CCTV monitor help
« on: 08 January 2013, 15:56:00 »

In work( a charity) we have a crappy black and white( OLD ) cctv monitor that basically shows the back entrance and it has gone U/S. We are leaving the site very soon and have been quoted £250 for a replacement.

Question is we have scores of computer monitors lying around but the connections are VGA blue thingies on these but the input to the CCTV monitor is a coax old fashioned telly type.

Does a converter socket exist ??? I can't frigging find one if there is!!

I suspect that your CCTV is a single BNC for composite video. Monitors don't support this in general and adaptors are pricey.

Just get an old TV and use the scart feed (scart has composite as an input plus rgb as an option)

I just stick with what I have and, when I'm ready, buy a bundle.
