u saying that cheap camera do not produce 1 volt peak to peak ? should rephrase I guess Why do u think "cheap" camera can't push video far ? I'm saying they may not handle the extra loading very well. what do u mean by loading?

Hello, ill start by saying im very new to cctv so please bare with me. I installed a CCTV system with 5 cameras. Each Cameras RG6U length is about 800 to 1000 ft. when finished final hook up of the DVR I noticed my pictures arnt very hot at all nothing that was showing up on my little monitor. I read that i may require a amplifier is this true? if so does it go on the camera end or the DVR end? I was thinking about the middle but I rather not have a splice. I would highly appreciate any help at all!! Thank You Very Much.

hey guys thanks for all the help. the camera im using is http://www.smartvisiondirect.com/index.php?ca_id=221&it_id=1150&query=item it seems to being putting out Frequency Horizontal : 15.734KHz / Vertical : 59.94Hz (NTSC) Horizontal : 15.625KHz / Vertical : 50.00Hz (PAL) S/N (Y signal) More than 52 dB (AGC off) Video Output CVBS : 1.0Vp-p / 75ohm do you think an 8 Ch cat 5/e ballu'ns will work it says it rated for 1000ft will the picture come out good? my next step is to buy that ballum and take a box of cat 5 hook both end to the ballun's and see if it works i'd love more insight thought thanks alot guys!!

when i use a monitor at a short distance i get a perfect picture when i attach it to my long run of cable its fuzzes up about 30 to 40%. oh and i took the full sized monitor and hooked it to the camera with a 12 ft rg6 patch cord perfect picture. thanks btw i appreciate any help at all.
