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.
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.
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.
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!?
DIY is American culture .
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.
Are you still happy with this extender? Is there a better solution today since this video is a few years old? Thanks for making all these videos and the help. It is greatly appreciated!
Yes, I am still happy with these extenders. I think there are wireless 4K solutions out there now, but too rich for my liking. These extenders have been flawless and I still have no complaints.
@@HomeTechDIYThank you so much for the prompt reply. Yes, there are some 4K extenders, but some of them require Cat 6 Cable. Have a great day, and enjoy the winter!
Both Interesting and useful video
Thanks for the really easiest-manner to share your experience
I just have one question
Can i link my HDTV and my DVR by wireless using like an HDMI-Wifi or HDMi-Bluetooth dongle Or adapter in both sides
I will appreciate your advise
Thanks
Did you find the answer? I want to do this for my business but running the cables is too long of a process
How do I get two TVs to work separately?
Great video! Is there a way to do this wirelessly? My CCTV NVR is in the garage at the other end of the house, I don’t fancy running cables across the entire house so wondered if there’s a wireless option utilising my wifi. Thanks.
Did you find a way to do this. Get your camera on your main tv located remotely to NVR ?
Unfortunately not, I just use my iPad.
thanks for this video... it's annoying to keep logging in and out of my mobile phone just to see what my dogs are barking at... by the time i get my phone to stream the cctv footage, the dogs are done barking and the trespassers are already gone... now i don't have to buy another phone/tablet just to non stop stream the cctv from different rooms... cheers!
Awesome! Great setup, thanks for showing as I plan to set up the same thing
I have IP security camera. I want to connect the camera directly to tv without NVR. I tried all sorts of enthernet adapter to hdmi, but they did not work. Would you please direct me how to do?
This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for!!!
It could be more helpful, but maybe I need the swan brand DVR??? Or something like that, that would work with hdmi.
Have swann cctv setup
nice i got to get those recievers.
is there any device that turns the tv on when there is movement?
Wait a minute 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. 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 in my bedrooms TV!?
Good job BUD
I want do same setup -- You gave me ALL they information i need
Thank you for sharing. I didn’t even know there was this option
what happens if you plug in multiple transmitters..Is it possible to set up which transmitter the receiver points to?
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.
You can buy a separate 4-port switch ($20-$30) and connect second transmitter as well as its receivers to that switch.
hello, just to be sure, it dont matter whether its a nvr or dvr, only that there is an hdmi output from the device, right ??
Correct.
What a wonderful helpful video. Thank you.
Hi, I'm Jushkyle, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. My question - I work in the Power Plant company and there are 2 buildings, the 1st building is where the NVR and Router is located and I want to set TV's in the 2nd building in order to view the CCTV footages, since we used Point-to-Point wireless bridge to provide internet in the 2nd building is it possible also to access the NVR CCTV viewing setup on TV's?
I'm wondering the same thing
How to keep camera already wired
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?
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
The router you connected is it just plug and play or you have to setup a network or?
Hi, What’s the difference between the agptek and mirabox devices that you list in the description?
Does anyone know of a device to which you can take the video out of a nvr/DVR and distribute it throughout the house thru coax and have it displayed thru the TV tuner. Most hd TV tuners can do 1080 these days and hardly anyone uses the tuners on their TV's
You can use a hdmi to coax modulator

Thanks a lot for this video. I believe this should still work over a wireless bridge network, right?
Yes, as long as it's on the same subnet and you have good signal strength
For my store office, How do i make cameras cycle through different monitors?? What techniques or equipment is needed?? Thank you so much! 2🙏🙏 😁😁
Can you only do this with ip cctv system dvr/xvrs or can you use the analogue cameras and split the hdmi signal like this for multiple screens using cat 5/6 - at the moment I have a cable in the wall from upstairs dvr to tv downstairs with the transmitters but would like it on multiple screens and I do have Ethernet cable ran everywhere so if I can use the switch to send the signal to every room rather than the hardwired internet would be a lot better
Would it be possible to do the same , but with 3 NVR's? to 3 remote tv's?
Not through the network; you can only have one transmitter. It is possible however using a direct cable, outside the network.
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.
