I am having a difficult time getting the BNC compression connectors to work. I am using Ideal RG59 compression connectors and a Klein Tools compression tool. I have watched several You Tube videos on how to do it and it seems simple. I strip the RG59 cable as instructed ( 1/4" center cable, 1/4" white plastic sheet then pull back the copper braid). Then I push the RG59 cable into connector and put it into the compression tool. When I use the compression tool it seems as if the cable is not going in anymore but is coming out backward because most of the time the copper wiring on the outside is being pushed out of the connector. I have gone through about 20 connectors and have only had success with 4 of them. Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong? I have two camera's working and five more left to install at my house. Thanks in advance

Thanks for all of your help! After reading your posts I realized I was not seating the center copper wire in all of the way. Once I figured out the proper way of insterting it in all of the way it worked fine.

I went to the dyndns.com account and I could not find a free option. The cheapest is $20 per year. I only need it for one DVR. Am I missing it or do they charge now? Thanks.
