Can I connect my network PTZ camera to an HDMI monitor?

[Gibside]

Dear all, I have a PTZ camera that uses RJ45 cable to the router the output can be then be watched on my computer or phone + storage via 'The Cloud'.

My question: Is there away of installing a simple/straightforward box of tricks which is RJ45 in (from camera) and RJ45 out (to router) c/w an HDMI output so I can watch the live footage on a Monitor via the aforementioned HDMI output?

Sorry I am a Paramedic and not a specialist in this field! I would love to know of ideas kind regards Paul.

Unfortunately, it's trickier than you might imagine.
You need a gadget known as a decoder to take the IP stream and generate the HDMI output.

Decoders are fairly expensive

IP Network Video Servers & Encoders

Network video servers (or encoders) enable you to connect traditional analogue CCTV cameras to your network. Network video decoders enable you to get video from your network onto traditional analogue CCTV monitors.

So, it tends to be more cost-effective to use the App e.g. use a tablet that is running the App as a monitor.

Or, you can get gadgets that run Android and plug into your TV's HDMI input.

We used this one years ago:

Hopefully somebody can drop by with a modern recommended model that they have proven ...

Many thanks Phil - I have upgraded our main CCTV system using 8x 4K 8 MP cameras c/w a decent 8 channel DVR + Cat 8 cables - as my wife works in a in a very vulnerable job - a sad reminder of the times! I did have a look but thought someone like yourself could maybe point me in the right direction - again I appreciate your time yours Paul.
