Can you view a CCTV camera on a normal tv?

[mshaffer 0]

I bought a BNC to F-Type adapter and plugged it into the antenna jack on my tv with a coaxial cable. It didn't work. I have a newer flatscreen tv and the picture was just blank. Maybe I'll try my old 13" CRT in the kitchen. Is it possible to view a cctv camera on a normal tv? The camera is going to be out of wifi range so I can't adjust it by logging into the DVR software.

There are a number of ways, but to make any suggestions I'd need to know the application and what hardware you already have. Some basic details about the TV couldn't hurt either (i.e. - inputs, resolution..)

 

I can tell you with a good deal of certainty that the antenna input on the back of your TV is going to get you nowhere, especially not via the methods you've already tried.

If you have the new tv's

what you need to do is use this

its bnc to rca

and then you plug in yellow composite video in for tv.
