If you would like to save money by not having to buy a dedicated CCTV monitor you can turn any TV into a monitor for your CCTV security system. If you have a TV with RCA type video input, the process is relatively easy. The output from a CCTV camera is one volt peak-to-peak; this is the same voltage a TV RCA video input requires.
