Camera/cable tv modulation question

[swade 0]

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have 8 cameras to a standalone dvr, looped out to two 4 channel modulators. The cameras are modulated to channels 100, 102, 104 etc.... I need to combine these channels with eight cable tv lines. Can I use standard cable splitters to first combine the outputs of the modulators, then combine with cable tv, then split eight ways???

I appreciate any help!

That should work, but your signal loss may be unacceptable. I would suggest something tailor made for the job like this:

You might be able to find similar equipment less money, but I have had good results with this unit.

I'm glad you brought that up. I tried a DA550BID but the camera channels are

extremely fuzzy and we lost most of the high def channels on the cable. I was told if I put a DC blocker on the cable outputs of the amp that would solve the problem with the cameras but I still have the issue with the HD. Have you used the BDA8200HHR with HD cable and the DC blocker?

No cable box. Just a couple of standard TiVo's. There was a recent thread were we were wondering about DTV, HDTV through these amps. I don't think anyone had an answer But they say DTV right on the face... Did you call tech support about HDTV?

 

Are you going to try the splitters?

I'm gonna try the splitters because I need a quick fix. Cable signal is high,about 5 feet from a cable amp so I'm not to concerned about signal loss but it sure would look better going through the dist. amp. I''l post after I try the splitters. Thanks for your help.

Here is another way of getting a signal on to a wire without worrying about crashing the digital signal.