Hi, nice video but will this work using a TP-link instead of the network cable. a TP-link will still send the internet through your plug socket to the other room or multiple rooms
Hi thanks for the video does this work for a dvr
but you did not test with cable over long distances...
What if I only have one Ethernet cable running to my nvidia shield/tv from upstairs POE can I split the network from the wall outlet and use one for extender/hdmi to the tv and still have internet on shield?
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.
Correct. If you have a wireless mouse with enough range, you might be able to change the streams displayed.
@@HomeTechDIY I was wondering the same thing. My HDMI extender also has I IR sensor I can hook up. But my nvr uses a mouse but I hoping I can use my Logitech Harmony Elite to "act" as a mouse. Simple commands like UP, down, Left ,Right arrows and a enter button would move the mouse. My guess I would need something like One for All - Streamer Remote as a go between my mouse at the nvr to the Harmony remote.
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.
Great job explaining the set up. However I have a question that can use your expertise. How would you run a Ethernet cable & HDMI extender to the same TV?
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.
@@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
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.
@@HomeTechDIY Ideally yes, I have a “smart” TV and I’d like to use the Ethernet to stream rather than use wifi.
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, TH-cam, 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.
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?
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.
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, TH-cam, 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?
Is there a way to stream what's on my cameras from one house's TV(network) to a completely different house with a different network?
thank you for this wonderful video, pls i get this network extender in POE device ?
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
@@HomeTechDIY ok thank you for this suggestion
Hi. First of all thank you for your videos, I’ve learned a lot from you and I love it, my question - I have a router with only one port, so I got a switch so I can connect my nvr and more devices, now can I also connect to that switch multiple screens? Or do I need to buy a separate switch for the monitor as you show on the video?
Thanks for the comment and for watching! Yes, you can connect that switch to multiple screens. No need to buy another.
How do I get this device in Nigeria
Good day sir. Do all the TV's need to have the same resolution? I have several extra tvs that would be great for this. Thank you.
No, on the condition that your TV can support the incoming signal.
Hello, I have this it works with my sky box, but doesn't work when I put it in my CCTV unit any suggestions ?
Great solution vs running long HDMI single cable! I needed 50 feet and it was not OK for a while. But much better to replace a RJ45 cable running that stretch vs a HDMI. Do the RX and TX have up-gradable firmware?
Hey Phil! Not that I'm aware of.
What to do if i want to split 16 camera on two TV? 8 cameras on each TV? With this system? Is it possible?
Interesting video. Will this work for a wireless non wifi camera system?
It should work for any device with an HDMI-out connection.
Can you add ADT cameras to night owl security system on a monitor
thank you very much. this saved us a lot of trouble
Hi sir , I have on dout, total 32 camera, how to show complete camera on TV , DVR monitor showing completely, but this DVR connected to another tv , this TV showing only 16 camera, another camera showing next slide show, so how I can do complete camera show one screen , pls reply
Can this be applied to a hard wired dvr system? Thanks
11 11 thank you 😊
hey can i connect mesh system between the hdmi extender?
I don't see why not, but I've never tested it personally.
1080 only?
How I can split 8 channels console to what 4 cameras on echa tv ?
Your NVR would need that ability. These extenders simply duplicate your NVR's display.
Can you send the HDMI output from to NVR CCTV to a Network switch that shares both IP traffic and this device? I mean can I just connect this to anywhere on my network just like a computer and receive the feed? even if it's across multiple switches?
Yes, this device connects just like a computer. Plug it in anywhere on the network and extract it anywhere. Yes, this works across multiple switches.
Hello dude whats i have a question .
I have about 63 ip camera all connected to one poe switch and i wanna use two nvr each 32 ch. Connected to two tvs each tvs shows about 31 ip camera is it possible ?
great job thank u happy hoildays to u and your family besafe always
I have a question regarding the DVR and NVR is it possible to control the dvr via mouse on a different screen with a ir receiver in this setup?
How
Hi I'm Ron. I'm needing to do the same kind of thing for a recording environment where musicians all need to see the same video feed so they can all see each other in realtime. It appears that the latency in your video is being introduced prior to your network. Do you know if it's possible to achieve less latency? Thank you for this video. Nicely done.
Hey Ron. Thanks for the question. I'm not sure how to achieve less latency here in this situation. I'm not sure if a lower quality image would be faster.
