[Shop-talk] Stupid camera question

[eric at megageek.com]

It isn't that simple.  The unit is literally 'built into' the ceiling in a 
protected box (so it can't be removed if the house is robbed.)

I also don't have spare cable and all the cables I do have a run inside 
walls and such.

I am also curious about what these standards are.

Thanks.

I'd just use a short temporary wire connected directly to the DVR to test 
the new camera next to the DVR and monitor.  When you find the setting 
that works, then reconnect the long wire at the DVR and install the camera 
outside.

OK, so one of my security cameras died last week.   

All of the replacement ones seem to have a 4 way switch to define how it 
worked.  Problem is, I can't figure out what the one camera format was. 

Here is the camera I am replacing...

The camera I have has these 4 options... 
CVBS 
TVI 
CVI 
AHD 

I have no idea what to set it to. 

I also have to get up a ladder outside to install it so I don't want to 
have to try every setting and run inside each time (I live alone.)  8>( 

Thanks in advance.
