Security Camera Systems with Multiple Monitors

A security camera system with multiple monitors can provide a view of your business or property from multiple locations. You can do this by finding the HDMI or VGA output from your security camera recorder and using a powered splitter available from many general electronics retailers.

Whether you are looking to protect your property or simply want peace of mind, a security camera system with an NVR or DVR connected to multiple monitors can be a valuable investment. Here are how to connect your cameras to multiple monitors:

Connect Your Security Cameras to the Video Recorder (NVR or DVR)

Before connecting security cameras with multiple monitors, you need to connect each security camera to the NVR or DVR. Typically, there will be a BNC cable and power adapter that comes with each security camera for analog or HD-over-Coax security cameras and an ethernet cable and power adapter for IP security cameras.

This is a straightforward process: plug the security camera into the video recorder using the appropriate cable and then connect to a power outlet using the included power adapter. Now that each security camera is connected to the NVR or DVR, you can begin the splitting process.

Connect Video Recorder Output to the HDMI/VGA Splitter Input

To successfully connect security cameras with multiple LCD monitors, you will need a video recorder with an HDMI or VGA output. You will also need a powered HDMI or VGA splitter. These outputs are critical because they will send the video signal from the security cameras to the multiple monitors. A splitter is needed because it will take the video signal and split it into multiple signals.

Ensure you're using the right type of security camera system cabling to connect your NVR or DVR to the multiple monitor splitter to avoid any unwanted interference or damage to your equipment.

Connect the HDMI/VGA Splitter Outputs to the inputs on the Monitors

To connect your security cameras with multiple monitors, you can now connect the splitter outputs to the inputs on the monitor using the appropriate cables. Most older security cameras use a VGA cable, the same cable type used for older computer monitors. If you are using the latest IP security cameras, DVRs, and NVRs with HDMI, opt for the highest HDMI cable quality you can afford.

Enjoy Viewing Security Camera Footage on Multiple Monitors

After ensuring everything is set up correctly, you can sit back and enjoy the security footage from your security cameras on multiple monitors. This is a great way to keep an eye on things without constantly moving around or being in one specific spot. Plus, it adds an extra layer of security to your property.
