I have been searching hard for a reference or discussion for what I want to
do, but so far no luck and I am still puzzled. I hope someone here will
steer me right.

I want to install up to 4 CCTV cameras for home security. Running cable is
no problem (I have already run a cable package that includes 18-4/Cat5e/RG-6
Quad to each location). I do not require VCR capability or alarm tie-in
just now.

I presently have a ChannelPlus DA-8200-BID distro amplifier feeding the
video network from a central control panel. The "B" mod port is used for a
ChannelPlus 4 port modulator from the media room. I want to use the
ChannelPlus "A" mod port for the CCTV cameras.

Question: Is there a "box" into which I can feed the 4 camera leads, and
from which I can feed the ChannelPlus "A" port, so that I can view the CCTV
camera output on any display device on the network? Is a standard
multiplexer sufficient?

Good luck and good sailing.

A multiplexer is not required,a quad will do more then enough

multiplexer are good to do what they are called for,multiplexing video
signal,so you can record it on one tape or send it to one coax to a demux..

a quad will put all 4 cam in one image (all cam will take a 1/4 of the total
screen) or it can scroll between all the cam with an adjustable dwell time
(most are adjustable)

hope this will help

So if I connect 4 cameras to a quad splitter, than run the output through a
single-channel modulator to the ChannelPlus distro amp, that will work?

Is there a single box that will do this or is the above the simplest?

There is a better solution which will allow you to select
whichever camera you want to watch from any TV. ChannelPlus
makes some excellent 4-channel modulators.
