Help with coax installed Used to IP cameras (aplogies)

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Ive been asked by a client to replace an old analogue coax system with a more modern hik turbo 3.0 EXIR cameras.

I want to know can i use the cat5e cable (all ready in place) to power the camera as well as use the balun, or am i safer to install a new 0.5mm 2 core power cable to each camera?

If the Cat5E cable is good quality, you can use it for both video (one pair) and power (the 3 remaining pairs).

 

If it is not good enough or the runs are very long, you can use the alarm cable for power.