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?
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.
@@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.
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.
thanks short and to the point video
So what brand was it in the video
AGPtek
Very helpful, now is there a solution for controlling the DVR from any room where your monitoring your security system
Not yet, but I'd love to have access to the NVR's user interface (and not the one through the app, but the NVR OS)
You could try use a wireless/Bluetooth mouse
Great video, Have you noticed any issues with other none NVR ethernet devices like printers, computers internet speed or performance issues?
No, I have not noticed any ethernet performance issues while using this product. I have a gigabit network and this device only uses a fraction of this bandwidth.
@@HomeTechDIY Just what I wanted to hear, Thanks for the info.
Ian
Interesting and I will try it.
I want to see my camera footage wirelessly, meaning I want to have a screen set up in a different house, what’s your suggestion how I should set it up? Pc on a stick and view it online? Or chromecast?
Assuming you are running a PC to view the cameras, you easiest solution would be to use PC on a stick and install TeamViewer. As long as you have the bandwidth and capacity to transfer a lot of data it should be fine.
I have a question why can't you use the extra ports on the router instead of a network switch. Must it go the the network switch. Thanks just trying to learn something as I am installing a security system in the home. Thanks Mike
Yes, you can use the extra ports on your router instead of a switch. Use any ports on your network and it will work. Hope this helps.
@@HomeTechDIY so if I have this right I can plug the extenders into the back of the router that would be the transmitters correct
This is exactly what is was looking for
Hi sir. I have doubt. My nvr is nearest to wifi router so can i use hdmi receiver rx only?
You would need a minimum of a TX and a RX. The system will not work with just a RX.
Thank you so much for this solution.
is it possible to use for 130 mtr long distance
I am close to finalizing a system on a very large house. THe system has over 20 cameras, so using a hdmi extender will help a lot. however, one of the challenges that i need to solve is how to enlarge one frame of the "grid" of cameras. my hdmi extender has the capacity to use I/R transmit and receive, but the NVR from GW Security does not have any i/r connections. Anyone have an idea how to enlarge a single camera in a system like this?
What cables use? Cat 5e or cat 6 ?
Either cable would work fine.
Have you used the hdmi extenders with ir control?
No, I have not
Is there a way yo do this wirelessly? I don't have network connections at each TV. TIA
I haven't personally used this one, but it should do the trick: amzn.to/3bXkS4t
Is this the only option
I have a question sir supposed i hv 16 ip camera setup and need to show all 16 cam to 4 places then your device works fine but at the same time I want to show specific 4 or more cameras to a company secretary or let's say 4 director 4 different camera on the TV then how to setup the device
In that case, this video is useless . You would have to place Standalone NVR, and add wanted ip adresses to that nvr
Can you connect the cat 5 from the sender through the wall outlet cat 5 and connect say upstairs on another cat 5 wall outlet to the receiver ? Or do I have to fish a cat5 cable
Yes, as long as all the wires lead back to a router or modem.
@@HomeTechDIY Thank you so much. I will try this hope it works !!
@@HomeTechDIY It didn't work. Connected hdmi from sender to tv & cat 6 cable from sender to router then cat cable from router to cat wall Jack then cable from upstairs cat wall jack to the receiver then hdmi to tv. I'm I missing something?
Hi Thanks for the video. My transmitter and receiver works if I plug them directly from one to the other, but when I involve a switch, I cannot get it to work. I need to use this system to get the signal from the NVR upstairs to the TV downstairs which has a Cat5 socket going to the switch. Please can you advise what I'm doing wrong? I have tested all of the cables and sockets with other devices and they all work. Thank you!
You will need to connect a router to your setup. Your modem may have built-in router. You can connect your switch to the modem/router that should allow the transmitter and receiver to communicate with each other over your network.
@@HomeTechDIY Thank you for your reply. I have connected the switch to the router and then all of the cables around the house go into that, ie. the Cat5 socket behind the TV. I know that socket works because it connects to on-line TV and also to a laptop. Any ideas please?
That is odd. Are the yellow lights on the transmitter and on the receiver flashing while the green lights are steady on? Does the TV downstairs support these devices? In my video one of my TV's didn't support the receiver and gave me a unsupported message. The TV should show something; either show no signal or unsupported when connected to the receiver on the correct input/source.
