Hi, Actually we were not doing a research we both wanted a working CCTV system that's functional & within budget (money & time) In my opinion, it's all about functionality in the real world. Why do we use MJPEG in the first place? Did you compare picture in a computer screen with the image in an analog monitor? In real life we need to compromise to get things done - specially if the effect is not relevant to the function. Peace

Hi, Just finished a small installation of 16 cameras some of them are over 100 meters away from the control room using UTP & baluns - passive not even active! The picture quality is v.good - I demonstrated both (coax & UTP) to the IT manager of the company & we compared the cost of both systems. We ended up deciding to go with the same type of CAT6 cables used in their IT network. The cost reduction came from using same technicians & cabling schedule for both IT & CCTV networks. The project was finished in half the time with almost same man-hour of the IT network installation. No one can see any problem with the image. No one ever complained about any type of interference from the escalators or the elevators. Now they are even ready for the IP upgrade after 2 years expansion plan. The client was very grateful for explaining everything to him & save him time & money. my .02 cents
