Using CAT5 Cable to Connect Analog Video/Audio Surveillance
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 бер 2014
- Normally, analog video and analog surveillance equipment is connected using a coax or siamese coax/power cable, which can be relatively expensive and difficult to work with. In this video, I show how to use a couple of adapters to accomplish the same task with CAT5 cable.

Love this guy! Great video thank you!! I picked up a few audio surveillance mics. Looking at running 200’-300’ and didn’t want to buy all new 3-in-one cables.
Hi i watch your video and just had a quick question!
4 pairs of cable
1 pair = for camera video signal
1 pair = for pass through microphone
1 pair = for power supply to camera and pass through mic
1 pair spare for if power supply needs to be doubled up to allow for voltage drop over really long distance!!
Thanks for your time and informative vid
Nice informative video. But I wish you would've added part numbers and a link in the description to where I can buy these exact pieces.
well camera has 4 basic wires coming out of back 2 blk one red one white and my cable connection to power and camera has 2 blk 2red one yellow basic con
great video
Sorry I'm new here. May i know why don't use 2 pairs for power cable and 2 pairs for data? 2 pairs for power get stable power? 2 pairs for data get better stronger signal? please help advise. thanks.
Hummmm... I too am having problems locating that SPIFFY 3.5mm Male to CAT5?? Does it have a special name?
It's called a balun.
Hey Nick can u solve a problem for me plz ?
hey, can i have the name of the connector that you used for cat5 -> video audio and cat5 -> power.. how they are called? where can i find it?
It looks like they are called "baluns"
How many amps can you put through the conductors?
cat5 individual conductors are 24 awg and can handle 3.5 amps each. Plenty safe even when you run big PTZ cameras with all the bells and whistles ! But if you want faster data over long runs (over 200 to 300 feet) and don't want to max it out on 24 awg cat5, then run cat 6 :)
If your IR switch on the power draw is to much for cat5 to handle will work fin in the day at night it will need mor power and the draw on cable will make you have camera noise on the cam and no IR ( infra red )
YES ~ so if this is a concern for you, use ORANGE AND BLUE (twisted together) for + (voltage POSITIVE) and ORANGE/White and BLUE/White (twisted together) to - ( voltage NEGATIVE). Enjoy!
Is there a particular reason you suggest those pairs? Would it be fine to use the matching colored pairs for positive, and other matching colored pairs for negative?
@@chadf4i Wh/Wh-Blue is pair 1. Wh/Wh-Orange is pair 2. Wh/Wh-Green is pair 3. Wh/Wh-Brown is pair 4. The twist of each pair in a CAT5 cable is a calibrated twist per inch resulting in each conductor of a single pair being at a constant 90 degree angle with its mate throughout the entire length of the cable. This constant 90 degree angle is essential for high speed data transfer because it provides for cancellation of induction over long distances especially in an unshielded cable. In this example however, the video transmission is an analog signal, not digital, thus twist is not nearly as relevant when we are talking about just a few hundred feet. I would still recommend utilizing a single twisted pair for the video feed just to give it the best potential for clean transmission anyway. Regarding the power, twist is 100% irrelevant and you need to be more concerned with voltage drop over long distances, not induction interference, because it is only 24 gauge wire. There is an easy fix to voltage drop problems...just strip the plastic coating off of the wires and twist single pairs together and use a whole pair as 1 conductor. This essentially reduces resistance per foot because you are increasing the thickness of the power wire. Still not thick enough? Twist 3 conductors together per side. This might become helpful information when the IR kicks on at night an draws more amperage over the power wire.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
can cat5 and cat6 give power to an ip camera?
if your IP camera supports POE (Power Over ethernet) then you can send power through Cat5/6 provided you using the correct power. Most IP cameras use 48VDC POE,
hyperion work ...??? Does that name have anything to do with >>> hyperianism , ontological mathematics & sinusoidal waves the future science
incorrect...
