I have a security camera that uses a VGA cable and I want to connect it a VGA PC monitor plug.

Is there such a cable, or VGA box, that allows for RCA video > VGA PC Monitor or converts the signal?

Thank you.

Answer
What you want is called a "video scaler" and they are not cheap. What they do is upconvert video to VGA:

It may end up being cheaper to buy a video monitor. Small flat screens with video input are getting much cheaper:

How can I connect both a security camera and the satellite dish to my TV ?

So I have this ordinary security camera that connects via BNC (antenna / coaxial cable) to a TV and the TV just tunes to the camera frequency like it would to a regular channel - I tuned the camera on channel 0 for quick access. Sounds simple so far, I have good image quality from the camera, but then I ran into a big problem : I also need to watch my regular TV channels on that TV while the camera is connected, so this is my question : how do I connect both the camera input and the satellite dish to the TV at once ? I know you'll right away suggest a switch box, but that's not what I'm looking for, because that means getting up and manually switching the box every time I want to alternate between the camera and the satellite. Something like a signal merger, or anything that would take 2 sources and output them into one, so I could tune in both the camera and the channels with the ease of my remote, without having to flick a switch. Does such thing even exist at a reasonable price ? In shorts : 2 signal sources, same TV, can it be done ?

Same opinion as classics, but if you want to see both images at once you need a picture in picture, PIP TV...
