CVBS OUT (Optional Secondary Output)
The yellow CVBS OUT connector provides a secondary analog
output for the camera.
It is not compatible with HD-SDI
DVRs.
It can be used to connect the camera to a secondary CCTV monitor
or non-HD-SDI DVR via BNC or to a TV using an RCA to BNC
adapter (Lorex model # BNCB). Output from the CVBS connector is
not in HD.
Example scenarios using the CVBS OUT connector:
•
Secondary BNC monitor to test camera image during installation.
•
Secondary TV or CCTV monitor used as a public display monitor.
•
Secondary non-HD-SDI DVR used as a backup recorder.
Before installing the camera:
•
Decide whether to run the
cables through the wall /
ceiling (drilling required) or
along the wall / celing.
•
If you run the cables along
the wall / ceiling, you must
run the cable through the
cable notch on the base. This
will keep the camera base
flush to the wall / ceiling
when mounted.
