tweak'e 0 Posted December 15, 2009 my system splits one video feed off to a monitor before the dvr. just using couple of plugs at the moment. however sometimes the monitor plugs come loose and upsets the video feed. just wondering is a proper active video splitter would isolate the DVR from the monitor so the monitor can be unpluged without upsetting recoding pics.

vin2install 0 Posted December 15, 2009 You need an active video splitter/distributor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tweak'e 0 Posted December 16, 2009 any chance you know the current draw of that splitter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vin2install 0 Posted December 16, 2009 It uses 12VDC and draws about 100mA of power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tweak'e 0 Posted December 18, 2009 i just picked up the ones thats pictured. current draw is listed at 40ma. it takes 12v or 24vac. however i wonder if its ok with vehicle powersupply ie 11-14v ? i can run it off regulated DVR power but if DVR goes down i loose ability to view the camera. also quick test showed all earths are common on it so not fully isolated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tweak'e 0 Posted December 19, 2009 installed and quick test. it seams to work ok. i have a broken lead to the screen which must have been casueing the dvr not to record that camera. now the dodgy lead doesn't effect the dvr pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
