Okay, i bought a CCTV camera so i could see outside my house gate without having to get up and at night.

I dont want a DVR or any recording mechanism, only a live feed.

My question is how do i connect it so that it can be viewed on a samsung led tv?

I would like to wire it to the tv over coaxial cable then view it on the tv live.

Except there is some sort of unknown cable on the end ( You have to push and twist in to get it to lock )

Any ideas?

I would ask a CCTV guy, but the ones nearby charge extreme amounts just to install one camera, and the guys who do it cheap wont come as i live in the outskirts of lahore. Too far for them.

Since CCTV camera is taking analog input. Without DVR, you cannot put it right into the LCD. There are two ways you can do this
1. Buy a used Old monitor from some shop that has analog input
2. Buy a dany tv device or any other, this will convert the analog signal to digital and you can see it on our samsung LED

P.S I have video intercom installed in my home. The only downside is these are black and white video(Brand is commax i guess and costs around 5~7K) dont know rite now. Bought it 5 years back

I have CCTV connected through Coax to DVR and then onwards from the DVR to 5 different Monitors inside the house. There I use a DanyTV device to get output on all displays.

The samsung LED supports component and analog cable input, so analog/digital is no issue.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    Hellblade 2 83 OpenCritic, not bad at all. 2 points higher than the first game.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
