3) Watch your CCTV as a separate TV channel using a Digital Modulator
Most homes still use a co-ax as a way to distribute TV signals from the aerial to the various TVs within the property so a digital modulator allows you to make the best of this set up and use it to distribute your home CCTV through this same co-ax network. It works by allowing the HDMI output of a DVR (or other equipment such as a satellite box) to be converted into a digital RF signal or ‘Digital TV channel’ so you can distribute it around a home and watch it on any TV, just like a real digital TV channel.

5) Transmit a wirefree CCTV signal to your TV for extra security
Some CCTV camera locations make it difficult or impossible to get cable back to the DVR (eg, over a road). If you have power at your remote location use the wirefree Videomitter and simply send it back straight into your TV. Use the TV’s existing composite video input or Scart connection to feed the image on to one of the AV channels.
