Horizon, Thanks for the reply, but I don't really need to send the power through the video line. The plan is to use this with a wireless system so all I need to know is how to hook up power to the camera at the camera. By the way, it is a 28v, 3.5w camera. At this point, I am just seeing if this is possible to do. I have three of these cameras I gave 2 dollars for, so if I smoke them, I'm not worried. But I want to power them up before I buy a lens.

I know this is a double post, but I think it fits in this forum better than the other. Please feel free to delete the other post. Hello, I am new to the forum and to cctv. I picked up a couple of Pelco CC4730-UTC cameras for a couple bucks at a yard sale and have them in mind for a project. But before I can even begin to think about the project, I need to figure out how to power them. There is only a coax and an "RCA" video out plug on the back. From what little I can find on older Pelco cameras, this is an "Up-The-Coax" camera, which leads me to believe that the power is input to the camera through the coax. The project I need this for would be locally powered via batteries. So all I need to know is how to power the camera. Here is the back of the camera. Let me know what you think. Matt
