HD-TVI Cameras | 1080p HD-TVI CCTV Security Cameras
HD-TVI cameras are a type of analog high definition CCTV security camera (megapixel video over coaxial cabling / HD over coax) that supports up to 1080p video resolution. HD-TVI cameras are a great alternative to traditional analog CCTV and megapixel IP surveillance cameras because of their superior video quality and ability to use RG59 coax cable. TVI cameras are used by professional and DIY installers because they are so affordable and simple to install. Learn more by reading our article: What is HD-TVI?
For recording, HD-TVI security cameras must be used with a compatible DVR. CCTV Camera Pros supplies hybrid HD-TVI / CCTV DVRs that work with analog CCTV and TVI cameras (720p and 1080p models). These hybrid DVRs allow users to mix and match combinations of both camera types and upgrade existing analog systems over time to high definition. We highly recommend Viewtron hybrid BNC DVRs for use with these cameras.

Coax Cable for HD-TVI Cameras
One of the advantages of HD-TVI cameras is that they can use the same RG59 coax cable as traditional analog CCTV cameras and the cable runs can be just as long (max distance about 800 feet). Our RG59 Siamese cable options have been tested with HD-TVI cameras and are guaranteed by CCTV Camera Pros to work with the TVI cameras that we supply.
TVI Camera Video Over CAT5 Cable
In addition to RG59 coax cable, TVI cameras can also be wired using CAT-5 / CAT-5e cable by using video baluns. Video baluns convert the UTP cable in CAT5 to BNC connections on the camera and DVR end of the cable run. You can learn more about
video baluns for TVI cameras here.
HD-TVI Compatible Security Camera DVRs
AHD cameras do require a compatible HD DVR in order to capture high definition video. CCTV Camera Pros offers hybrid DVRs that work with HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD, and standard definition analog CCTV cameras (CVBS). We highly recommend our Viewtron
hybrid HD CCTV DVRs for use with HD-TVI cameras.
