Hi,
We install cctv systems using CAT5e (Full Copper) and we use the standard power and video baluns.
We use 1 cable per camera. Blue and Blue White for the Video and the rest for the power.
We normally use a 12V 6A for up to 4 cameras.
We always install infrared dome cameras
We never have an issues with power on run up to over over 150m.
We want to try using less cables. So we want to use 1 cat5e cable for two cameras. Use 1 pair for video and 1 pair for power. This leaves us with two pairs for another camera.
This has worked fine but can any tell me:
"what the maximum cable length can be" using 12V only using on 1 pair of wires instead of the 3 pair of wires
Thanks
Phil
