Is this possible? (Security camera setup related)

Hello,

I'm planning on installing a few security cameras around my house. I have the cameras I want selected, the DVR, cabling, baluns, etc.

I have run into a small dilema though. I want to broadcast the video output from the DVR to all TV's in the house on a channel of my choosing. I don't even know if this is possible so I'm wondering if this is even possible and if so what I need to look into to accomplish this?

The video outputs that come with the DVR are: 1 x BNC, 1 x VGA, 1 x SPOT

Thanks!
Matt

You could modulate the channel through the connections if the DVR will let you otherwise I would imagin you will just have to get some sort of splitting device.

Hey Sava,

THanks for the reply! What would I need in order to modulate the channel? If I know what hardware I need to do this I can do all the research ... I just have no idea where to even start.

Thanks
Matt

Some sort of splitter box I would imagin would do the trick.... perhaps asking this question on a audio/video site?

Do you have a cable box on every set? If not, you could probably use something like this if you just need to modulate 1 channel.
