How can I split a signal from a camera?

[Dave M 0]

I need to split the signal from four different cameras. They are from an out of the box system by Lorex #L20WD800. The system came with a monitor that will show all cameras on screen at once. What I need to do is split the signal from each of these four cameras. One end going to the monitor that came with the sysyem, and the other to go to a Lcd TV. There are four seperate lcd tv's, one camers feeding each. The wire on the camers ia a 6 pin din connector. Is there anyway of splittilng this signal, and then converting it over to a rca type connector to go into the lcd tv? The cameras have sound also if that makes a difference, but the sound only has to go to the original monitor not the lcd tv.

There's a couple things we have that we sell linked above. They work well and that's the powered one, if you search "splitter" on our site you can see the other two we have.

 

If you need those just give us a call at the office and tell them you seen them on the website, they'll give you a discount!

 

Thanks,

I called and they said they don't have 6 pin din splitters. I guess this signal can't be split????

Of course it CAN be split... just a question of whether you'll be able to find a ready-made solution, or need to put something together yourself... or take something apart yourself! You might need to source the necessary DIN connectors and wire up your own splitter, or worst case, you can snip the wires, determine which pair are the video signal, splice a "tap" into that, and reconnect the others to get the power and audio through.

I just found out the answer. The back of the monitor that came with the system has four 6 pin inputs. It also has 8 bnc inputs. The four 6 pin inputs, 1 thru 4, coinside with bnc inputs 1 thru 4. You either use the 6 pin or the bcn. Inputs 5 thru 8 are bnc only. When you use the 6 pin inputs the bnc input right below acts as a loop if no signal is going in thru the bnc. So what I am going to do is use the 6 pin feed from the camera, hook a bnc cable right below and loop the signal out to the second monitor. I tried everything out and it worked great.
