does anyone know of a web site that show you how to set up a CCTV network of cameras, how to strip the rg59 cable and crimp it, how to set up PTZ cameras, and how to intergrate then into a DVR. i know its going to be different for each dvr, but any help would be nice.
And you haven't learned how to strip RG59 yet? Don't put the cart before the horse. There is alot to learn just with installing the cable, power and telemetry wiring ie: installation codes, proper wire and size for the application, conduit fill specs., installation methods etc. Then you will get into the cameras, lenses, PTZ's, domes, housings, mounts, power supplies, UPS's, routers, and DVR's. You probably will have a hard time finding a website that will teach you what you need to know. It takes hands on training to learn alot of what is necessary. DIYers struggle through their own home installations and is usually more of a hobby. The equipment you are outlining sounds more of a commercial type application and probably should be looked at by someone already versed in CCTV applications. Don't be misled because you can find this equipment on the internet and think it is no big shake because you have hooked up a VCR before.(no flame intended) To have a system installed and set up properly does take some experience.
Only diff with RG6 is you can run it longer, but it has to be copper center and copper braided, otherwise simple cable TV RG6 which generally has aluminum braid, will be a much worse picture and not go any distance at all.
