gatwickajmes 0 Posted April 24, 2018 SO i set up a new CCTV system in my local pizza shop this weekend. a hikvison 16 channel system Before he had a 8 camera old swan install that was super video to a dvd/vhs combo for recording ( yes that old ) that also was split to a small tv near the tills showing the till camera to show customers on CCTV. So i have the unit HDMI to a 32inch Sony TV in the office. It is on the 1-7 set up as 3 of the cameras he doesn't need to see all the time. He asked is there a way to show just one camera again on the other TV near the tills. I see if i connect a VGA to other one, it shows whats on the Sony. This of course was something i guess as just sending the same feed to both screens. any way to split what can be seen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheF 0 Posted April 26, 2018 Some DVRs have spot monitor out, which you can set up to a different view than the main monitor. Other DVRs can only show a duplicate of the main monitor. And other DVRs only have the one monitor output. This new Hikvision system, is it analog/TVI/AHD or IP? I have seen AHD to HDMI converters with loopthrough (same AHD signal output), so you could hook monitor #2 to a camera signal before it enters the DVR. Bet those exist for TVI as well. If the Hikvision system is IP, just set up a micro PC on that other monitor, streaming with your internet browser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted April 26, 2018 Hi. This is only for a public view . Just go for the cheap option .... you have a camera already viewing the area .... so just get a turret 960h camera and go direct to the monitor ... no need to record it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
