I would like to connect a security camera to a stand-alone computer monitor (no computer involved) rather than to a TV. Will this adapter work?

no, this adapter is designed more to be used as a lead in cable to another special box that auto corrects for TV/Monitor situations. Part of the reason why they are named wrong for what they do.
1381635
I don't think so. It is a one way directional cable. the RGB end is for receiving the signal from a source like a computer and the RCA is for plugging into a monitor. or so I think.
1381636
No, it is meant to go in one direction. This is old technology, since the VGA output is usually digital and none of the TV's/Monitors that I've tested can find a signal on the S-Video or the Composite (Yellow) connector when I hook it up to a computer. As said elsewhere, there used to be converter boxes for games and such that could use this.If you have a fairly new computer monitor, it may have a Composite input jack (Yellow) already, so a digital security camera could be wired directly.

In theory you can connect the av out to the adapter straight to the computer, you will need a male-male cable to connect them yes

I have seen several converters under 20 dollars. Search Amazon with the name of the connection ends: in this case try "PC to TV connector" or VGA to TV adapter".

If you are looking to connect your laptop using the red, white, and yellow jacks usually used for a VCR, etc, this will not work. I actually purchased this same adaptor and tried it but found after more research that you need a converter. I finally purchased the (search this) Sewell SW-23000 PC to TV Converter and it worked like a charm. It powers with a USB plug into your laptop so no power cord to outlet is necessary. Picture quality is about an 8 out of 10 for me but I'm very happy with it. Hope it helps!

No because you would have to be able to load the driver to allow the adapter to work. Now if there is a way to load the driver to the TV, possibly Yes. Check the TV manual.

Well moniter will work with a security system,if the system you have has hook up for computer monitor

This cable first connects effortlessly to the standard RCA or S-video cables you probably already have, then to the TV on one end and to your computer on the other.It still did not work for me probably because my video card does not have a TV out function. It must be equal to or better than a G400 and NV6 according to the specifications of this adapter.

I think it will work. I use this on a TV that has HDMI and the computer only has VGA and I have not had any problems withit .

It will only work if you have an RCA type connection or an adapter of some sort, most monitors have these, but few computers do

It's not that kind of adapter, you should try something like this: SYBA Universal VGA to HDMI Converter with Audio Support, Adapter for PC, Laptop, DVD, Desktop, SY-ADA31025

This adapter is specifically for output to another monitor from a Computer or Laptop... so it is an output device only. I would not expect it to be able to work as an input device at all.

This converter is made to connect an HDMI output on a computer to a VGA input on a monitor (or tv). That is why it isn't working for you.

I actually got a security camera with it too, but you need to apply power to the camera, receiver (if you have one), and TV all at the same time. If you have a receiver (like I do) you need to plug the VIDEO ONLY (usually yellow plug) into one of the white or yellow plugs (on the TV); If you have a CAMERA ONLY you need to plug the VIDEO ONLY (usually yellow plug) into one of the white or yellow plugs (on the TV). (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TV DOES NOT SUPPORT AUDIO) It is a bit confusing but the white and yellow (on the TV) are two separate video inputs that you can toggle between each. The RED is the power, just use a standard AC TO DC converter that will fit into the TV plug, and make sure the OUTPUT: 12V --- 1.0A is correct so you don't fry the TV. (there are different sizes that will fit into the TV so make sure you find one that fits) If you have any more questions please Email me at: Todd.Gimbel@gmail.com

A cable with male BNC connectors is provided with the unit which is typical for security cameras. You can purchase adapters that cinvert the BNC to an RCA video connector (the yellow connector on the AV input of a flat screen, for example). If your PC has a "TV-card" or other adapter that includes an RCA video input, you could hook this up easily. If not, I am not certain how you would be able to receive the camera signal without an external converter or adapter. The remote control capabilities for the PTZ are stand alone and would work fine with any setup.

this adaptor converts from usb to RS232 serial. If that is what you are trying to do it will work well. It is not for VGA as that is a video format.

You will need a separate VGA cable to connect to this adapter. They are cheep and easy to find. It's possible the device you are wanting to connect o already has one, or came with one.

Yes, a VGA to RCA adapter like this one should work for you - Monoprice VGA to RCA
