How does it work?
What goes with what?
What is needed?

Each standard wired type security camera require video and power connection. Usually video connection for CCTV cameras uses BNC connection. But you can also use the BNC/RCA connector to turn the BNC connection to RCA connection and use RCA cables instead. Plug video cable from camera to controllers (switcher, quad, or multiplexer). Plug power adapter from camera to wall outlet. Power usually use 12v DC source.

Setup A. gives you a basic understanding how surveillance camera setup works. For those that uses just one security camera type, a controller won't be necessary, you can straight plug to vcr or monitor. The controller can plug up to 1-8 camera on a quad and switcher, and 1-16 cam on a multiplexer.

Diagram B. gives you more detail on how an actual setup will be like. Sample of 4 security camera connection is use. Of course depends on video equipment, some design differently, but basically the same concept. This diagram shows four camera setup to a quad(controller) and quad to cctv monitor and cctv monitor to security vcr.

Using a surveillance equipment such as a quad or multiplexer help gives you the technology to switch channels or view all at once. Our quad or multiplexer are highly recommended. High quality giving you real time display and with digital zoom.

Is it necessary to purchase a security VCR or Monitor? Well depends. For those that only record once in a full moon, no it wont be neccessary to purchase a VCR or Monitor. For those that record consistently and use surveillance daily, then yes you will need a security type vcr and a security monitor. Regular VCR and Monitor are not built for surveillance watch, so don't ruin them by using them to do your surveillance. The security vcr and monitor have built in technology that will do the job for you.
