ok i have ground loop on some cameras, the exterior wall of the store has stucko and sheet metal, you think this will cause the ground loop? and why is it when i only touch one of the power ends to the power box the camera turns on??

yeah your right i gotta stop being cheap, its a bad habit that i need to stop

Also what about that weird problem when you just touch one cable to the box's terminal l i believe it was a positive and the camera turns on?? without connecting the negative??! or vice versa.. just one cable turns on the camera??

i dont care about the cable its all the labor! it took over 20 hours to run those cables how about these baluns ?

i hope i dont have to rerun those cables that would be hell

ok, i installed 32 cameras on 2 16ch AHD dvrs using cat5 and using baluns on each ends , and using 2 16ch power supply boxes.. used 1 twisted pair for neg power and 1 pair for postitive and 1 pair for video pos and 1 pair for neg video.. turned on everything and only got like 5 cameras lol and they were all garbled picture.. so i took out all the power cables from the box and did one by one , now i got 10 cameras working but seems like theres horizontal lines and a little shaking.. if i touch some of the cables that are behind the dvr many cameras get worse or better? and 3 of those cameras are on a seperate 2amp power supply, because if i put one of them back to the box all the cameras go crazy?? and some cameras as soon as i touch the postitive, the camera turns on? without the negative? wierd issues.. i think theres a negative/ground issues? i checked all the cables from both ends and all are good? Also is it true it maybe im using a pair for each connection of power when 1 wire should be used? im confused and going crazy
