Hello folks,
If I am correctly understanding what you are asking in that you wish to run the HDMI CCTV to your VGA only screens via a computer then you will need an appropriate HDMI to VGA converter device, a trip to your nearest Maplin outlet should get you sorted, please let us know if I am on the wrong track.

Additionally, a little more hardware info may help;

Can you post the brand and model name or number/s for the CCTV eqt, screens and the GPUs.

When you say CPU do you mean the processor or the computers motherboard.

Can`t find a user manual for your CCTV, did you not get one with the system.

I suspect that the problem you are having is because HDMI and VGA signals are not compatible, HDMI is digital only and so there is no Analog signal for the monitor to pick up then display, all is not lost though as you can get what are called Active Display Port adapters that convert the signal, some examples here + some reading for you here

gpu is... nvidea geforce gtx 960 also use intel hd graphics 4600 for other screen.

Unless your motherboard has Intel Hybrid display technology by default the onboard video ports are disabled by default when an add on video card is detected, easiest way of knowing this would be if you have previously had multiple displays connected to the GTX 960 and the video ports on the MB and you had video on each screen attached.
