hardwired 0 Posted November 1, 2011 Who still uses twist-on BNCs? I'm still waiting for twist-on RJ45 plugs..... **********Edit********* Yeah, I know, technically, they should be referred to as "twist-on 8P8C modular connectors", but everyone calls them RJ45's! wish there was something as simple as twist on but what has become a simple design change to standard rj45 is the srip after crimp. never waste a rj45 again with the likes of legs to short I've had trouble with those crimping the pins in completely, I've gone back to my standard plugs and Ideal crimpers - BTW, did anyone notice what's wrong in that picture?

hardwired 0 Posted November 1, 2011 For someone that never used this stuff you sure to think you know a lot about it. I thought I made myself clear, I dont use overpriced crap. So yeah I never used "this stuff". But to be fair, I have used crap like CNB, just not overpriced crap. The Avigilon 4 channel encoder, ENC-4P-H264, does D1, 30FPS per channel with audio, for less than the cost of a Geovision card with the same specs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thewireguys 3 Posted November 1, 2011 I've had trouble with those crimping the pins in completely, I've gone back to my standard plugs and Ideal crimpers - BTW, did anyone notice what's wrong in that picture? I have uses thousands of those connectors and the only time I have issues is with when the blade in crimping tool gets dull. What standard are they using?

bike_rider 0 Posted November 4, 2011 Only problem is, the Avigilon encoder isn't compatible with twist-on BNCs... *ducking* OK, I'll bite. How can an encoder not be compatible with twist-on BNCs? Yeah, that's right I used them in my house and so far (5 years on) I've had no problems with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sawbones 0 Posted November 5, 2011 Sh*t... I like (and use) twist-on BNCs Haven't had one fail yet (of course, they're all in dry areas... I'd never use one for a wet location) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Numb-nuts 1 Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) This is a fascinating thread! Hard to follow when you have no experience of POe, but nevertheless quite fascinating. So would you avoid POe when a camera needs weather protection in a colder climate like the UK, where a heater (and Fan) is essential to keep the housing from fogging up at the very least. If you did have to run a heater, would you choose another camera with independent PSU for outdoors or could you use POe camera without too much extra work? Perhaps a higher rated POe switch for outdoor application? What voltage requiremant do these cameras have is it the usual 12v DC or 24 v AC or higher? I read something about 54 V but wasn't clear on the point made. Can someone diagram how this works please or point me to a page that shows the setup? Thanks so much.

tomcctv 187 Posted November 8, 2011 never had a problem installing IP into a housing. IP cameras do generate a little more heat than a standard camera so may not need extra heating. connection with injector connection with POE switcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
