madmandare 0 Posted September 7, 2018 Hi, I have a 1080p Hikvisioon DVR, with two video ports, one HDMI and one VGA. I want to connect this DVR to two monitors. One int he same room via a short cable and one in a different room via a long 15m cable. However, the 1080p feed won't work using the 15m VGA cable connected to the 2nd monitor. But the 1st monitor connected via a short HDMI cable is working fine. I have been told this is because the GUI of the DVR is not powerful enough to support 1080p over a 15m cable, but is fine for shorter cables. Should i try swapping and buying a 15m HDMI and a short 2m VGA and see if this works? Or will i just have the same issue? If i lower the output resolution of the DVR to 1020x1200, it works fine for both monitors. But this partly defies the point of having 8 x 1080p cameras!! Are there any other solutions such as signal boosters etc? I have found things like this online, that use RJ45 cables to transport VGA signal over large distances: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/60m-VGA-to-RJ45-Signal-Extender-Over-Ethernet-Cable-Transmitter-and-Receiver-UK/311670171984?epid=20011370431&hash=item4890fd6950:g:2BwAAOSwsCFZptDd Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
