How to Feed the Signal from a Home Security Camera to a Monitor

To transmit the signal from a home security camera to a monitor, you must make sure both devices are working properly and can perform this action. Follow the steps below.

Instructions

1. Consult your owner's manual to see if your security camera can transmit to a monitor.

2. Follow the instructions provided with the receiver to feed the signal from your security camera.

3. If you lose the copy of the manual that came with your device, you can find it on the Internet, usually on the manufacturer's Web site. If you can't find it there, do a general Web search including the terms "Manual" and "Operator Instructions" and, of course, the name and model number of your camera.

4. Print or save the manual and follow the instructions to feed the signal from a home security camera to a monitor.

Tips & Warnings

• When installing a security system, hide all wires and as much other evidence of a system as you can. Burglars often look for ways to shutdown or disable security systems.

• Do your best to make your home look occupied by installing timers on lights, televisions and radios.

• If your security alarm goes off on its own when there is no burglary in process, get it fixed as soon as possible. You may also want to let your neighbors know that there was a problem that's been fixed so that they won't begin to ignore the alarm.
