Hi, I need some help as I cant understand what I need to complete the system. There is a camera up outsite my house which was there before I moved in, I now want to get it working. whoever lived here before me obviously just cut the cables and took the equipment. what I have at the minute is a camera on the wall, the cable comes out into an external box. inside the box the video has been spliced onto what looks like a coax cable. the power part of the cable has a converter on it that goes to 2 cables (red and black) these along with the coax go inside the property but has no ends on the cables. my question is where do I go from here. what ends do I need to put on them. obviously I need to put power through the red/black that's fine. but what about the video cable. can I just put a connection on it to plug it into a tv? sorry but I don't know much about cctv. thanks! Richard.

sorry unfortunately not, its now dark so you wouldn't see anything if I took some now. there isn't much to look at. just 2 black cables, one containing the 2 power wires and one that is just a single copper core. the camera is a dome camera, wall mounted and obviously night vision judging from the IR leds it contains.
