hgiljr 0 Posted September 15, 2009 Good day everyone... In a couple of weeks I will be installing a borrowed system from work to use temporary over the holidays for decorations. I really want to get the best angle but in several locations of my roof's facia board, will cover the view. I would really like to see the image while I temporary mount the camera before running any cables. I know about devices out there that do the BNC to VGA conversion but they are over $50. If I get a BNC to VGA cable sold at my local computer store, would this work? Again I just want to see an image temporary on a monitor. So the BNC side connects to the camera and the VGA directly to the monitor and of course supply power to the camera. Any info appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoreviewsecurity 0 Posted September 15, 2009 Do you have a TV or monitor that has a video input?? If so, you can run a line from the cam to that TV and see the angle of view. Pre-made cables are very reasonable. A whole bunch less that the converter you mentioned. Again, the cable I would send will only work on a TV or monitor that has a video input ( ususally RCA ).
