Congrats!!! It's always fun opening boxes from UPS and seeing things you've purchased, I love it. As far as which ones to use for video it will not matter inside of the Cat-5 as long as you use the same ones the same way on each end.

The small white boxes are your power supplies am I rite? Why not a distributive power supply box?

Thanks,
John

Cat5 should not make a difference (hopefully you are using baluns or TX/RX's though).

They look very low end though, that would be my only concern, Sad

Have fun Smile

Rory I think ypu are right about low or budget. All camera's I have ordered that came in plain box's with no brand name they are just low priced camera's for the most part. Good luck I see IR's on your camera's most of these type camera's pull 1 amp power at 12 volts dc 100 foot on cat 5 is pushing the 24 guage wire for power. Also do not split pairs on twisted wire.
PAIR 1= White,Blue/Blue,White
PAIR 2= White,Orange/Orange,White
PAIR 3= White,Green/Green,White
PAIR 4= White,Brown/Brown,White

Something like that I was thinking.
But you can get a smaller one that functions just as that large box that takes up to a 4amp DC power supply or an AC power supply as well.

Either like the picture I posted or the one you posted. For a smaller application I really don't think you need anything to to large.


Thanks,
John

Altronix is only about $30 more than the OEM PSUs. Get individual fuses, etc, and a small box.

Otherwise he could just buy a 2amp Transformer from a local electronic store ($10) and splice all the cameras into that .. Very Happy

From experience though, its not a good idea to go cheap on the PSU.

I wasn't saying to pass up on getting the Altronix power supply I was just saying I didn't know his budget Smile

Buy cheap power supplies once and possibly end up buying cameras twice!
Shocked
