Yes for IP cameras: 1. Feature rich 2. Single cable for data and power 3. Better video quality However, IP cameras are somewhat expensive (the good ones) and this can be prohibitive for me, as I need to put a few of them around the perimeter of my house. Nevertheless this is what I’m eventually going to get! Will I be able to convert easily 4-6 signals into one mixed signal (for simultaneous observation of all zones) and send it over existing RG-59 to all TV points using RF modulator? I'm concerned about Digital TV setup box, which has to get free to air standard definition TV signal over the same cable. Will that RF modulator affect the quality of this signal after mixing up with IP camera signal? Can I in real-time receive IP data from cameras, process it in PC and loop back combined one back to RG-59 or modulator? It has to be real-time. The Bosch cameras have dual signal output. I can certainly run all analog signal down to hub and then.....? What device can combine all signals and create a single one with 4-6 images appearing together on TVs? Thanks to all for your contribution to my DIY project!!!

The Bosch IP cameras are appealing! I thought that I can install IP cameras, combine all IP data from 4-6 cams on a PC and send nicely mixed signal on all TV video inputs around a house where all images from cameras appear on the same monitor. Could be a cumbersome task. Instead, I will get a few cams with Ether (PoE) and BNC options. Thanks to all

Hi Is it possible to multiplex 4-6 IP camera signals and convert them in PC for real-time retransmission (analog) back to coax? What I want to acheive is 1. Record MPEG signals from IP cameras on PC's harddrive. 2. Transmit the combined video back to TV monitors via common coax. Are there any solutions for this config? thanks
