I tried searching forum but couldnt find. Does anyone whats the best splitter or what to use in order to split the monitor out on a DVR to be able to see over multiple monitors? What I want to do is have multiple monitors for one DVR system? Thanks.

Your right, I think the best option is to just use the exisitng RG6 and 1 Cat5e and just use it for 1 camera so there will be no problems with it. I didnt run these exisiting wires so I dont know what there intentions were when running both together. (they had 2 cameras in mind)

Even with a balun you dont think that the cat5 will be able to power both cameras? If not then I guess what your suggesting is run another 18-4, in order to power both cameras, then use the 1 cat5e for Video for one camera using the balun, then use the other RG6 wire I have there for video to the second camera? My power will then come from the new 18-4 wire. Im not to sure what your suggesting, I would of thought that cat5e can run power too as long as your using 2 pair at least. Thanks

I need to split off 2 cameras with video & power over 1 cat5, plus I have 1 RG6 wire which has already been ran both together. So what I really want to do is be able to setup a total of 2 regular analog cameras, and be able to use the one cat5 wire and 1 RG6 to accomplish this without having power or video loss. I looked into the cyrex CBLNPT baluns but I dont think that will work. due to having to use 2 pairs for power and 1 pair for video, which only leaves me with 1 pair to power the 2nd camera, if that 1 pair would even supply the right amount to power the camera. Unless I was thinking to use 1 pair for video on the cat5, for the one camera, and use the RG6 for video on the 2nd, then just use the remaining 6 wires, using 3 for each camera for power. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried the manufactures website. You can try downloading the latest firmware which I know for most DVR's will reset it back to default removing the password. if your dvr has a usb just download it to a flash drive into main folder and reload from there unless the manufacture requires a different way to default the system. hope that helps. good luck.
