video modulators help convert cctv signals into signals a commercial tv television set can display

Video amplifiers are designed to help you extend the normal transmission distance of CCTV video over coaxial lines. This can be useful when you are settng up a security video system in a large room, or need to run lines down hallways, stairwells, or elevator and air vent shafts. Video converters change composite video to PC-compatible VGA signals for display on a VGA monitor.

Video baluns balance impedance across unequal transmission cables. This situation occurs when you connect coaxial (coax) cable to CAT5 cable (UTP or STP). The impedance characteristics of CAT5 and coax wire differ, so a balun provides the necessary conversion and filtering. They can also help you extend your video cables further than if you were using coax straight from the CCTV security camera itself.

Sometimes you want to view security camera output on a regular television (not a composite monitor). Standard signal output from a CCTV security camera is composite video and is NOT viewable on a television screen (television requires an NTSC signal). A modulator corrects this situation and allows you to connect a CCTV camera to a regular television set (non-digital, non-hi-def).

We carry a full line of video baluns, surge protectors, and extenders to enhance your surveillance camera installation. These products offer a number of advantages. We carry active and passive baluns and amplifiers that let you extend video signals further than the distance normally allowable when output from the camera alone. We carry adapters that let you view your CCTV camera output on a standard PC monitor (VGA only). We have breakout boxes that split signals from one camera to numerous monitors. We also carry power converters that let you send power (and video signals) through CAT5 unshielded twisted pair (or shielded) cable to your camera, eliminating the need for a separate power connection at the camera location itself. Don't forget surge protectors (you'll find them in the video baluns category) - our video cable surge protectors and data cable surge protectors help guard your equipment from damaging lightning strikes targeting your surveillance network.
