Installer used cat 5e for ptz camera

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

After a couple years of sitting, I finally decided to try and set up the home security camera. Everything is working expect the control for PTZ cameras (video and power are working).

 

The installer used cat5e for the control wires. I assumed he used some of the cat 5 wires at the camera end. I do not know which wires he used. (blue/blueW Orange/OrangeW Brown/BrowW Green/GreenW)

 

How should I go about determining which wires he used? I can just unhook the camera from the mount and look..however it is very high and would need a big ladder. Is there a set standard?

 

Thanks for your help.

look at the source for the PTZ control - the colour of wires from the controller should then be used at the camera end- only sure way to know will be to get up the ladder and look. data+ at controller should go to data+ at camera, or DATA- A to DATA- A, SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE LABELLED DIFFERENTLY.
