Hello,
I have a FIOS STB Cisco model CHS 355HDC.
If I were to some how combine the FIOS signal and my security cameras signal onto a single coax cable on one end, then somehow split the signal from the coax (on the other end) to the STB and the TV input on the TV, would this interfere with the FIOS signal?
I know this was possible with my old DirecTV setup using modulators, splitters and di-plexers. But since FIOS is all digital and my security cameras a analog. Would the STB simply ignore the analog signals if it were on the same coax?
If this is even possible, what parts would I need?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
It would really depend. Assuming that the CCTV used different frequencies (not very likely given that FIOS uses a wide range), then it would work.
It is going to depend upon what the output of the CCTV camera is. If it is simply composite video, it is likely to work. If it is modulated RF to a particular TV channel it is unlikely to work.
In simple terms Fios uses roughly 55-800Mhz for Television and 1000-1200Mhz is used for the Internet Services(MOCA). So as long as you stay well away from those it is likely to work.
. The 55-800Mhz range pretty much covers all analog Television channels, so modulated RF isn't likely to work.
Composite video will fit well below the 55Mhz (roughly 0-6Mhz). In fact on standard cable systems the space below 55Mhz is usually used for the internet uplink, so on FiOS that is vacant. The only issue with composite video is how well it will propogate through the splitters.
