Which cable and which adapters

[smcctv 0]

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

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

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.

Agreed. Using RG59 will probably underwhelm you. 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.

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.
