the toss 0 Posted July 29, 2012 v- and video - are usually both "earths". One is your voltage earth & the other is your video signal earth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hennity 0 Posted July 29, 2012 v- and video - are usually both "earths". One is your voltage earth & the other is your video signal earth from how i understand this it means the v+ and v- from the power connector to pins 1 and 2 and the video+ (pin 3) and video-(pin 4) connected to the bnc ? do i need to unite the earths ? i am using this in a cctv dvr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vector18 1 Posted July 29, 2012 Most of the new ones are just 2 wires from the door box to the base unit and than the base gets plugged into an outlet. Do you have the make and model? It should have come with a schematic for wiring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should have come with a schematic for wiring? it was from a system taken out before demolition of a building by a friend who knows i use cctv and have a pcb camera but its not the same.it just came with diagram of the 4 pin and what the assigned pin are 1 v+, 2v-, 3vid+, 4vid-. on my other pcb camera i just plug it in with 3 pin connectr and then to cctv lead.with 4 pins im not sure just dont want damage it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
