Installing CCTV

Aug 26, 2006 7 Replies

Hi folks, I have an aerial in the loft which feeds three rooms via an un-powered connection/splitter near the aerial. I currently use a booster for each room fitted near the TV. Can I fit some sort of junction box - possibly powered - in place of this splitter to feed the signal from 2 or 3 CCTV cam's (in addition to the digital TV signal)to the three rooms. The reason is it will save a lot of work/mess running the cable(s) through the house.

It can be done, but might be a bit pricey.

Any Way

Than you for the replies. I envisaged a junction box with a feed in of the aerial and say 3 cams. With out lets for the existing three TV cables feeding a room each. As you know a join in this main cable invariably causes a reduction of signal. I was hoping there was such a box available for under £150 - if not - all things considered I will lay new feeds.

Please do not go to any trouble as if it is a big job (see above) i will ignore the existing cables.

No Trouble man, its a pleasure. Work now cancelled due to thunder storm. Get some paperwork done, feed my ferretts and then I will sort it.

I love my job. I know ( sad ) so it is not a problem.

Hi, You will need a digital modulator. I have made this short, The camera plugs in to the mod, You then come out of the rear of the mod to your T.V cable, " T" of this to your sat or v.c.r then to your telly. Find a spare channel on your v.c.r and tune in to it through the mod. I have installed these quite easy , and to be safe you will also need a combiner. If you have more than one camera in mind a control unit for 4 cameras is available.

I hope this makes sense.

If not I cam fax you all the details from my trade catalogue. Not mine the Company I use.

Hope this helps , good luck.

Kind Regards.

Hi

You can get a 4 camera control box to go in the attic & modulate the cameras on to a channel for the TVs. This box will also supply the cameras with 12 volts power & switching can be controlled by various methods including PIR detectors, keyfobs etc. Good, reliable units that we have been installing for 10 years.
