need some help.My CCTV monitor ( about 8 years old ) has given goood service but will not display on these newer generation camaras. think it's the ols analogue/digital problem. When looking round on the net, I'm confused. What do I look for,.... IP, 1080, TVI, CVI, CHD?
 
What’s the output on the DVR? I’m using an old tv with HDMI from dvr to telly for my cctv

Disclaimer: I’m no expert, and I’m probably wearing out the screen prematurely
 
sorry. should have said, the monitor is a hand held test monitor, so i can be at the camera and see the pic. while adjusting. this type of thing.:

what I tend to do with the IP cameras is connect them to the DVR.
then most dvr's have software to allow viewing remotely using ipad or similar over wifi.
its a cheep alternative using equipment you may already have.
p.s. I carry a wifi access point with me so I can have my own wifi connection without having to interfere with the companys own system.

way out of my budget at £400. that's 4 weeks pension beer money.

I comes with free delivery and a complimentary jar of sweets!!!
 
And that's why i'm no expert.
I took monitor to mean the screen... like a computer monitor.
Its something i'll have to think about buying if i'm expanding into the cctv side of things.

I should have known tel wouldn't be asking something so simple
 
these modern cameras won't work with my DVR. it just displays no signal.
 
I've been using this one for about a year now. It's a great piece of kit and allows you to test all (current) camera types. It also has a few added features such as a network cable tester plus the screen size is decent so it can double up as a monitor if you need to do a DVR set up without the actual need for a fixed monitor. There are a few cheaper ones available that look exactly the same but they only tend to do just IP and CVBS.
