DVR security system with two BNC video outputs.

I have a 250ft RG6 cable run to tv monitor

Tv monitor has no rg6 cable inputs (it has rca/comp/hdmi/s video,)

I need to convert BNC output to run on 250ft run RG6 cable and then convert over to RCA or other options at tv monitor.

What is my options??

THANKS
Brad

We have a case where we cannot use a wireless connection between the camera and the iPad. Is it possible to get the signals via a cable?

A customer recently contacted CCTV Camera Pros looking for a BNC to RCA cable. He told us that he was having trouble finding a pre-made BNC to RCA cable from any security equipment supplier. Although at this time we do not carry a premade BNC to RCA cable, CCTV Camera Pros was able to offer the following solutions.

BNC to RCA Cable Solution #1
This is the closest solution to a true premade BNC to RCA cable that we offer and I think that it is the most convenient option.

You can use a premade BNC jumper cable

or premade siamese camera cable

and attach a BNC to RCA cable connector to one end.

BNC to RCA Cable Solution #2
If you are comfortable crimping connectors on cable yourself, this is another good option.

You can use RG59 coax cable

and attach a BNC connector on one end

and an RCA connector on the other end

Hello Bluetick,

Unfortunately the CATV input on your TV is not the same as a video input and can only accept input from a cable or satellite source. It would not work if you were to try to connect any other video device such as a DVR or camcorder into it either. The video will display correctly if the quad processor is plugged directly into a RCA video input of the TV. If you are using a cable with BNC connectors on both ends, you will need BNC to RCA converter.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks James

I feel like a real idiot... I have a Color Quad System 4 video channels, the VM-Q401A CCTV is going from monitor out to the only coax/antenna port on my tv... I'm not getting anything... On channel 4 and 5 along with the snow I will sort of see an image of possibly a menu screen, but nothing but snow on all other channels... I've tried different cables, channel searches, etc. All the normal troubleshooting... Is there some special channel this thing needs to be on? I'm sure its something simple and I'm frustrated because there is no tech support that I can find for this thing... I would think it would simply be plug and play with this multiplexer...

CCTV Camera Pros recently had a customer call and ask the following question.

Question: Can You Use CCTV Video Baluns For Monitor Output?

Answer: Yes you can use our Video Baluns to output the video from your DVR . The video Baluns are great since you can use cat-5 cable which is cheap and easy to source locally. Using Cat-5 cable you can run video up to 3000ft.

Hello,

CCTV Camera Pros Recently had a customer email with the following question:

Question: Can you tell me how the cameras are powered? I am interested in how close a power outlet needs to be to the camera? Or are there options for power over Ethernet cable or similar?

Answer: Your standard CCTV Cameras are typically powered using an Individual Power Transformer or a Power Supply Box

You can run DC power about 300ft over your standard RG59U Siamese cable and up to 1500ft with our CCTV Baluns. Please see below for more details.

We have a few options for running your power back to a central location. You can use our Plug-n-Play Cables which will run both power and video back to a central location.

We also have RG59U Siamese Cable. This cable is heavier gauge than the plug-n-play cables and will give you better picture quality especially on your longer runs 75ft+. It will also do a better job shielding and protecting the cable from any interference that can be caused by other powered device.

Last you can use our BALUN-PV5FM. This will allow you to run your power and video over a single Cat-5 Cable or if you would rather have the RJ-45 Adapter plug-in you can use our VB-2VPA

I hope this helps.

Thanks James

I hope this answers your questions. Please let me know if you have any questions.

