Post subject: IR Outdoor Camera
|
Hi guys,
I was given an outdoor IR Camera, no brand name unfortunately.
My problem is this.
It's a hardwired camera, meaning no plug in connectors at the camera end, and the cable out of the camera is only about a metre long and no plugs on this end either. (looks like someone just cut it to remove it)
I've stripped back a section of the outer insulation, to find it has one shielded cable and one Red colored cable - I'm presuming this is the positive side power. But what is the negative? Can I use the shield stranded cable as a negative return for power by soldering a loop wire over from it, then soldering on video BNC and power plug.
Thanks in advance.

This is correct, the shield is the ground.
