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.
