LucyB 0 Posted September 5, 2017 I doing an install on a 7 floor building and was expecting coax in the traveling cable for the elevator for a camera install but the elevator company said that they don't install coax or cat5 cables as they have seen them break after a few years. (even the ones with steel in them) They have handed me 5 X 20/2 AWG shielded wire I had hoped to do a IP camera and then a coax /POE injector for the camera http://www.veracityglobal.com/products/ethernet-over-coax-devices/highwire-powerstar.aspx but that looks like that might not be possible any ideas ? would a male BNC break out connector work ?

LucyB 0 Posted September 25, 2017 In the elevator penthouse we have a cat6 cable that runs back to a switch on the 7th floor. Camera and recorder are all up based . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LucyB 0 Posted September 26, 2017 The camera needs to be installed in the cab , there is a traveling cable that links the cab to the elevator penthouse on the roof. There is no EMT running to the cab as it moves up and down . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LucyB 0 Posted October 6, 2017 How does that work with POE camera ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted October 6, 2017 How does that work with POE camera ? POE camera can be powered from lift top via a injector. Which will take all of 20 mins to install. Going cable will take a day or so........ lift has to be out of commission while you work on new cables... then you have to have your cables tested Or easy way ..... lift tops usually have at least one socket on the top or install one and then your camera is just plug and play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomcctv 190 Posted October 6, 2017 Tried to have a 110 socket installed on top of cart but was not allowed by elevator company You can’t use a 3rd party to do any electrical work on a elevator Elevator company own elevator space .... there insurance there responsibility Ask them for a price for 110 feed on top of lift .... this is usually taken from elevator light circuit NOT a new feed install. Sounds like you have asked for a 110 feed to be added .... this would not be allowed or needed..... you use the existing power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
