Sorry! Finders, Keepers!

Hi Everyone In CCTV Land. If Only These Kind Of Forums Were Around When I Was a Teen! I Just Bought a 4 Cam System. I Installed All Of It Including Running Underground Conduit. Hiding Cables, and Making Use Of Short Runs To Componets. Sealing All Opened Cavities In Regaurds To Cable Runs. I Have Perfect Coverage, and Reception. The Problem I Have Is With The 12" B/W Monitor. When Turned On I Have Serious Hardcore Interference On My Home TV (Not HDTV), but Not On My Home PC Monitor. What I Know: The 12" CCTV Monitor Is Transmitting Not Receiving Interference. (EMI) When The Power Button Is Turned On. It Is Not a Ground Loop Problem.I Plugged The Monitor Into Any, and All Different Receptacles On Different Circuits. No Change. What I Did: Used The Same Receptacle My TV Uses, and With a 100 Ft Extension Cord, With The 12" Monitor Walked Away From The Area. As I Walked Further Away The Interference Dissipated. 75 Feet Out, There Was No Interference At All. My Question: I Have Heard That Building An Enclosure Insulated With Tin Foil Will Fix This Problem. Is This True? If So How Thick Of Tin Foil Am I Looking At. If Not What Should I Be Looking For To Fix This Issue? Any Good Links Would Be Great For Me To Learn More About This. I'm Never Afraid To Learn Somthing I Know Nothing About. ~Wake~ It Is a Brand New 12" B/W Monitor Standard CRT, Not Flatscreen 100-230VAC, 50/60HZ, 30W, 1000 Line Res.

Again, Thank You For The Information. Got The X10 Filter. The Filter Did Filter Out About Half Of The Problem. With The X10 Filter, and a Cardboard Box Wrapped In Tin Foil All The Interference Is Gone. ~Wake~

Wow!! Those Were Nice Articles. I Definitely Learned Something Here. The Kicker Is That I Knew The Logic Of The Split, but It Took Me To Read The Tech Notes To Get a Better Understanding Of It. I Really Appreciate That Scorpion. I Have Put In a Order For The X10 Pro Filter. Hopefully In a Few Weeks I'll Get It, and I Will Post The Effectiveness. Thanks! Again ~Wake~
