I am planning to install a 4 channel poe switch with 4 cameras ip 3 MP and 3 of them are 300 feet away from the poe switch, I know the transmition limitation using CAT5 OR CAT6 which is 100 metter= 328 ft in date but i dont know about the limitation of the power using a regular PoE switch.. please help!!! should I buy a PoE switch with high Amperage?? Thank you guys

here is the design I am using 3 ehn 200 enginius antenas and each antennas will have a 8 poe switch with 5 3mp cameras attached to it, and 1 EHN210EXT antennas as receiver, I know you can configure up to 5 ehn200 with out problem using 2.4 mhz up to a mile away, my question is : how do I measure the bandwith ? no software is build in enginuis to measure they said 300mbp but who knows AM I over loading the EHN200? the distance is one enh200 300 feet and the other one is 800 feet away ANY SUGGESTION? have anybody have push the bandwith the limits on enginuis antennas Thank you very much for you rtime

I have done CCTV the last 7 years, last years my low voltage license expired, it was some finantial issues that I am still dealing with, so 2 week ago I did a job to a customer, the total amount was 6000 dollar for 24 cameras installation including the camera and DVR 960h resolution, so customer never show up when we did the installation, all cableswe running outside thewall, becasue the office has a second floor and no attic, so I tied up the very professional to the corner where ceiling and wall end/start, after we finish the job, cameras look beautiful, remote conection works perfect, everything work great , customer is complainin very seriously about how it looks like, becasue it doesnt loo perfect, i explained about the building limitation and there were nothing we could do about it, anyways.. customer after playing with my time for probably one week and make me do free job for her like installin remote tv and runing extra cable she hit the point where sheis trying to use any excuse to no to pay me, and she want me to show my license, she said if my license is expirer she wont pay me... i think she already did some research and will use as excuse... any help from you guys? Thank you, she totally took advantage of my kindness

I purchased the cat5 from a local vendor that I use to buy from, dont get me wrong I hate working with balun, but I usedn 4 cables cat5 run to install 8 out the 20 cameras, I have done before without any problem, I was just trying to take advantage of cat5 running one cable to just one location with 2 cameras ........The balun are passive so 2 pair in data balun and 2 pair for power with a power male connector so running cat5 (4 pair) give me an option to run 2 cameras with just one cable run siemesse cable rg59 was not an option due to the thickness of it.

Guys, I just made an installation 24 cameras with a regular analog stand alone dvr we ran cat5 to multiple locations, runs are not longer than 100feet away from dvr, I am using cheap passive balun in both end, when i pluged in the cameras at the dvr, some cameras has a very nasty static issues, so cable are ran outside the wall, so there is no high tension cables or light around. Also some cable has that issue and some doesn't on the same run, when i move connector sometime i can remove the issue sometime no how can I solve this situation? what I have done: 1.- i switched DVR and i had the same issue 2.- where the DVR is located there is not any high voltage cable around I am thinking to change the stupid cheap balun, is that the right option to go? please any advice will be very helpful Thank you for your times guys!!

I have a Dahua DVR 4 port D1 and I had 2 cameras ptz, so I was able to move them and control PTZ cameras individually every time, so I added a new PTZ same brand same specification so now when I move the new PTZ one of the other PTZ moves too at the same time. on the back of the dvr I have hook up in the same rs-XXXX port all 3, like I said when I had 2 everything was working perfect now I added a new one and 1 work independently but the other 2 don't PLease CCTV genius Help!! Thank in advance you guys are master in this!!

I have a project where 3 cameras are going to be installed around 1000 feet away, i did a research and i found this product: http://www.ethernetextender.com/ethernet-extension-products/ethernet-extension-kits/868Pro.php It is a POE runing just one cable and having 2 POE at the end and by request they can make all POE max 6 Watt per port, so the problem that I have is my IP cameras 2 MP are 12vdc and 1.5A (18Watt), so the guy at the company told me that most cameras 2MP with 30 LED dont need 12 vol either 1.5 A, and he said most of the cameras under that configuration work fine with 6 Watt, well I dont know what to believe, the cameras that I am using are 802.3af POE here are the cameras spec. http://www.ltsecurityinc.com/en_us/product/1013.html Also I tried at home with a cameras with the same specification and a power supply 500mA and 12 Volt and it work fine..... so I am confusing about meeting the minimum requirement... any advise? any experience you guys can provide? Thank you for your time

I use a lot of Ubiquiti gear for this type of project, the Nanostation series equipment will run you less than $200 USD for a complete link (2 units). The 5GHz product (NanostationM5) tends to be more reliable, due to more channel choices, and less other equipment running in that band. So How many ubitity nano station you can have in the same network? ihave a project Community complex and they want cameras all around and no way to run cable underground, I was thinking about using nanostation but i am thinking about 8 cameras using nanostation.. so is there is any limitation about amount of nanostation in the same network?

Answewring u question: Camera manufacturing vivotek Nvr might be vivotek software or milestone or standalone nvr that I already installed with this cameras and work fine...... What I am thinking to do I to buy 4 cameras and installed at the pole with anntenas and see how they work , I will test them out for couple days, if I have problem with video or loww resolution or cameras loosing conection ,I will infor the customer and I will send another proposal inncluding. Fiber and trench.... I hope this wireless u r talking about work fine.... Btw thank u very very very much for u time I hope this

Good to heard tnat, so u r a pro in this wireless, thx for u feedback, what brand do u recomend for this type of project? I really appreciate u feedback

I am trying to save around 8 thousand in trench, cable and confuit to the customer using wirless technology, I think based in the amount it isn't bad just to try, I spoke with the engineer at engenous and they told me that the ENH500 is design for what I am trying to do, also I know about ip address and network and techsupport told me that it is very straig forward.... Sound like everybody has done this job with fiber and no body has done it wireless..... r people afraid to try wireless technology? Tech support told me, we won't sale a product who isn't working with u product.. Here is the link http://www.engeniustech.com/business-networking/outdoor-access-points-client-bridges/9340-enh500-

I didn't understand u reply, I am trying to do it wireless with anntennas

There is powerWhere cameras r going to be located, so no need trench for power sofar, I will try first and test and I will let u know, I know fiber is the good option, but bidget is limitated..... Thank u for advise, I will test the wirless and see whathappen before installation

I appreciate u feedback, but I am avoid fiber because: 1,- no idea about fiber and I can't learn with this customer 2,,- no BUDGET, 3.- just open the trench over asphalt, company is charging me 4 dollar per feet and there are 1500 feet Thank u for u help... but I am asking about whireless ENH500 antenna and evaluate that solution even if it isn't the perfect one

no. ip cameras can send video anywhere in the world... but you need to build the network properly. *ethernet* is limited to 100m (approx 328') per segment. fiber is probably your best bet in this case; wireless won't give nearly enough bandwidth and will be highly unreliable unless you have unobstructed line-of-sight. remember that the camera isn't "sending video" as such; it's encoding the video into network data. anywhere you can send the data, you can send the video. it can go over 3g (cellular), over the internet, over fiber, using dsl, etc. but fourteen 2mp cameras will potentially generate a *lot* of data, so the network connecting them to the dvr has to be able to handle that traffic. what about if I am planing to install 7 2MP ip cameras using ENH200 bridge access point?, the area is a parking lot so no trees, no building in the middle, the longest run is 900 feet away from router, so planing to have 2 ENH200 per camera so one for receiver and one for transmitter. Have you guys done something like that before? Do you think cameras wont have any delay in speed and resolution? Do i have to use any specific router for this? how stable is this solution? Thank you
