smcctv 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Hi, I have installed 4 cameras using a 4 channel DVR. I was going to use a RG59 cable to transfer the video from dvr to a 32inch TV. Is this cable the best? Now that all the BNC's are being used at back of DVR. Which other connectors are best without loosing video picture quality? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jxk716 0 Posted April 5, 2012 The RG59 will work from DVR to TV and you will need a twist on or compression RCA connector at the TV end (as long as the DVR has a video Output). Make sure you get connectors for RG 59 OR Compression with the use of a compression Tool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted April 5, 2012 It's hard to say for sure without knowing exactly what DVR you have (come on people, MORE INFORMATION is always a good thing!), but if all your BNCs are used up, that probably means the DVR doesn't have a composite video output, so you won't be able to use BNCs or RCAs, or coax cable at all. Which probably leaves you with VGA and/or HDMI output. Use whichever both DVR and TV support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your DVR is close enough to the TV you will be using, try connecting with VGA or better yet, HDMI if your DVR supports it. That's the best possible video output that you will get.

smcctv 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Apologies for the lack of Information when originally created post. I have seen the DVR and even though it is a budget one, it has Video out... so will use RG59 from back of DVR and will use RCA Connector to connect to TV. Many thanks for your help dudes.
