Can the vidio part of these cameras be connected to the DVR with coaxil cable with the proper connectors? and if so how far can the coaxil be run?

Yes it can. I have mulitple runs done with RG-59 and RG-6. You will need to get the BNC connectors to make the connections. The biggest issue you will have is getting power to the camera as they currently come with a bnc/12v power cable combo. I have my camera

Not coaxial cable, but VGA cable with BNC connectors. There are several "extension cables" available on Amazon (see VideoSecu 100 Feet Pre-made All-in-One Video Power BNC RCA Cable CCTV DVR System Security Surveillance Camera Extension Cable 1JE for an example), and most include both BNC video and power in one cable set, as you would need both. I'm sure there is some practical limit at which you start to experience signal deterioration, but I think you could go at least 100-150 ft. with no worries by my layman's guess.

Hi Ace! Yes, you certainly can hook this up to an outdoor antenna if it uses a coax-type cable. You just screw it onto the back of the DVR. Or you can find an adapter that converts old-style two-wire TV antenna lines into a coax connector. The DVR comes with audio and video cables that then hook it to your TV. It also comes with a single adapter you can use instead, in case you have an older TV lacking those video and audio input receptors. Everything is color coded. Simple to do either way. You can record any channel you're watching and you can program the DVR to tune to a particular channel at a set time to record a program, movie or event, That's all in the instruction booklet that comes with it or you can find the same information online. Like anything new, it takes a little getting use to, but once you do things right a few times it's so simple. And, unlike most newer DVRs, this one doesn't make you jump through hoops to enter codes that match your TV or TV reception service. It scans all that by itself and enters the information into its own little internal computer all by itself. Depending on your TV brand and age, all of your channels will come in on either channel 3 or on "Video 2". Then you use the DVR remote to switch to the stations it scanned from your antenna. Real simple!

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 can but I won't advice it. You can use conversation cat5 to coax. Honestly I try it and the quality is not all that grate. If you spend little more time and run cables that came with camera system You will see better quality.

That should work fine. Have you considered the higher resolution camera. Just make sure you have a Power Over Ethernet router or use the POE from the DVR. I have three cameras connect through a wireless bridge. That works great.

The camera connects via a standard BNC coax cable to any DVR that supports the NTSC encoding. The DVR should support D1 speeds. This is not an HD camera, so it will not connect to a DVR that is designed for HD-SDI, or HD over BNC. The DVR will have a connection to a local PC type monitor or TV screeen to display the image. Most DVR's today also support Internet connection for remote viewing.

mine is connected to my camera system with the coax siamese cable. any power supply from a security camera would work. you probally could use an old poer suppy from an old router if you have

Yes. The wires run from the camera to their connecting port pin the backside of the dvr. You will also need a vga cable to connect to a monitor which isn't included

If your DVR has BNC style inputs, you should be able to connect it. You don't have to use all the same brand or style.

I'm going to answer no with an explanation: The cables (1 is video signal (male) the other is power (female) are of a pigtail style hanging from the back of the camera to which you connect a similar 60' cable back to the DVR. The only ethernet on the DVR is for LAN or internet access. Whether or not it can be re-configured for balun looks doubtful as the menus don't include that option. If not, you'll still need the included wires to split the junctioned ethernet on the monitor side. I've just been doing a little reading on baluning and most of the concerns are about distance (camera to DVR) advantages gained by the lower cost of ethernet cable over coax weighted against power degradation. If this is just for the house it is really simple to install. I only bought the four cameras. They are arrayed along the front of my house. Drilled four holes (at camera mount), ran four cables to DVR, finally one to the AV input on the flat screen HDTV. Just hit AV and their images show up on screen. I hope this comes close to answering your questions. The only other thing I can think of is that baluning is more a matter of the hardware used for converting not the capture device itself, according to my reading. There are not individual ethernet inputs for the cameras. Also, the power supply for the cameras is another pigtail wall outlet. If I can answer anything else please don't hesitate. Found this link re customer support: http://videocamerarecorderss.blogspot.com/2012/11/buying-night-owl-security-sta-84-night.html. The language on some of the reviews is pretty clunky but is allegedly supported by amazon participants prog. I hope I've helped

t does comes with the RS-485 connection so you need to purchase the Siamese video cable that brings video power and RS-485 wiring so then it can be connected to the DVR RS-485 connector

you need an item like this 2M BNC to RCA Male Coaxial Coax Video Cable M/M for CCTV Camera DVR then you can just plug it into your regular tv. if you get a closed caption monitor, it will have different hookups. I just used that cable to hook it up to a flat screen tv. hope it helps.

No. They come with a "twin" cable which carries signal and power. No Ethernet to cameras. DVR uses Ethernet to connect to LAN.

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.

Sorry, but my facility manager in another country installed my security cameras. Some had long runs outside, but in any case while I was here in the USA he called and said he couldn't get these connectors to work so I ordered twist-on coax connectors for him and he said they worked fine. Sorry if my initial evaluation turned out to be inaccurate!

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.

The back of the DVR has a video output (v-out.) Using the same type of cabling that came with the unit, you can connect to a video input on your TV. You may need some adapters for the plugs, depending on your setup.
