Hi all - brand new to the forum. Was looking for some advice. I'm trying to clean up some shoddy work that was done on a CCTV setup. Looks like the original installer used cat5 cables for two cameras each. He wired it as follows:
8 wires on the cat 5 line
2 wires to bnc for camera 1 video feed
2 wires to bnc for camera 2 video feed
2 wires to dc power for camera 1 power
2 wires to dc power for camera 2 power
all wires are exposed and connected via electrical tape.
Multiply this by 48 cameras and it's an entire mess. See picture for an idea of what I'm dealing with.
So what's the best way to clean this up? I'm familiar with rj45 and know how to crimp those adapters, but not too familiar with bnc. I assume there's some sort of POE adapter / BNC male adapter that will clean this mess up? Any suggestions will help!
