The DIN (Deutsches Institut fur Normung) connector was originally made in Germany and supports two-way audio transmissions. The DIN connector is portable because of its lightweight. It is also easy to connect and does not need a separate power source. This cable has a maximum transmission distance of up to 300 feet. This connector can join different devices to the camera or vice versa.
The RCA connector is often used for broadcast purposes, including direct use on analog devices, especially television sets. The Radio Corporation of America (RCA) was the first station to popularize the usage of this device. This connector is easy to identify from its colors. It has a yellow cable for video connectivity and red and either black or white cables for audio output. This connector allows you to record or view cameras directly on a wider screen.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) connectors are the most common camera connectors in use. This is because the connectors are usable in various devices. Most computers have USB slots. Downloading and uploading information stored in these cameras is simplified. USB connectors provide high speed connections and are available in different versions such as the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. USB connectors also come in different sizes inclusive of the micro and mini USB.
BNC (Bayonet Neill Concelman) connector is among the popular camera connectors in use. This connector transmits basic signals over coaxial cable. It is a radio frequency (RF) connector used on modern CCTVs. This connector is advantageous because it has a lock-in mechanism that prevents abrupt disconnection from data transmission. This connector has good wire quality allowing transmission of data over a long distance. BNC connectors ensure clear video transmission for digital cameras.
