I demonstrate how I pass an HDMI signal from my NVR through my network’s switch to 3 TV’s in my home. This allows me to quickly view all the cameras displayed on my recorder’s screen. When I switch my TV’s source I can view all around my property and into my basement. There is always a TV on and it’s much quicker than logging into the NVR or my phone. I unbox the device, set it up, test it out and give my thoughts. The transmitter and receiver can be connected by a single network cable or through a router or switch to made the video signal available anywhere on your network. Check it out and see if it’s an option to make you camera viewing experience better.

GOOD JOB! I really like it when people keep it short, direct, to the point, well spoken and literate.

[@madcowusa4277]

Perfect. Neat solution to what I want to do - remotely hide the NVR and see camera feeds on stand alone monitors in the kitchen and office without needing PCs at each location.

Nice, I have learned a lot about Ip security cameras from your videos and I am thinking of choosing a ptz dome that has 30x optical zoom and mount it higher to use to read license plates of cars.

[@angelurena6137]

If I'm not mistaken, this setup assumes you have ethernet cables running inside the walls throughout your house. Maybe that's the case in Canada, but in the US that's very rare.

[@cameronh8118]

So my main TV has the DVR along with main HDMI cable connected to it along with the connection to the Internet router which is right next to it. I want to display the live feed to my tv in my bedroom. Which is on the other side of the house. However from my understanding is that I would have to have a cable ran from the back of the router which is in the other room in order for me to have the live view on my bedrooms TV!?

[@HomeTechDIY]

Great question, but I'm not sure what would happen. There doesn't seem to be a way to setup multiple transmitters. There is also no configuration on the receiver to say which transmitter signal to receive, it just takes the signal it can find.

[@bazoozoo1186]

You can buy a separate 4-port switch ($20-$30) and connect second transmitter as well as its receivers to that switch.

You're welcome. I don't think these extenders are available using PoE from a PoE switch, but there are some models which only have 1 power adapter and use PoE technology to power both the TX and RX. Here is an example, but you cannot use multiple RX and the device use one network cable and not the network. amzn.to/4a5y5FQ

[@windydayphotography627]

I currently have a TV with a direct connection to the internet, not using wireless connection. I understand how to connect the sender unit the NVR but I only have 1 RJ45 jack at the TV and its used for the primary signal. It seems like I would need to run another RJ45 line behind the wall to give me another plug for the receiver. Is this true?

[@HomeTechDIY]

Yes, that is one solution, or you could add a network switch to the single line you have for your TV to split it out for more devices. I have several switches around my house because running additional lines is expensive and I don't always have the ability to get behind the walls. I have one in my office, behind 2 TVs, in my studio and a huge 48 port switch in my network room. Here is a good option: amzn.to/3NTOGU2

This looks like what I need just one question on this. I have several security cameras around the company that I work at so connecting this directly to nvr will display multiple cameras. Does this soultuion allow me view one particular camera to a specific TV?

[@HomeTechDIY]

No, this will not allow you to see one camera per a specific TV. The extender allows you to see your NVR screen at far distances from the NVR. When you select one camera on the NVR, that one camera will be displayed on all receivers.

[@NYCokiii]

Is it possible to display different cameras in seperate screens?

Unfortunately not. This is basically an extension of the HDMI port. If the NVR has multiple HDMI ports and the ability to separate cameras, they the extenders would be able to broadcast that.

Thanks! The Ethernet cable connects to the extender box and then the HDMI cable runs from the extender box, into the TV. Hope that helps.

[@cedt1403]

@@HomeTechDIY I’m not sure if I’m explaining it well I know from your explanation that the Ethernet runs from the switch to the receiver but I’d like the HDMI from The receiver AND the Ethernet to connect to the back of my TV

[@HomeTechDIY]

If your TV has HDMI and an Ethernet port, yes it's possible to plug them in, but the LAN port on the TV does not accept the extender's signal. Are you wanting to use the TV's Ethernet port as an signal source input? Sorry, I'm a little confused on your goal.

[@cedt1403]

@@HomeTechDIY Ideally yes, I have a “smart” TV and I’d like to use the Ethernet to stream rather than use wifi.

[@HomeTechDIY]

I feel the same way. I use a wired connection whenever possible. This is how I have my TVs setup. Using the TV's Ethernet port, I am connected to my network's switch for all my TV content (Netflix, KZbin, News, etc). I also have my HDMI Extender's receiver plugged into the HDMI port on my TV. When I want to see my security cameras, I push the source button on the report and the TV switches to display that HDMI port. Behind my TV, I have multiple Ethernet ports, but I also have a small 8-port switch there to split out the Ethernet connection so I have many, for gaming and other devices.

Your NVR would need that ability. These extenders simply duplicate your NVR's display.

Does you need a separate router to send the signal of the transmitter through the existing network or you can use your isp provider ( Verizon, Comcast’s) router to plug the transmitter and send the signal to all your network ?

You can use your existing router from your ISP and it will send the signal through your entire network.

Sounds interesting, but what about NVR and network over Wi-Fi, can I watch live or recorded video from the recorder on my smart TV, just like watching the same on my smartphone via the appropriate App? If it's an Android smart TV, why there isn't an App to watch live, captured or recorded security video from a remote controller? All the Apps there are on Smart TV are movie Apps, KZbin, Netflix, Foxtel, etc. Paying so much for a Smart TV and can't even get the same Apps you get on mobiles? Not so smart, is it?

I know this is kinda old video but I got a pair of similar (different brand) adapters recently but I am having issues with my entire network as soon as the adapter is switched on. My entire surveillance network just go down everytime I switched on the adapter. Googled around but not much answers. Only a hand full of suggestions that this could be something call broadcast storm and so on. I wonder if your adapter is different?

[@HomeTechDIY]

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago with these extenders. I lost internet for about an hour. I am still not convinced that the extenders caused the issue, but I haven't used them in a while and the timing is almost too coincidental. I would start off by downloading Fing to PC or a mobile device and check out the IP addresses and see if there are any duplicates. Also remove everything from the network with the exception of the extenders and slowly start adding devices. Hopefully someone with more network experience can also chime in here.

[@minc3]

@@HomeTechDIY thank for replying. My local seller suggested me to use an isolated network for that purpose only. And that to me defeats the purposes of blending in my existing network. I actually tried again yesterday. Making sure I have enable igmp snooping for my network switches and router. No luck, as soon as I switched on the sender unit, the entire wired network went haywire. This time round I noticed that the sender unit has all led lit up. Meanwhile receiver unit did not (indicating it’s not working as intended according to the user manual). Not sure what’s wrong, my tv shows no signal. It is as thou the receiver do not know how to receive the signal. Meanwhile sender just blast all datas into the network.

[@HomeTechDIY]

Yeah, that is strange. Maybe test with a simpler setup. Try running a ethernet cable between the transmitter and receiver, with no network in between. That should help pinpoint if it's an issue with the hardware.

Normally when we directly connect a monitor to NVR we also get to use a mouse to click on individual video streams, zoom in etc.. I guess we can't do that in this setup.. Also if you have 16 or 32 channel NVR than you basically will be seeing all the streams together and it will be very difficult to see things.

Agreed. If your place isn't wired and if you have a strong signal at each end, using a WiFi version would be a lot easier. I still haven't been able to find a wireless setup which allows multiple receivers at a comparable price to these however.

The monitor Alone Will not solve your problem. Aditionally You Will need a mouse especially when You have Many cameras IPC and You want to change the view. Extending the mouse would complete the solution. Do You know how to do it???? Sorry with My English....

[@HomeTechDIY]

Agreed! A wireless mouse will complete the system.

Is there a way to do this through an app on smart tvs… without a hard wire connection? Thank you!!

[@69bobr]

Maybe I missed your explanation, but I have cable TV (coaxial) wires in several rooms and would like to be able to hook up some type of inexpensive monitor screens. Where do I hook up those coaxial cables? Or are they useless for this purpose? PLEASE help me, and if you have any suggestions for inexpensive monitors. I have ADT security.

Makes no sense ...more likely the existing network cable would be already use for something... so we would have to run network cables...why not just run a hdmi cable straight instead of going through so much protocol... these devices should have wireless, then they would make sense

[@HomeTechDIY]

Agreed, if you don't have the network drops available and cannot add network switches to split out your lines, you may need to look at wireless solutions.

No, any HDMI source to destination.

is there a 4k version

[@HomeTechDIY]

I don't think there is a 4k version over IP. Are you looking for a IP based solution or peer-to-peer with a single CAT6 cable?

[@HomeTechDIY]

Ok cool. I had a second look but nothing is popping out for an IP based solution for 4k on an existing network.

I have Hikvision, Reolink, WYZE and some smaller brand names. Yes, from what I hear, Lorex is a decent brand.
