    the other problem is you are doing this for a customer. the samsung has camera power also built in if you make just 1 bad guess at the connection type you will pop there DVR.

     

     

    it is much easier to convert the samsung cameras to BNC than it is to add them to a RJ system.

     

     

    Believe me, I explained it to the customer, who installed the previous system himself. It is his belief that 8 pin connectors are simply two more than the previous one, and that nothing really has changed.

     

    I have no knowledge of samsung systems, so I really couldn't refute his theory. At the same time, I don't want to buy him a replacement DVR because I was right, but trying to make it work like he wants.

     

    I did put an email into Samsung from their website, but I don't hold much hope of a response.

     

    I wouldn't be here if I could run coax... LOL In fact, he bought a LOT of premade cables he wants me to use. I have a crimp frame and a box of plugs, but he doesn't want anything custom cut to length.

     

    I dunno. I just had hopes with the world wide interwebs, someone else had already been through this.

    Well...

     

    Here are what I think the pinouts are.

     

     

    This is the one for the cameras (I think):

    Kinda straightforward to me.

     

     

    Here is the DVR pinout directly from the manual:

    I notice it has two 12v pins, and a seperate ground for everything.

     

    So, what you're saying is if I pick up the CVBS+ pin for video, a 12v pin for power, and the nonaudio ground, it might work? Being on the wrong, or crossed ground won't burn up an opamp or whatever they're using, right? Maybe I need to tie the 12v ground and CBVS- together, but then I am worried about loops...

     

    Far as the DVR, he's already bought it. It came with 8 cameras and a 1T drive for only a couple hundred more than the one you suggested.

     

    So, even though this is using a RJ45 plug, it's not IP, it's actually just a proprietary connector scheme, right?

     

    Thanks again,

    Hi!

     

     

    I have no experience with the Samsung line, and very little IP.

     

    Client wants to upgrade to a SDE-5002 16 channel DVR(already purchased and sitting on the desk, so no choice there), but he wants to integrate the existing Samsung cameras (1 SOD14DC, 1 SSC21DC, 2 SSC-21C's, and 2 SOD-14C's).

     

    It appears the newer system uses an internal balun. The older cameras only look like they have three wires in them (getting ready to crack one open now).

     

    Is there a simple solution here? Can I just adapt from RJ12 to 45, or is there no balun setup in the older cameras?

     

    Thanks in advance,

     

    Shawn
