tommyt 0 Posted August 26, 2006 Hi I currently have a Geovision PC based setup with 6 cameras. What would be the best method of being able to view the cameras on all the TVs around the house (4 of them). My initial idea was to take a video out from the PC and run it on a Video-Over-Power Lines system around the house (over the electric mains). Would this work? The house is cabled with CAT 5e, if this helps in any way. Please help. Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted August 26, 2006 Id scrap that idea ... too many issues can occur .. take a look at an Rf Modualtor ... lets you put them on the TV Channels .. they come in 1-4 channels, you could even have 1 camera on each channel if you wanted .. just run a RG6 Coax from the DVR where the RF mod would be, out to where the cable splits out to the TVs ... much easier ...

Rory Hi Rory, Thanks for the quick reply. The only issue is that the house is currenlty running on a CATV feed - with one Cable line feeding through the house to the various rooms. Will it be okay to modulate the signal onto this? There is no regular aerial wiring. Also I am hoping this will not transmit back down the CATV line to my neighbourhood???

rory 0 Posted August 26, 2006 If you mean Cable TV, yeah thats works. Basically you get a 2 in 1 out splitter (which can be purchased with the Mod), at the end where the Cable goes out to the TV/s .. the Main cable feed goes in one side, the RG6 from the Mod goes in the other side .. then one cable goes out to the TV/s (or to an existing splitter if there is one). Typically I use channels i nthe 70's and get a low pass filter also which blocks out any cable interference .. also with some models you have to skip a channel, so if its a 4 channel mod and it starts at channel 71, then it would be 71, 73, 75 and 77 ... for example .. Take a look at this page for some of the products out there .. channel vision has some good gear, ive used them in the past, there is also channel plus which i heard was also good. You can t ypically buy these from most AV/Security stores. http://www.channelvision.com/index/47 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
