How can I connect my surveillance camera to my cable which feeds the
televisions in the house? I have tried to connect it into the cable line
using a modulator. This modulator tunes to channels that are not
broadcasting cable channels. But the result is a poor picture unless the
cable TV line is disconnected. It appears that the signal from the cable TV
is still blocking everything else on the line.
Do I need some kind of special splitter, filter, etc.
TIA for any help you can give.

You'll need filter and a splitter. The cable must pass through a filter
that cuts out the frequency of modulated camera signal. Then the two can
be mixed together with a standard 2-way splitter. The filters are
normally either low-pass, which passes everything lower than the
specified cut-off channel, or a notch filter that passes things on both
sides of the notch -- centered around your modulator output frequency.
To see what type of filters are available:
