I am putting one camera outside and hardwiring it to a tv in my house. The camera has coax and so does my cable going to that tv now. How do I add another video feed? Just use a splitter having the cable & camera video going in and one coming out to my tv? Will this work the best? Thanks very much. bobo
Basic Security Camera Hookup Question...

I just noticed the tv I am hooking up the camera to has a coax input that is not being used. Can I just use that and not worry about splitting?
That won't work. The camera is baseband and the TV input is broadband. You can plug the camera into the TV's video input (where you'd plug in your camcorder) or use a modulator to put it on an unused channel.
That would be the better choice IF it's the baseband input and not going to a tuner. Is there a yellow RCA jack on the TV? THAT's where you want to plug it in.
What do I need to buy to convert the coax to video inputs?
