Are you planning to put the baluns on the coax cable? Because if you are this will not work, you would need a media converter and they are much more money.

 

As for Baluns Watchnet, Muxlab, Gem Electronics, NVT just to name a few.

That is fine, those will allow you to send the video over the existing coax, but you will still need to use a poe injector, those aren't going to do anything about power for you.

 

This is what you would need:

 

Camera > POE Injector > Media Converter

 

This will allow you to power a poe ip camera and send the video down a coax cable.

 

Why not just use the existing coax to pull cat5? Attach the CAT5 to the coax and pull.
