How To Access Your IP Cameras From Linux or a Mac
tomcctv replied to TheUberOverLord's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
It's the licence that is given upgrade status. So yes it's still in place for backward compatibility And that is not piracy -
BNC dimensions different from RG59 cable.
tomcctv replied to jweaver's topic in General Digital Discussion
Experts in 50ohm not 75 were copper is best . You still have not said which format your cameras are Unlike you ham experts I have over 30 years and I would still look into cat5 First it's cheaper as you get 4 cameras down one cable plus a year or so you might want better once you have CCTV and cat5 runs all formats Sorry.. I should have said, its Hikvision and therefore TVI... First of all, I am not saying that copper is NOT best.. Of course it is, certainly better than CCA and CCS cables.. I am just saying that my 2 "expert" friends do not believe that this will be a problem for 7-15m runs (I have done some measurements and they are even shorter than I thought).. Their view is that at these sort of lenghts it won't matter.. I also do not doubt that CAT5 is better.. And in truth, I have more CAT5 than I know what to do with it (as I work in IP).. But the additional costs of baluns put me off. I just preferred COAX as it just feels stronger.. Since my DVR is in the airing cupboard, I just felt that it was easy to put strain on the cables and felt that a Coax and BNC felt better for my application.. But since all my cabling is in a loft space with 20mm holes into the eaves, I could so easily pull CAT5 through in a matter of minutes if I wanted too. So I am stuck with COAX now, even if I wanted to change, its too late as I can't get the CAT5 from work, and the cost of Baluns would be 2x the cost of COAX. With hindsight, I would have ordered some Baluns from China (Which cost £1 per pair (not sure if they are any good)) and would have done the whole thing in CAT5... But its too late for that now.. I am commited. Jon Hi you don't need to go China for £1 baluns ..... U.K. Is full of £1 baluns. By saying dvr I guess your installing analog system ..... So yes at that cable distance you should be fine. -

It depends on what CCTV format you are going ....... Use crap coax with tvi or cvi and you will have quality problems . City electrical factors have good coax But if you give your location -

BNC dimensions different from RG59 cable.
tomcctv replied to jweaver's topic in General Digital Discussion
Depends also on which camera format you are using . Which part of uk are you Copper would be best ..... If you can't get good rg59 look at cat5 cable My dilema now is that i yave the cable and i have te BNCs and need to start the install on Monday (as i have a week off to do it). I dont have anywhere locally to supply bew Coax and certainly not Baluns.. So i am pretty stuffed. Considering all my runs are less than 20m, is CCS really going to cause a problem? Jon -

Can you post a picture of your dvr setup screen -
Hi. You will always get confused if you don't understand or if your going to believe bad sales info. Everything above in RED is wrong. Transmission IS NOT restricted to 500m Analog matrix support ..... Why go back to rca/scart/BNC ........ VGA and HDMI is digital which is now on most new TVs and monitors.
