    baluns overheating

    Thanks. it turned out to be a faulty camera.
  2. Hi first post so go easy on me ! im wondering why the Cat5 Balun on the dvr side is overheating to the point where the smell is noticeable pretty much straight away after power up. the other 3 channels are fine. it got so hot that it disfigured the casing of the balun. i tried a new balun and its also heating up, so i disconnected it straight away. ive tested the cable for shorts and its fine, no shorts across any cores of the cat5. its aslo a short run, about 25 feet. Anyone any ideas. could the camera cause this? any help is appreciated.
