The SYS-CV7 security camera to TV for live view kit includes everything you need to connect a camera to a TV for real-time live video display without a DVR. This system includes one of our best selling
2mp / 1080p bullet CCTV cameras (model HD-Q7), one
BNC to HDMI video converter box, one 100 foot pre-made Siamese security camera cable, and one 5 foot HDMI cable. You also get the power supplies for the camera and converter box.
Customers supply their own HDMI TV. Any high def TV with an HDMI video input and that supports 1080p@60hz resolution will work (almost all modern HDMI TVs do). This is the perfect plug and play system for customers that want to connect a single camera to their TV for a live view.
The
HD-Q7 security camera that is included is IP67 weatherproof so that you can install it indoors or outdoors, even in harsh weather environments. This camera is designed to operate well in all weather conditions, including rain and snow. It also works great indoors at home, business, and government locations.
How-to Connect Camera to TV for Live View
Watch this video to learn how-to use this kit to connect the camera to a TV without a DVR. You can also refer to the below installation diagram and instructions.
How-to Connect Camera to TV without a DVR
Here is how-to connect the camera to a TV for live view without using a DVR.
- The coax portion of the pre-made Siamese camera cable (blue line above) connects the BNC video output of the camera to the BNC video input of the BNC to HDMI converter.
- The power cable built into the Siamese cable (red line from the camera) is connected to the power adapter that is included with the camera and plugs into a standard wall power outlet near your TV.
- The HDMI converter also includes a power supply that will connect to the power outlet near your TV.
- The HDMI cable that is included with the system connects the HDMI output of the converter with the HDMI video input of your TV monitor.
That is all! Plug and play easy setup with no manual configuration. Everything is just detected and the live view of your camera just works.
How-to Connect System with Optional DVR Recording
The above diagram shows the SYS-CV7 system installation with the BNC loop output connected to a DVR for video surveillance recording. The setup is the same as using the kit without a DVR, except BNC jumper cable connected to video loop output of the HDVC-3-T to one of the BNC video inputs on a
Viewtron security DVR. Important Note: Using the loop output and DVR is optional. An example of how this is typically used can be seen below in a retail spot monitor installation.
Live Security Video Monitor at Retail Store Entrance
Here is an example of a live TV system display used at a retail store. This type of installation is very typically used by retail store chains. It creates a theft deterrence and helps customers feel safe knowing that the store uses security cameras. This live view monitor is placed at the entrance and the loop output of the HDMI converter sends a second video signal to the back of the door where the security DVR is located and records all of the video surveillance footage.
How-to Connect Camera to Multiple TVs without a DVR
You can also use the BNC loop output of the HDCV-3-T to connect one security camera to multiple TV monitors. This is how it works. Use one of these
RG59 jumper cables to connect the BNC video loop output of the first BNC to HDMI converter to the BNC video input of a second HDMI converter. You can connect the BNC loop output of the second converter to a third if you like. You can daisy-chain as many BNC video converters as you need so that you can display a single security camera live on multiple TV monitors at the same time.

The
VT-J301 security camera junction box is the optional installation mount for this camera. There is a bottom and side cable inlet and the cable leads from your camera can neatly be concealed inside this weatherproof enclosure. When the bottom inlet is used, the inlet plug can be moved to the size inlet. This junction box can be used for ceiling or wall mount installations. Watch this video to learn why Mike recommends using the junction box for outdoor camera installations.
Watch this video to see how easy installation is with the camera's tri-axis ball and socket joint style mount. Simply loosen the set ring at the base of the camera to point the camera lens in any direction. When you are done adjusting the angle, tighten the set ring. The camera is very sturdy and the set position will not move.