My TriState Telecom CPI-CB1-B 590275 Camera Wires have been Cut. There is only 2 wires and the shield. Red, Blue, Shield. How do I put new ends on and how are the wires to go. I Plan on using it as a web cam now. Thank You

Hello Samuraidad,

You will be better off using our AMP-1002. It is an amplifier/splitter. It will do a better job with the split and should eliminate the quality drop issue you are having.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks James

I may not have been clear in my prior post. The picture from the DRV is fine, The picture that goes to a stand alone moitor is the problem. This picture is carried on a simease cable with 12v to a BNC Tee. Fom this point one simease cable goes to a DVR (No Problem Good Pict) the second cable from the BNC Tee goes to a monitor in a differnt part of the house. I thinking I need some type of booster to increase the signal to the monitor

We are currently running 4 of your BIPRO-9004 cameras along with a camera from a different company.$cameras are going to a DVR on one floor. One of thoese camera is split to go upstairs to a monitor and eventually a DRV. This camera is on simease cable fromthe camera to T BNC connector then one cable goes to the DVR and the other to the monitor. It is powered by a 12v transformer. My problem is the one that goes to the monitor is not clear and in night mode I usually get waves on the monitor. What can I do to correct this?

I am in the "planning phase". I have been up in my attic exploring the areas where the cables will be routed. The biggest problem seems to be the area from about six feet in toward the center of the attic to the area where the cables will be fed through a drilled hole in the outside fascia board. This area is about a foot high at six feet in and maybe four inches about six inches in. The hole in the fascia board may be below the floor level.
I'm thinking maybe to run a rigid wire from the outside in until I can reach it from the inside. Then pulling some string from the inside back out through the fascia board.
Any siggestions??
TYVM!!

I have installed at DW-VMAX8 DVR. In the recording schedule I have marked that there be no recording between 8 am and 5 pm. Is there a way to prevent web access to the live feed during those times? I would prefer that we not be required to unplug the CAT5 from the router.

Thanks
Michael

I have installed a DW-VMAX8 DVR. In the recording schedule I have marked that there be no recording between 8 am and 5 pm. I expect to be able to see a live feed and I can. However, when I search the recordings video is still being recorded. I have it set to record at all other times. Any idea what could be going wrong?

Thanks
Michael

Here is a recent chat transcript with a customer regarding cabling options:

Customer: Hello, I need help powering my cameras...what type of connector would I use to hook up the siamese cable power end to the camera end?

Customer Support: DC Flying Lead - http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Power-Cable-Lead-p/pt-3.htm

Customer: Ok then what can I use to connect the ends of that to the siamese cable? Should I solder them and then cover them with black tape or use some kind of crimper?

Customer Support: That should be fine. You are just splicing the raw wires. Butt connector or wire nut will work as well.

Customer: Do you guys sell those?

Customer Support: No, but they are quite common.

Customer: Ok great...and how about the power for the other end? Should I get a power supply box or just splice the power adapters?

Customer Support: I would recommend the distribution box. Or, you can use the PT-4 Power Lead - http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Accessory-PT4-p/pt-4.htm with individual power adapters for the cameras.

Customer: Ok thanks. One more question... What type of coax wire would I need so that the ends properly crimp down onto the wire?

Customer Support: RG-59 Siamese has both the coax for video and the copper pair for power - http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/RG59-Siamese-CCTV-Cable-s/259.htm

Customer: I will go ahead and purchase that.

Customer Support: With Crimp-on BNC connectors - http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-BNC-Crimp-p/bncmalecrim.htm

Customer: Do you sell the compression connectors? I have a compression tool.

Customer Support: http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Connector-p/bnc-male-connecttight.htm

Customer: Great thanks.

Customer Support: Thanks. Have a good day.

hengchan,

The VM-99516 16 channel CCTV multiplexer can support PAL or NTSC video modes. You can manually select which mode you want the multiplexor to run in my accessing the menu system, then selecting video system. Once the video system menu comes up you will see the following three options:

1. AUTO : Auto detects NTSC or PAL, ir channel 1 camera is connected
2. NTSC : Sets video system to NTSC mode
3. PAL : Sets video to PAL mode

If your multiplexor is set to auto and that is not working correctly, please select NTSC mode to manually set.

Please let us know if we can help further.

