Now sorted thank you for all the help

Hi any feedback appreciated.. The way i view my cctv at the moment is i have a 16 camera multiplexer connected with a keyboard. the multiplexer is located outside of my house. because i didn't want all of the cables from 16 cameras coming into the house it's a lot of cables . so i only have 2 cables coming into the house 1 is a RG45 ethernet cable this is the connection to the keyboard the other cable is a vga going to a tv monitor and although i cant get into the settings menu from the keyboard i can access and change the camera sequence this is all i need to do so this work ok for me. this system as been working fantastically but it is now time to replace it. so going back to my original question can i use 2 dvrs in the same way. i don't have this system connected to the internet. its only for home viewing,

Hi i.ll try to explain what i'm after and hopefully someone might be able to help. i basically want to put a camera in one of my bird nest boxes. ideally wireless and be able to put it. on a forum that i use. so my friends can watch live video of events happening. but doing this safely so that no one can access any settings when viewing. also are there any laws against doing this. a little bit about the distances and what i have . i have a o2 wireless router. the distance from the bird box to the router is 130 feet. the house is built from brick so 2 brick walls and a block built garage plus the timber shed stand between the router and bird box. a booster or something else can be moved upstairs giving a clearer direct signal if needed. if this is possible any advise on whats needed would be greatly appreciated thank you,

hi tomcctv yes it is a cable issue. although i do have cctv cameras already in place i didn't set it up the straight forward easy way. ive got the multiplexer in the bird house with the cameras and power to the cameras. all in the same place . i then have just 2 cables running all the way to my house. one is the cable that goes directly into my tv from the multiplexer the other cable is a ethernet cable going from the multiplexer to a remote keyboard. doing it this way saved me running 16 camera cables from the shed to the house. and it works for me. so no direct camera cables come into the house. so this is why i'm looking at the wireless option,

sorry for the late reply tomcctv and ssnapier. yes tomcctv i do have power at the birdhouse end i do already have a cctv system in place. i'm using a baxall 16 channel multiplexer. its a older system but its working great. but i cant really run anymore cables to the house so thats why i'm looking at wireless ways of doing this. thankyou ssnapier. haha i think i'll have to get a more computer saffie guy than me to work this one out . do you think something like this would work for me. or is the distance to great. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Wifi-Wireless-IP-CCTV-Camera-Security-Network-IR-Night-Vision-Monitor-Cam-UK-/161241367538?pt=UK_CCTV&hash=item258abc03f2

sorry same subject posted twice can admin please delete this one i dont seem to be able to

Hi I want to add 4 more cameras in another building. the building is about 40 feet away from the other building. that i have my dvr in. i already have 2 cameras in the building. i've used rg59 cable for the 2 cameras. and i've used normal plug in power adapters to power the cameras. the problem i have is that the rg59 cable runs through 1 1/2 waste pipe. but its not a straight run . i have a 45 degree elbow coming out of one building with a 6ft drop then another 45 elbow fitting . then a straight run but this is under my paving slabs. this is a straight 40ft run going into the other building. now i can use the existing rg59 to pull new cables in. what i'm wondering is which cables will be best for me . i also want to power the cameras. remembering i cant pull any cable through with fitting attached because of the elbows they would likely get stuck in the pipe. so should i just pull 6 shotgun cables or is there a better way of doing the job,

thankyou jazzar that sounds like a easy way to do it. but ive already gone and pulled rg59 shotgun cable through now. it was a bit of a struggle but i managed. thanks for the reply,

Hi everyone sorry if this problem i have as been discussed before but here goes i believe its called groundlooping. that i have i will post a short video of whats happening on my tv screen.i have tried a few things to try to resolve this issue. they is 8 cameras in use .i have unplugged them all and turned each one on to see which camera or if it was all of them but it made no difference. i was using power adapters to each camera and i was told maybe one or all of these may be causing the issue. so i put the cameras to one power adapter but the problem is still there.its been suggested that i need ground loop isolaters to each camera. do you think this will help or can someone suggest something else i can try. or is it a case of just put up with it. any help appreiciated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Got3zsKRsg

sorry about that. you seen the video and the problem i was getting .well i thought ground looping . till it was suggested electrical interference. so i did a bit of unplugging and found the cause. for each camera i was using i add individual power adapters plugged into power sockets close by the cameras. i changed this to one individual power supply to all the cameras. at first this made no difference. until i turned the power supply of to the power sockets that i add used for the power adapters . then the inteference went away.

