PSA VM1201 12-Inch Black and White Security Video Monitor 75 Ohm BNC 120V
The PSA VM1201 is a 12-inch monochrome CRT security video monitor made by PSA Security Network (Integrated Security and Control Systems) of Westminster, Colorado. Designed for closed-circuit television (CCTV) and security surveillance applications, it accepts a composite video signal via BNC connectors and displays it on a black and white CRT screen. The rear panel provides switchable 75-ohm or high-impedance input termination, allowing the monitor to be looped through in a multi-monitor chain or used as a terminating display.

Applications
The VM1201 is a purpose-built CCTV security monitor from the early-to-mid 1990s, the era when analog composite video over coaxial cable was the universal standard for security camera installations. Monitors like this were used in banks, retail stores, building lobbies, parking structures, and industrial facilities as dedicated display heads in analog surveillance systems. The switchable 75-ohm/Hi impedance and BNC loop-through output made them easy to daisy-chain across multiple display stations from a single camera feed. While modern IP-based and HD-SDI systems have largely replaced analog CRT setups in new installations, these monitors are still sought by collectors, vintage broadcast/video engineers, and operators maintaining older analog CCTV infrastructure where a period-correct display is needed.
This PSA VM1201 12-inch Black and White Security Monitor is being sold as-is. The unit was pulled from a working environment but has a known defect: slight time code burn-in on the screen from extended previous use. This burn-in is visible on the display and should be considered before purchasing. No manual, cables, or peripherals are included. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before buying.
