wiring home security cameras

[Decaf]

Hi all, this is my first post, still new to this forum, anyways straight to the point i recently bought 4 security cameras off Craigslist in hopes of setting them up around my house, now before i go any further my goals are not to hook them up to a DVR system right away, at the time being i just want them so i can monitor my front/back door, and driveway from my room. i originally thought wiring these would be simple but it has proved to be a bit more then i can handle



the big guy has 4 wires, red, green, clear, and uncoated
the gold guy has 4 wires, red, black, yellow, white
the smaller one, under the big guy has 4 wire, red, black, yellow, and uncoated
and the last guy on the right has 3 wires, yellow, red, and uncoated.

any help getting these guys wired up would be very grateful .

the big guy has 4 wires, red, green, clear, and uncoated

red red -> (+) power
not sure for the rest

the gold guy has 4 wires, red, black, yellow, white

red -> (+) power
black -> ground, usually for power
yellow -> video
white -> ground, probably for video

the smaller one, under the big guy has 4 wire, red, black, yellow, and uncoated

red -> (+) power
black -> ground, usually for power
yellow -> video
uncoated -> ground, probably for video

and the last guy on the right has 3 wires, yellow, red, and uncoated.

red -> (+) power
yellow -> video
uncoated -> ground (for power+video)

you need to do some testing, those are based on my very limited experience - not guaranteed to be correct

Easy way would be to use 9-12 volt ac/dc adapter for each camera. Red=positive, Black=negative. Then use the red, white, and yellow AV input to your TV set. You may have to cut the jacks from the AC adapters and RCA cables to splice into your camera wires. Test the yellow white and red AV inputs on your TV for video and audio. You should be able to monitor AV1 and AV2 , depending on your TV set.

uh no lets not make assumptions

So Right, more details necessary. Just a general idea of how 12v DC CCTV cams can be set up without a DVR.

so ive pretty much figured out how to wire everything, now anyone have any suggestions on what to use as a power supply? ive looked at RG59 Coaxial CCTV-Cam Cable, but thats a bit pricey. i think for my budget setup im going to setup power close to the camera and just run the video camera to my room. so i know i cant just wire them to a plug and stick it into a wall, so what should i be looking for? they are all dc 12v, does the mA difference matter? any particular adapters i should be looking for or can i just hack an old 12v dc plug and use that?

Milliamps must be same or greater

Milliamps must be same or greater

so if i wer to find a plug that converts to 12v dc with a 500 mA that would work for both the camera with the 350mA and 200mA?

Would stress it a bit methinks. An old external hard drive brick is usually good for a couple amps.

okay so the closer i can get to the mA's the better, over is okay but under wont work. makes sense.
