For the production I am in currently, I decided it would be neat to rig up a CCTV with night vision capabilities so that our
stage manager could get a better view of the stage. I acquired two cameras, and am now in the process of trying to get them to work. I didn't go any research into the subject before hand, but upon getting them, I learned that they need both D.C. power and BNC connectors. I got the proper transformer to make them power up, but here is my problem: I do not have any video monitors. I got a BNC to Coax connector, but I cannot get it to transmit signal. I have two cameras, a massive outdoor one, and a smaller indoor camera with 50ft range. They both transmit static and fuzz, but in the smaller camera, I can see a blurry outline of my hand when I wave it through the field of vision.
here is what it comes down to:
Do I need to go out and buy an actual CCTV monitor, OR can I make it work with a regular TV and some hardware.
Thanks for all help and happy holidays!