@@HomeTechDIY Thank you for coming back. They are showing a pink/blue light and working correctly through a computer monitor if I connect the two together. As soon as I put them through a router or switch then no signal gets picked up by using the same monitor. It's like the cabling cannot find the connection through the Cat5 cables. It's weird!
In a 16 camera system, with 3 TVs. Can I display 16 cameras in TV1. 8 on TV2 and 4 in TV3? Assume that I want to give limited access to TV2 and TV3? Thanks for your answer.
I doubt it would be possible with any consumer brand NVR. Your system would need to be highly flexible. The only option I can think of would be to use multiple NVRs.
@@HomeTechDIY Thanks for your answer. I understand. I didn't want to use multiple NVR. Hope there is a way to do that.
hi am i able to email you with some hik vision setup questions please?
Please brief the every mechanism parts setup name.
The receiver and transmitter links are in the description, including the HDMI cables used. Do you have a question on a particular component?
I would like to do a similar setup but without using a NVR and using a PC instead of the NVR and running iSpy. Do you have a video of this or can you please make one.. I am in Melbourne Australia. I presently run a laptop with iSpy on it recording from a UBS camera at the front door and would like to put a POE camera there instead so I do not have to run a power lead for the camera and have it connected to my PC and my home network and viewable in the loungeroom and or another PC or a screen in the kitchen as my PC/server and network setup is 12mtrs away up the front of the house.
I touch on using these extenders at 6:41 and noted that it works, but the signal isn't very clear and the screen didn't fit the TV correctly. Maybe if I tested various resolutions, it would work better. If you are using a laptop, you could extend your display to one of these transmitters.
@@HomeTechDIY You didn't answer my question.... but thanks for the reply.
Sorry about that. Your questioning if I have a video of connecting the HDMI extenders to a PC instead of an NVR. No, I don't currently have a video dedicated to this configuration. This video however shows multiple setups including using them over a PC. I currently do not have plans to show this more detail in a future video.
Nice video! Does this setup work through patchbay???
Isn't Patchbay for audio? I didn't think it had RJ-45 connections.
Yes, this extender will work is you use a patch panel.
Is there a way to do this through an app on smart tvs… without a hard wire connection? Thank you!!
Where the record will be saved ?
In my example, the PC and NVR can both record footage.
Does this work with dvr ?
Yes, as long as the DVR has an HDMI out port.
Thnx for share.. use full video
I was just looking for a solution to this very problem.
What setting on network switch? It is default?
Yes, default. It's also an unmanaged switch but that shouldn't make a difference as long as it's not on a different VLAN.
isn't there a wireless option?
Yes. I have never used these but the reviews seem good. And it appears you can use multiple receivers. amzn.to/37YWT4D
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.
IP cam only?
No, any HDMI source to destination.
Link to cameras showed?
What
why not just use an hdmi splitter?
Good question. I have a network connection in every room in my house and no HDMI connections in any. These extenders allow you to pull out the video anywhere you have network access, even wireless. Thanks!
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
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.
@@HomeTechDIY ok kool
Your channel continues to provide brilliant help for aspiring IP-CCTV hobbyists, many thanks newfiebort.
I am about to choose a solution such as the one you have so helpfully described here, for my Hikvision NVR & Cams setup.
One question regarding your experiences with this kit: have you successfully run these units on your main home network, alongside all the other no-CCTV network devices on that network?
I ask because none of the other offerings available on the web seem to offer that 'USP' ('unique selling point'); most explicitly state they cannot be used this way. Do the HDMI devices network signals need to be configured into a separate VLAN perhaps?
Many thanks.
Hey! Thanks for the kinds words! Yes, I run these on my home network and through my switch with a lot of non-CCTV and non-IPC related devices. I have Netflix, TVs, laptops, desktops, Sonos, Airport express, NASs and printers all on the same wired network. I have not tired the HDMI device on a VLAN. Hope this helps.
@@HomeTechDIY Great, many thanks for confirming. Sounds to be just what I need :-)
How to use mouse
I connected a basic wireless mouse to the USB port in the NVR and the mouse has a strong enough range to reach from any room where I have a TV. I use this mouse to control the NVR from any room: amzn.to/2FxsFvh
