Connect a cam to DVR card and analog monitor.

Hi

Is it OK to split video signal using BNC T-connector ?

The distance from camera to analog monitor is about 20'-30' and to DVR station more than 100'

Personally i wouldnt, we've tried that before and sometimes it works with short distances but we end up getting video loss signals on random occasions. Doesn't your monitor have a video out? Or doesnt your DVR have a loop? We've only used the T connectors if we're using Geo systems (PC Based) because you dont get vid out for each camera

I recently uses a T-connector on the monitor out of a stand alone DVR as it had no second monitor (everfocus), and ran RG6 850'+, it worked fine on a CCTV Monitor & a TV.

T pieces should not be used on PC equipment, when long runs are used, the difference is that a pc requirs 1.1 v pk to pk, where a standalone only requires 1v pk to pk, most stand alones have amplification, that is why you have never had to worry rory, but you should always use a Distribution amp when using pc based equip for longer runs

yep, here we have 2 types of people, dead cheap or dead rich! So im going dead cheap and dead expensive on the DVRs ... cant afford to carry it all .. ive tried the dead cheap cameras and no extra work so im back to mid range and high end on them ..
