I am considering buying a multi-camera CCTV kit for the home, but I can not find a good way connect the DC power. The idea is to run the cables through the attic and down into the stud bay to a common double gang box in the room where the DVR would be. The wall plate would be a Quick Port just like I used to for surround sound connections. Quick Port has BNC snap in connector (http://www.levitonproducts.com/catalog/model_40832.htm) , but they have nothing for the 12V DC. I have been thinking I could buy cable extension adaptors and drill a hole in blank snap in plates, but I don't know where to buy the adators or what size is the DC plugs should be. Some one has got to have delt with this issue and hopefully has a good solution.

cute. Just the DVR in the bedroom/office right next to the WiFi router. So what would you recommend for a basic 4 camera house setup? But you did make me think other options for locating the DVR and only needing to expose RJ45 jack for a CAT5 line to the router. i was already planning to program through the PC.

If I buy the kit I am considering, it has a separate AC adaptor with in-line pig tail barrel connectors. I found the green line plugs and figured I could drill out the Quick Port blanks and super glue the Female side plug for the AC adaptor. However, I am looking for a more attractive solution because it will be mounted in a bedroom being used as an office. Things like resale value are kind of important. The Isolated Chassis Mount - 2.1 Jack below looks like a much better option than super glue and assuming that is a locking ring like an F connector. If not there is another option at the same site. Listed both at the bottom. http://www.rpelectronics.com/31-134m-2-isolated-chassis-mount-2-1-jack-pkg-2.html http://www.rpelectronics.com/360-021-chassis-jack-2-1-x-5-5mm.html
