Need help with CCTV and DVR setup?

Post by matthew123 »

Okay, it's a quick question. I am setting up a 4 channel CCTV camera setup in my business. It's a samsung 4 camera kit with the little TV to view them on. It also has web broadcasting. I recently bought a Samsung 4 channel DVR to go with it. I've got a problem though. I must use the inputs from the cameras to go directly to the DVR in order to record 4 channels at full resolution. When i hook up the TV as an output, I lose control of the web broadcasting. I'd like to split the video signal to both the tv and the DVR. The cable is like a phone cable but it has 6 wires. It's in between a phone and cat 5 connector in size. It is also the only wire going to the cameras so it carries power and a signal through these wires. Where can I buy a splitter and two additional wires to go to each unit and what products should i use. I've tried using an 8 pin splitter with two 6 pin wires that it can "fit" into but I lose the signal. My local electronic stores don't have 6pin splitters.
