I have one SSC 473 and I plan to add more maybe up to 4. I wanted to be able to watch all 4 cameras off one tv through an RCA. I think I need what is called a "quad" not quite sure. What is a good brand that wont degrade picture quality? I would also like to be able to output from the "quad" to my computer onto the internet. I would also like to be able to turn my computer into a DVR with motion detection. 1. Where can I find a good quad? 2. How can I record from quad to computer? 3. How can I stream from computer to internet? Thanks

That is how I first had it: "First camera, camera connected to coax with BNC. Other end, BNC to RCA converter, then RCA-split. The split is a female with two male on short cables" Now I have the camera (BNC connection) direct to BNC to RCA converter. I am not using any Coaxial cable.

Thanks for the feedback. I only cut the ends of the power cable not the BNC. The coil was wrapped circular same way that you buy it. I have tried it with just the splitter and direct to one tv only: The results for me seem to be the same... I guess I thought the picture would be of SD TV quialty if not better. The colors seem to be off a little. Howerver the quailty is alot better then what I started with.

I am a newbie on this stuff, so I am trying what yall say and trying different things. Is there any problem with converting a BNC to RCA and running it direct to a TV? will there be single loss? If it is direct to one tv no splitting do I need any thing else besides the adapter?

Well I have tried a few things including buying Distribution amp from radio shack. The thing that helped the most was bypassing the 100' combined power and video cable. I still have the power running through the cable just not the video. I basically took off 95 feet of cable. The distribution amp helped as well but not nearly as much. Now I need to figure out the best settings for this camera????? Still trying to decided if a 50 dollar distributor amp is worth it.

This setup is for a baby monitor. Living room then baby room then master. Maybe 15-20 feet. The only reason I bought the 100 foot if for later use we are going to move soon. So I could bypass it with a 5 foot RCA then "Y Split" into the 30' RCAs that go to each room.

OK, soon as radio shack is open I will go pick one up. I wonder if walmart has one. Does it matter to much what kind i get? Thanks again for all the help.

Do you think a distributor amp will make that big of a difference? If I switched the 100 foot cable for a 10 foot cable with separate power would that help? thanks

Swann 100ft/30m BNC to BNC Cable with DC Power Cable : SW271-S30 I bought it at frys for $30 bucks. I cut the ends off the power cable so i could hook it up to this camera and the power supply.

Thanks for the response. Now that there is natural light coming into the room the colors look a lot better then last night. I have a fujinon auto iris lens. You said, "you can not split composite video" I have the RCA "Y" adapter. Do you think that is my problem? What is the best way to hook the camera up to two TVs? Does the 100 foot combined cable cause any noticeable loss? Thanks

I wonder if there is any way to spread out the beam on the 140 led one....Since that is the one I bought 1 week ago before reading this forum. It has not arrived yet so still waiting. It looks similar to the British one just with out some kind of diffuser... Im sure it is not the same quality but I wonder if there is something I could put over it to diffuse the light... By the way to any of those lights have sensors to turn them on and off?

Also do I need to adjust V phase and Level? I am going to go try and find out what those do...

Color is poor. A lot of noise (in a well lit room) for what i thought was an ok camera. I have a Sony SSCE473 The camera is being powered by a class 2 transformer : MGT2420 I think part of the problem might be that I am running the video and power through a 100' combined cable. Then I have it split into 2 RCAs running one to each TV. 130 feet to travel is that too much? Any advice that isnt too expensive would be great. Thanks in advance.
