Hi if I connect only the video (yellow) from a dvr to the transmitter, will I be able to get video out the reciever to tv 20 feet away?

Yes. The video will transmit with only the video plug connected. The receiver works well well around 40 feet away. I do get some interference if I am standing between the transmitter and receiver.

I can't answer you question because I'm not using it to control anything. I use it to connect a set of speakers to the receiver so my husband can hear the audio better than what comes off just the TV. I connected the transmitter to the audio out and the receiver to the set of speakers. Both devices are in the same room pointed at each other. Not what you want to do. I think your DVR would have to be UHF and not infrared for that to work.

I agree with Mr. Holley's and Ms. Hines' answers. I ran my wires about 200' to two cameras - both connected (with two others) to the same DVR.

It should be line-of-sight. You could try to send the signal thru a wall, but I cannot speak to the quality or strength you'll get. I even had to buy a USB extension cord for the transmitter and it's even in the same room!

it is not a bad unit, it just your tv resolution is not match to the dvr's display resolution. you need to connect the dvr to a VGA monitor then change the display resolution of the dvr that is match to your tv.

The cable only transmits the signal. If you have video but aren't recording it almost has to be a setting in your DVR, not the cable.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to. I'd just put a coax splitter off my antenna feed and run it to both units. If that weakened the signal too much, you could simply get a separate antenna for the 2nd DVR.

Not sure Thomas, I returned the system due to some issues with exporting footage of the DVR. However, when I was testing this system, it did seem like as long as you had a long enough cable, the system captures (but not exports) fine.

You must look at the pin configuration on the video transmitter that you're using. Once you know that, just make sure to have the wires in the proper order on the connector. This is very important because the wrong order could result in frying something.

We just tested ours last night for you, the camera inside the house and myself with the monitor outside. I reached about 200' before I ran out of signal. At the 180' area it would work intermittently.

Yes; this item uses the RCA style jacks: Yellow = video, Red & White = Audio. You can connect the transmitter to Uverse output jacks or the TV if it has output jacks. The recieving TV must have these RCA type input jacks. Some newer model TV's may only have 5 jack component input. If that is the case, connect the Yellow (video) to Green on the TV; then Red to Red & White to White (Left & right audio); do not use the Blue & Red video inputs. Use the original TV remote to select the input where you connected the device: example: AV1, AV2, or component, etc...

I plugged this into a BNC video output on an older DVR and then into a VGA input on an LCD video monitor. The unit successfully converted the signal so I could display video being recorded by all cameras connected to the DVR. I had 12 cameras connected to the DVR and it worked fine. I think only limitation would be with the DVR.

Deta, I'll need more info about what you've done so far. I have to assume that you've followed the instructions that came with the RF Link - if you've wired up the transmitter at your cable box and the receiver to your extra T,V, making sure that you've got the red, white, and yellow cables going to the same colored connectors on the box and TV and the RF Link isn't defective, then you may have too much distance between the cable box and the extra TV. 50-75ft is a good distance. You also want to make sure that there is no large metal object (refrigerator, metal cabinet) in the DIRECT path between the 2 link boxes. Next the 4 buttons on each link box - I set the link transmitter arbitrarily on #1, then at the tv link, push the button to scroll thru 1,2,3,4. Some transmitters also have a small 4 position slide switch on the rear. Do the same scroll excercize. Most problems are either crossing wires (red to white, yellow to red etc) or too much distance between between the links. Hooking up the links is no different than hooking up a VCR or DVD player - just think of the link transmitter to be the TV to the cable box, and the link receiver as a VCR hooked up to the remote TV. Good Luck Den M.

Probably will work. That was my intention as well. As long as it is only one transmitter... Two or more receivers should be fine. I returned mine because it wouldn't work if the receiver was more than 20 feet from the transmitter with very very drywall layers (2 walls) of separation.... Nothing complicated.... Bummer!!!!

Hi Mark, I have tried to connect the transmitter to the audio output from my flatscreen and sending the Sound to wireless speakers. The setup was easy, but i felt the audio was slightly out of sync with the movements on the screen. I dont know quite what to say. It was not convincing!

Please let me know what connections did you use to get this improvement? I am experiencing the same problem. Did you use component out from DirectTV HD DVR and/or SD DVD player to the receiver? Did you use a separate digital out to the receiver for the sound?

According to the manual specifications it could reach up to 40 feet from the DVR monitor. But the footage could reach up to 400 Square feet. I hope this could help you... Wilson.
