My client would like to view his 8 Cameras on a TV by changing channel # 1 to 8 on a TV.
What's the best shot ? Modulators ?

8 CH DVR To Be Displayed On A TV
Brian Karas
Sep 10, 2017Is the TV going to be used for regular TV/Cable, or just as a camera monitor?
Do you have 8 outputs that you can feed to 8 monitors?
I would probably just find a DVR/NVR with an IR remote, plug that into an HDMI input, and let him "change channels" that way. Would likely be easier overall, cheaper, (and better picture) than modulators.

Sep 10, 2017Hi Brian.
It's a 30 flats Apartments and the landlord would like to give the access to each of his tenants.
Each tenant has a RF cable pulled from the server room.
The landlord has agreed to keep the screen split to view 8 or View 9 so that we only need 1 input.
Thanks.

Sep 11, 2017Does it need to integrate with some existing cable tv system/service, or will the camera feed be the only channel on the coax?

Sep 11, 2017Then yes, modulators would work. Easiest would be old-style analog modulators, but image quality will be reduced. You could step up to a clear QAM HD modulator, though prices would be much higher (~$2,000 USD last time I checked).

Sep 11, 2017I believe the question is "will this be a channel on an existing distributed system or a separate input on each television.
With modern digital CATV systems modulation isn't as easy as it was to share the coax feed.
if you are going to use the television input rarely used in modern viewing because of satellite, network and cable occupying the HDMI inputs, then modulating would work but the image won't be HD.
