Thank you ALL for your replies. I cannot convert this particular camera to hd-sdi, because the camera is a wireless elevator's one that goes with rg59 or cat5 cable w/video balun. But I've found a converter on ebay that will do a conversion from analog to hd-sdi signal.

Found one product that can be a solution for it: http://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-Mini-Converter-Analog/dp/B001F71KII/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1386615775&sr=8-2&keywords=analog+to+hd-sdi+converter Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Analog to SDI

Hello, I have one analog camera and 15 hd-sdi cameras, all should be connected to hd-sdi dvr. Will analog camera work if connected to hd-sdi dvr, is any solution to make it work ? Don't want to deal with hybrid hd-sdi system, only one analog camera. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am mostly in residential/commercial CCTV systems.

Hello, I am looking for advice on insurance company for my CCTV business. Any recommendations ? Thank you in advance.

Bought the following on Amazon and already used it, worked like a charm: 1. Fluke TS90 Cable Fault Finder - 155.99$ 2. Fluke Networks 26100900 PRO3000 PROBE (Probe Only / No Tone Generator) - 67.95$

I've completed a job recently where wireless elevator system (transmitter/receiver) were installed. The building has 6 floors and a video signal was very clear. We've used an existing rg59 cable from office to the elevator and installed a new wire only in elevator shaft to the receiver (~5 feet). The new corner camera was installed in elevator cabin and connected to the transmitter at the bottom of the cabin.

Check this one out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-elevator-CCTV-system-/111005280935?pt=US_Security_Cameras&hash=item19d86e2aa7 LED optic, no interference, even better. Has anybody worked with it ?

Hello everybody, Is anybody worked with "L1350 Elevator Camera with Wireless CCTV Video Transmission": http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Elevator-Camera-CCTV-p/elt-l1350.htm I am trying to gather all information possible about it, would like to hear a reviews from installers. I have a multiple buildings where elevators wired systems need to be replaced due to stop working or poor video quality. Thanks in advance.

First of all, want to thank everyone who jumped in and sent a response, it's greatly appreciated. Let me give a little bit more details. When I came on site, the outdoor camera already lost video. The power was normal (~12.7 V), tried to connect 2 different cameras (no video), tried a different BNC connectors (no progress). Now about Sperry coax/cat5 tester: it's giving me a tone even if the wire is damaged, not sure if it can be used when the goal is to find if the wire is damaged, it can only be used for finding a correct wire from the bunch, but it's not what I am trying to achieve here.

That's what I did, when ran a test: 1. connected a coax adapter from the Sperry receiver to rg59 cable on one side and touched a center copper on another side with the tester - tone heard (all is normal) 2. the rg59 wire was damaged (I cut center conductor somewhere in the middle) and connected the same way as I did in step 1 - tone heard (same tone again) Not sure if I've troubleshooted the correct way, please let me know.

I've bought a Sperry coax tester, but I don't think it will be useful for what I am trying to do. Can I use it to find if rg59 cable is damaged (no video on DVR side from a camera). I did a test and cut the cable on purpose, but the tester still gave me the tone, thought it should not give any if wire is damaged.

Not really sure if I need to spend 100$ more on RH328VC (299$ in Home Depot). The only difference I've found between those 2 models is Amperage and Blows per minute.

Does RH328VC has reverse ?

That's what I would need then. Thank you for response.
