Multiple cameras can be connected to a TV via a Switcher, Quad Processor, Multiplexer or DVR by using a BNC to Scart Convertor.

b. CCTV Monitor

If the monitor is always on it is recomended to use a CCTV Monitor (CRD or LCD), as the screen are designed to last longer with reduced boom out.

• If the DVR has a VGA output, then it can be directly connected to a PC Monitor.
• If no VGA output is available from the DVR then a BNC to VGA Convertor is required. See diagram.

Ask yourself:

1. What size screen do you require?

2. What resolution does the screen need to be?

3. What inputs will be required from the recording device or camera(s)? (ie. BNC, VGA, Scart etc)

4. Will you require any additional devices/connections for viewing your cameras on the monitor?

(ie. BNC to Scart lead etc)