Recently, I bought 4 VM-99516 multi-sync 16 channel security camera multiplexers.
When it connected to the PAL CCTV camera, the pictures showed good on the monitor.
When it connected to the NTSC CCTV camera, the pictures show
blur. Adjusting the camera focus didn't help out the situation. Then, I connected the NTSC camera directly to the monitor, the picture was good.
Also, I did modify the multiplexer camera setting; such as, contast, sharpness and so on. The problem is still the same. Changed to other multiplexer, the problem is still the same too.
Any suggestion? Is the VM-99516 not compatible with NTSC cameras?

My employer has a CPCam 8 channel mpeg4 dvr and at one point it was working, then after someone did maintenance by adding a new camera, was 3 now has 4, we can no longer login with admin/admin.
I can ping 192.168.1.110 and i get a reply so i know I'm talking to the DVR. I can user I.E. and connect to http://192.168.1.110:80 and get prompted for the userid and password, but I get rejected.
Is there a way to reset the factory setting?
I've tried admin/admin, admin/0000, admin,1111, admin/1, admin/11111111, Administrator/admin, Administrator/1111, all combinations.

Another thing I find odd is that when I hit the power button it won't power off. So if someone set the secondary security, then no one here knows how to get it unset.

I called the tech support hotline and I don't get called back, so I'm really hoping you can tell me how to flash this back to factory defaults.

A customer contacted us today with the following questions:

Can you link two "Power and Video Cable-PlugnPlay" cords using a "BNC Double Female Connector for CCTV" to increase the length of the wire?

>> Yes.

If so, how long would I be able to connect cables in this fashion before their performance is affected?

>> We recommend no longer than 200 feet. If you need to go longer than 250, we recommend RG59 Siamese cable.

Thank let us know if CCTV Camera Pros can help further.

I am trying to get a customer up and running online. We are using a NUUO surveillance DVR and a Dynex router. I would like to create a static route (reserve an IP address) for the NUUO PC. I basically need this PC to obtain the same IP address in case of power outages so we don't have to go back in the router and modify the IP address of the port forwarding every time there is a power outage. Does anyone have any experience with setting up static internal IP addreses using Dynex routers?

Thank You for contacting CCTV Camera Pros. We carry guaranteed 95% copper RG59 Siamese cable which can be found here:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/RG59-Siamese-CCTV-Cable-s/259.htm

On that same page you can also find male and female power pig tail leads, AKA PT-3 and PT-4 leads.

We recommend either using crimp on BNC connectors or BNC compression connectors which can be found here:

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-BNC-Crimp-p/bncmalecrim.htm

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Connector-p/bnc-male-connecttight.htm

If you feel like coming down to South Florida next month, we will be hosting a small seminar on NUUO surveillance systems. You can find out more here:

Someone from Florida contacted CCTV Camera Pros with the following questions:

A Google search led me to you and now I see you are in Florida (where the house my wife and I bought) is as well (Parrish, FL).

Here is the deal - I have experience in alarm systems and home wiring so I took a run at doing cameras around our house since we are only here part of the year. 16 Channel Swann DVR, basic cameras that came with it and supplemented by some odds and ends to fit specific needs.

DVR is on the air and three of the cameras came up fine. Those three all used the kit cables that came along with the system. The others I have to say were all wired with pre-made cables off of Ebay 150 ft or less. I pulled a camera down this morning to check it on the DVR and sure enough the camera is fine.

OK so I had to learn the hard way!! :-) I do bulk cable and make my own network and video cables, who knows why I thought I should go the way I did.

So now I am looking for bulk Siamese cable that is GOOD stuff for openers (pulling in a Florida attic was not my idea of fun the first time - doing it again.... well.....

I guess that means I need BNC connectors to go along with it and I suppose if I am to do it "right" compression would be the right answer?

What I don't see is the male and female power connectors to go along with the BNC's.

Can you point me to the right parts and numbers for all of this so I am not guessing?
