The following is an example of 4 cameras connected to an T-Video DVR system with its own distributed power supply.  

These are the basic components of an T-Video system:

DVR

The DVR records and stores the images sent by the video cameras digitally . The digitized video data offers superior clarity of the video images and supports quick research and retrieval functions, a distinct disadvantage of the old analog time lapse video cassette recording system.

Monitor

A monitor is needed to see all the DVR activities locally at a site. LCD monitors are typically used to minimize space needed for the DVR.

CCTV Cameras

Closed Circuit Television cameras are used as the image source for the DVR. Depending on the environment, location, lighting conditions, etc., various types of cameras with suitable housings and fixtures are offered for best results.

BNC Connectors

These are the type of connectors that are used to connect the CCTV cameras to the ActiveEYE DVR. Cables will need to have these BNC connecters on them in order to connected the two sides together. 

Co-axial Cable

The standard for CCTV cabling is called RG59. This is a type of Co-axial or Co-ax cable specifically used to connect the CCTV cameras to the DVR. BNC connectors need to be attached the Co-ax cable in order to interface with the cameras and the DVR.

A pair of 18 AWG wires are also needed to provide the camera with power, in addition to the Co-ax cables.

Power Supply

The CCTV cameras need to have their own power supply as well as the Co-ax data cable. The power can be from a dedicated transformer or from and central distributed power supply. The dedicated transformers are cheap but bulky when there are many cameras. The distributed power supply can have battery back up.
