mateck8888 0 Posted January 3, 2014 I have a jobsite that has a 175 foot run to a PTZ camera. I'm wondering if I could get by with Cat5e, as I already have that in an outdoor rated cable. If I have to use traditional communication cable, I would have to buy a 500' roll of expensive outdoor rated cable. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

cctvmann 0 Posted January 3, 2014 use baluns for the video transmission and use a separate power feed local mains to PSU as its less volt drop on the low volt side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
