Product Description
A BNC female to RCA male adapter lets you join RCA-terminated leads to BNC coaxial connections, which is the usual fix when a camera, DVR or monitor doesn't match your cable's connector type.
What it's for
CCTV kit is inconsistent about connectors — some cameras and DVRs use BNC, some AV gear uses RCA. This adapter bridges the two so you don't have to re-terminate cable or buy a new lead.
Signal support
It carries analogue composite video, including standard analogue, HD-TVI, AHD and CVI signals, provided the rest of your coaxial run (cable, connectors, DVR) supports the same format. The adapter itself doesn't convert between formats — it just passes the signal through.
Cable compatibility
Works with RG59 and RG6 coaxial cable, the two types most commonly run in UK CCTV installs.
Build
Metal body for a secure electrical connection and stable signal, in a compact inline shape that fits easily into a rack, junction box or behind a monitor without adding bulk.
Before you buy
Check whether your camera or DVR output is BNC or RCA, and confirm the rest of your run uses RG59 or RG6 — mixing coax types on the same line can affect signal quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this adapter actually do?
It converts an RCA connection to a standard BNC coaxial connection, so you can link RCA-terminated equipment to BNC-fitted cameras, DVRs or monitors.
Will it work with HD-TVI, AHD or CVI systems?
Yes, it supports these formats as well as traditional analogue video, as long as the rest of your coaxial cabling is compatible.
Which coaxial cable types is it suitable for?
It's designed for use with RG59 and RG6 coaxial cable, the standard types used in CCTV installations.
Does the adapter improve or change the video signal?
No, it's a passive connector adapter — it passes the analogue video signal through rather than altering or boosting it.
