Hi ,


We have a CCTV cam (Bosh WZ18) that is 1500 feet from the LCD display.


The cable that was used is a RG59 and having 2 splices (2 junctions).


The video signal is poor , we can see tha image but with lines and
it's noisy.


Is there a way to improve or "rebuild" the signal ?


I tried a VID-AMP SPECO / PROVIDEO VID-AMP 1 IN / 1 OUT VIDEO
AMPLIFIER but did not help.

A few questions to maybe lead you to the problem...
Do you have a good picture when the display is connected close to the
camera? *If not, then either the camera or the display is bad. *If yes, then
the coax or the splices might be bad. *Does the picture degrade when the amp
is connected?
Where do you have the video amp installed? *It should be close to the
camera; not the display.
Are the camera and amp getting good power?
Are the spliced connections clean and dry?
Is the coax in good shape? *Is it old?

Hi , it's a brand new cable. Splices are good. Signal at the CAM is
good. I cannot connect the AMP to the CAM side , only at the Display
side. That's an issue.

I thing the problem here is the lenght of the cable. Usually , RG6
would be better and less than 1000 feet. 1500 feet is very long.


Thanks
