Yes, use the A/V input such as RCA, and get an BNC-RCA Adapter.

does the BNC-RCA cable normally comes with the TV?

just need an RCA cable .. you can get them from any electronic store ...
you may already have one lying around from a digital camera or other device .. then you can use the BNC-MALE to RCA-FEMALE Adapter ...

Or for higher quality use Coax (RG59 Copper in and out, solid center) and use a BNC-FEMALE to RCA-MALE ...

Better yet, depends on the camera, if it has S-VHs out .. use that for even higher quality. You would simpy need the S-Vhs cable.

RCA cable is pretty much the most common method though.

why is it that the image on TV is so much better than the image from my DVR card. What could be wrong here?
