Hello, I been doing some research about the HDMI extenders since I want to install a monitor away from the DVR. I was wondering if the HDMI+IR extender are the right option to extend a HDMI signal but also the Remote Control access since I want to manipulate the DVR with the remote control where I have my monitor. Also I´m looking for additional information on how the IR extenders work since I have no idea if they would be compatible with my Q-see QT4532 DVR. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I´m planning to install a CCTV system in my house to protect the house itself and the garden. At this moment our diagrams aims to the use of 28 cameras to protect the whole residence. When it comes to install that amount of cameras, several questions comes in mind, that I hope, some of you would help me to solve them. 1. What would be the best recommendation when choosing a place to install the DVR?, at the beginning I was planning to install the DVR inside a closet in the second floor of the house. The TV Monitor is required to be in first floor in the kitchen. 2. This questions is very close to the # 1 question. What would be the best option to monitor the DVR?, I was reading about the TV Modulators, but I don´t have any idea if these products are suitable for our needs. We have roadrunner Cable in all the TV´s around the house. Also a TV could be installed in the kitchen (as pointed in question # 3 ) but there wouldn´t be any control over the DVR, just monitoring. 3. What is the largest length that can be between DVR and Cameras using those cables with built-in video/power signal?, or you would recommend using RG6/power cables? is there any difference between the signal quality? 4. What do you think about using IP technology instead of Wired CCTV?, is there any other CONS other than having to install the power-source of each camera in separate places? Thanks for the help and suggestions.

28 cameras with your budget cant be done. how big is your house ..... do you need 28 cameras ??? can you post a layout to be covered Ok, I just attached the diagram in JPEG format. There will be 14 cameras outside and 13 cameras inside the house, that´s a total of 27. Since the project is personal, the budget could be raise. Reading in the forums I figured out that most of my questions can be solved with baluns, even the control remote access can be solved with a balun. Let me know what you think about the diagram.

BTW, I just figured out this converters are called "Video Baluns".

I´m not very familiar with Cat5 over CCTV but I just did some research and I see that they sell passive converters from Ethernet to BNC so I could wire the cameras with Cat5 instead of RG6. And about the technologies, I was wondering if IP could work better than CCTV, not mixing technologies, but to choose one of them. The budget is $4,500.00.
