splitting spot output

Recommended Posts

I have a apollo 16 channel dvr for my analog cameras. I am currently splitting the video to 2 different tv' via the spot output.

 

The runs are about 100 feet.

 

IF I try to split the video into 4 or more, which is what I want the signal becomes very degraded.

 

I believe I need a distribution amplifier, so I bought one, and now I have no video out at all if this thing is wired inline.

it is this. channel master 3414 http://www.amazon.com/Channel-Master-Outputs-Distribution-Amplifier/dp/B001PI09SE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379789489&sr=8-1&keywords=distribution+amplifier+4+port

 

any ideas of what I could purchase to split the spot output..

 

this is a great dvr, d1 on all 16 channels at 7fps, but it works very well, cost me about 700 back in the day(ie about 18 months ago), but I can't seem to split the video. I was thinking about trying to add a rtsp viewer into xbmc which is on a few of my tvs, or somehow get boxee box to view the cameras, but I already have the wires I think a splitter would be easiest.

 

currently it's outputting with a bnc connector, but I can change to an f connector easily enough, actually it's a f connector now that I put the new distribution amp on today.

 

I will be sending this one back to amazon, but I don't like shipping things back if I don't have to.

thank you. Would also the Shinybow SB3702-BNC work if I wanted to split it 8 times? or Should I not expect to be able to split the signal that much.
