Old house has cctv coax cameras, how can I use them?

[Madsen]

Hi guys, as the title says, i am the proud owner of a old house, and on the outside there is 3 old dome cameras.

i believe that the building originally was a industrial building, and the cameras are no longer connected to anything. but kept as a "passive" security measure

i think it would be interesting to get them working again. the cameras has the logo CNB (VANDAL RESISTANT DOME) printed on it. i have also found a cabinet where there is 4 coax cables stinking out with no head on

is there any chance this would be possible to do?, and how would i proceed?

To be honest, It's very likely a lot more effort than it's worth

The dome cover on the camera in the photo is in a poor condition, and unless you replace that you'll see pretty poor images (especially at night with internal IR LEDS).
The cables have been chopped short - they will be a pain to re-terminate and extend.
Each camera will need a suitable power supply.
You'll need to purchase a DVR to be able to connect and record from them.
At they very least you'd have to purchase a CCTV monitor to see the video from the cameras.

That dome has seen better days. As above - if you want cameras - probably better off getting a fresh setup.
