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

Most security cameras come with instructions for how to transmit and receive. The process depends mainly on whether your security camera is wireless.

Things You'll Need

• Television
• Security camera

Instructions

1. Refer to the owner's manual provided with your security camera.

2. If you lose your owner's copy, you can usually find it on the manufacturer's Web site. If not, search the Web using the name and model of your security camera. Download or save the manual.

3. Follow the manual's instructions on feeding the signal from your home security camera to a television.

Tips & Warnings

• Staging a burglary on your own home can help you to spot vulnerable areas in your security system.

• Always lock your doors and set your security system. A large number of burglaries happen while homeowners are away on short trips, such as an excursion to the local grocery store.

• If you move into a new home, change all of the locks immediately. You have no idea who has had keys to the home in the past or where those keys are now.

• Before trusting that your home security camera is working properly, test it on your television to make sure the camera is transmitting and the television is receiving.
