|
Can anyone tell me the best and or easiest way to add multiple monitors to a system? Flat panels. 2-3 extra monitors. One will be 100ft. away.
Thanks

need more specifics - do you want to replicate the dvrs main monitor on these 2-3 other monitors? if so do you want control as well or just view? and do you want all monitors to be independant of eachother meaning if someone changes the view on the dvr or access the saved video, etc do u want all other monitors to change as well or stay on the live feeds
you could be talking kvm switches or video dist amp, etc
looks like ur asking about analog cctv - you need to get a video distribution amp, pelco makes a good one that will take 16 cams and send the video out 4x - then you will need a mux on that end to receive those feeds and put them into a multiple feed config on the monitor

These will be flat panels with vga connections. Is there a distibution box out there for vga? For now he will want to see same view as the DVR.

ok for vga you will need to go with kvm switch and kvm over cat5 - i have used aten and black box for this. basically a device sits by the dvr that you plug into the dvr and then you run a line of cat5 cable from that device to the remote device and plug in your remote lcd screen.

my setup was more of a multiple kvm switch where you can control and view the dvr from 3 different workstations - might be overkill for this application if he just wants video
