www.cctvcamerapros.com for far more data. In this video we will demonstrate how to connect a security camera to a stand alone surveillance DVR using BNC plug and play CCTV cables. The following equipment is employed in this video. A 4 channel MPEG-4 surveillance DVR. A dome security camera. And 100ft BNC plug and play CCTV cables. We have placed all of our equipment on a table here. Step 1 is to connect the plug and play cable to the DVR. The male BNC connector on the cable really easy pushes and twists on to the female BNC input on the back of the DVR. Next, grab the other end of the cable. Attach the BNC connector to the security camera. Again, it basically pushes and twists on. Next attach the power side of the cable to the power input of the camera. This simple pushes on. Next, attach the power supply plug of the security camera to the other finish of the plug and play cable. Final, plug the power supply into a standard power outlet. We hope that this video was helpful for you to understand how simple it is to hook up a security camera to a surveillance dvr utilizing the equipment that CCTV Camera Pros supplies.

Hey I’m kind of a novice here…can I hook a security camera up to ANY dvr?…or does it have to be a “surveillance dvr”?
@shortyjk95 please post the pictures and the questions to our support forum. You can find it easily if you search for “CCTV Camera Pros Support Forum” Thank You.
@cctvcamerapros ok thank you but another question is, i got my cameras from my friend (yes they work) and he also gave me this internet looking motum type thing, its metal has a on one side a composite output/ input, next to that a Y/C input/ output and then on the other side has a LAN and WAN input/ output and i dont know what it is for??? if you want to email me i can send you a picture of it… shortyjk95@yahoo.com
@shortyjk95 Thank you for asking. You can use those same plug and play cables and on the TV end use a BNC to RCA converter, which is a $1.50 part that we also supply, and connect to an RCA video input on your TV. Then, when you want to see your camera, you select that video input on your remote. Let us know if we can help further.
How do u hook it directly to your tv without any of that (so it shows up on the tv but doesn’t have to record???
@narcissusdark you are correct, there are 16 cables run if you want to connect 16 CCTV cameras to a recorder. Another option is to use IP cameras, which allows you to send the video stream over your local network using cat-5 cable.
what if i want to connect 16 cameras together into one dvr, won’t i end up with cables everywhere? and what happens if the cables don’t reach, what if i need cameras all over the office building? im new to this so please help.
They should make DVRs that you can plug both the video and the power jacks into the DVR and have the DVR supply power to all the cameras so you can do away with all those transformers…
Sorry it’s a RCA cable and a bnc cable . Can I join them together ?
@postgems please explain what you mean by DVR mono cable. We are not familiar with this term. You can email us a picture also. info “at” cctvcamerapros “dot” com.
Can I connect bnc cable and a dvr mono cable together ? To exetend my CCTV camera ??
@strausssecurity your welcome. Thank You for watching our video!
Thank you very much for sharing this information with us. Installing security cameras can be quite confusing sometimes but this video has simplified the process to a great extent. CCTVs are a very efficient as far as surveillance is concerned and enables to keep a track of more than one area at a time.

Some beginners require explanation on this. We try to help everyone. You are correct, that is how it works.
Yes, you can.
i have a question…Can i use a BNC to RCA connector at the other end of the coaxial cabe for watch the video on my TV??
please visit our website or give us a call at 888-849-2288.
if your neighbor gives you access to that camera and it has remote viewing capability then yes.
So I would be needing 8 power supplies to power 8 cameras? I was hoping to use a 3rd party beefy power supply to power all the cameras, rather than having to use a bunch of power strps for the wall warts.
Just clearing up in case I was misunderstood, I can be confusing at times
Thanks for uploading this, AND, many more thanks for putting the “script” in the right-hand info panel, I’m in a noisy environment and reading was easier than trying to crank my laptop to hear it…my question is will the plug-in supply handle more than one camera? It looked like the SDVR could take up to 8 cams.
Is there a way to use a regular cable TV DVR for this? My camera (not a dome but a bullet) doesnt have the bnc end. Its a yellow end like the ones that go into the TV.
I thought that this was common sense? Its only 4 connections and they pretty much explaine themselves? Video to dvr and camera, power to, well, to power?!
