Active vs. Passive Baluns

Recommended Posts

I am installing a new CCTV monitoring system and need to have a camera 2000 ft from the CCTV system. I believe I would need active baluns to transmit color video this distance. Or can I use an active and one passive

balun to make this work. I will be connecting to cat5e .

That's your choice.....depends on manufacturer as companies like NVT and Nitek make various models depending on distance and features.

 

Are you sending video only? or PTZ?

 

If sending PTZ data, you will need passive transmitters.
