I have been lurking for some time and picked up a couple of items in hopes of making our home a little safer. We are not wealthy so I started by just picking up a DVR and a dome camera to put out at our gate. The 2 items I selected are a Dahua DH-DVR0804LE-AS DVR and a CNB LDM-20S camera. When I installed my pillars for my gates some time back I also ran some RG6 quad with hopes of doing something with it in the future. This is a 400 foot run. I decided to try and use this for the security camera and installed BNC connectors on the cable. The camera is 12vDC and I have a couple of 12vDC outputs on my automatic garage door opener to use for powering the camera. I checked them and have 12.05 volts. I think you know where this is heading. I can't get it to work. The DVR seems to be doing just fine. I installed a 1TB WD Caviar hard drive and everything seems to work fine on my screen. Just no video. I tried running just a one foot coax here in the living room and still no video. I tried hooking into the coax input of my TV and still no luck. I noticed the camera came with an RCA video jack on a pigtail that could be plugged into the board of the camera so I tried it into one of the video inputs on my TV and still no video. The small setup guide that came with the camera states that the camera has a UTP transmitter already installed and it shows UTP connections for installation. Is this where I am going wrong? There is no power LED or anything for me to know it is powering up. Should I be able to read a voltage from the video output? Is there any way to know that this camera works? Thanks for any help you can provide
