Hey guys great forum. I have worked mostly in fire and security aspect of the industry for over 10 years and I no just enough about cctv to be dangerours. D .
Here is the story- new college kids moved in next story after 10 years of peace and quite elderly people. Now the wife and I decided were going to keep a eye on them.(Well I`ll be doing all the work HAHA)
My CCTV system for my home consists of a 8 channel DVR/wburner(I believe its a Matrix) with 3 IR cameras for now. I used RG59 Siamese out to the cameras. Made all my connection made a nice size hole behind the camera mount and in everything went. I thought I was ok....After looking at the cameras through out the evening, I have noticed that sometimes the monitor has lines running up the screen on one of the channels the other one is fine. Is this a bad connection issue if so is it easy to troubleshoot. I don`t want to keep making new bncc ?
Also I had the option of using RJ11 cable but went with the siamese (I figured it was more durable)is the RJ11 better I can easily rewire if my bnc connections are going to be a issue. I liked that the RJ11 was a lot smaller just like a plug and play.
One more big thing. I put the DVR in the basement(makes way to much noise for the wifes liking,(fans,fans and more fans) with a monitor running to my living room. My DVR has usb ports and I use a wireless mouse to control all menu functions. The problem is some spots in the living room are in dead zones. Do they make something like a usb port adapter that I can run up to the monitor ? Then I would plug the mini receiver into that and use my wireless mouse anywhere in the area of the monitor
Sorry for the winded thread !!
Thanks for your time,any thoughts would be appreciated.