thankyou for the help you have given me i now have the problem sorted . thank you to the toss... and ssnapier.. for pointing me in the right direction. i simply unplugged the power leads that i previously add the camera power adapters plugged into and hey presto no more interference . so again thank you. although it wasn't a big issue its made a huge difference to the picture quality,

what would be the least distance the cables could be from the lighting cable. one other thing all the lights go out at night i have them on a timer switch. but i still have the problem on the tv.

thankyou for the reply i do have fluorscent lights in the room and the cables do run alongside the light cables. i'm using pre made bnc to phono. from the cameras to the multiplexer. i was using individual power adapters to each camera. but i changed to one main power adapter. using bnc video dc cable to each camera. if it is a case of the lights effecting the picture .i take that the isolaters will be no good and won't make any difference. so without moving all the cables about is there anything i can do to better the picture quality.

thank you for all your advice guys. i fitted a ground loop isolater but unfortunatly i'm still getting the exact same problem so it looks like it is the cable thats the problem. oh well it looks like a day of swearing and pulling new cabling . i should have done it right first time shouldn't i,

hi all just a little bit of advice wanted. i recently set up my cctv and i am getting a bit of interference on the tv screen. whats happening is that i'm getting a few lines moving up the screen . its not to bad just a bit annoying. the cable i used to go from the multiplexer to the tv was a phono cable with red yellow and white phono ends . i know now i got this wrong so i have decided to change this cable . which would be the right cable to go for rg59 or rg6. the lenth of cable needs to be approxamatly 100 ft . everything else is ok the pitchure is fine on all cameras i have 10 cameras in use i did use rg59 for the cameras . i get the same lines going up and down when viewing 1 or all 10 cameras this is why i think it is the phono cable .

thankyou leonardoh19 so you think the cable i am using is ok. thats a result if it is as it is a awkward job to pull a new cable through as i have it in a pipe trunking just so the weather did not effect it. so what your saying if i understand you correctly all i have to do is take out the earth cable from the plug on the tv side of my set up or how would i set up a groud loop isolater were does this fix to the multiplexer or the tv side sorry for the dumbo questions i'm not a installer just a guy

hi i have decided to go down the ready made cable route. as i dont have crimpers and just me been lazy. so before i start to order the cable will it make any diffrence which cable i use ive seen two types the gold plated and the nickel plated or does it not matter which i use RCA (Phono) To BNC Gender: Male A/V Type: Video Connectors: Gold Plated Cable Screening: Shielded 75Ω Cable Nickel plated connectors Fully screened cable BNC plug to phono plug with 75Ω cable and just one other thing. the cameras i.m getting are super sony had ccd 420 tvl what is the life of these if on 24/7 7 day a week

hi all i have a baxall zmx-ct10 multiplexer . and i want to know which would be the best cameras and cables to use . its only going to be used for nestbox viewing so i cannot have more than 12 leds on the cameras or i get a whiteout. so now i have a choice of either bullet type 12 led cmos or ccd ir cameras. which would be better to use cmos or ccd. and the cable should i use phono cable with a bnc connector on one end and a phono connector on the other end . or should i use a rg 59 or 56 cable and also which would be the best cable for connecting the multiplexer to the tv any tips in setting this up would be welcomed .

thank you for taking the time to reply to me its much appriecated. and i know i wont get colour black-white is all i need to monitor the birds i dont think i will need to go with the ir rings the cameras i am getting should be ok. just one last question with the cable i will need various lenths would it be ok to get a roll of rg cable and use the screw in bnc and phono fittings . or can i buy the cable with the fittings already on i only need the bnc-phono on the cable. the longest run would only be about 10mtrs the shortest about 2mtrs . i'm just trying to keep it all simple . if you can think of anything that might help i'll appriecate it greatly

hi thank you for the quick reply i'm in england. north east. the cameras i was going to use are sony super had cdd 420tvl ol lux on. the nestboxes are 2ft deep and in the inclosed part of my set up so i can use the rg cable. i dont really know what cat5 and baluns are or how to use them i'm trying to keep it all simple. can i still use the ir ring with these cameras
