I just want to test this surveillance camera, I already have the power connected and the coax cable terminated with a bnc connector connected to the video out on the camera and the other end of the coax cable connected to the back of the tv. Nothing shows on the tv just a snowy picture. I don’t know if this is how must be connected.

Hi, couple of potential problems:
Type in RF Modulator in google to find your local supplier. A cheaper alternative is to convert the BNC cable to scart with a cheap connector from Circuit City / Radio Shack, then connect to TV or VCR
3) Last of all, if the above does not work, ensure the camera, power supply and cables are connected and working correctly.
Hi, couple of potential problems:
1) How have you connected it to the TV? if you have connected the camera to the antenna in socket (known as RF connector), then this is the main reason you are not getting a picture. You need a device called ‘RF modulator’ which converts the camera video signal to same frequency as the antenna type connection.

2) Another reason you may not get a picture is that the TV channel may not be correct. Check to see if you have an AV input on your TV and remote, if you did use the antenna socket, try tuning the TV.

Hope this helps
