  1. Hi,

    a family member wants an existing camera replacing, but they would also like another camera adding to the same location...

    Im guessing due to the age of the previous one, its a BNC cable,

    Is there any way to add another camera and share the BNC cable some how?


  2. It's been fine for gigabit network

     

     

    gigabit networks on cheap cat5 ...... you should be at least cat5e or cat6

    It is cat5e, sorry! The standard now is cat5e so I just refer to it as cat5!


  3. Understood.

    I installed CCTV at work not long back, and used cat 5 and cheap baluns, this worked well.

    THe only problem i had was the psu and the dvr wernt that close, so i had a big mass of messy wire inbetween where i had to split the pairs in the cat5.

    WHats the way around this? Runinng 2 cat5?

    Also, ive seen some suggestions that power should be ran over 2 of the pairs, how and why would you do this?

     

    WIth regards to pricing, ive seen the shotgun cable (with power) for about £28+vat, where as i can get cat5 for £15, so yes it seems cheaper.

    THanks
