si_kungs 0 Posted May 15, 2008 two camera will be mounted on one side of the equipment and the monitor will be on the moving cabin above. what cables do i need to use? is using a single coax for power and cable advisable( using capacitor to block AC signal for camera and use inductor to block DC signal from power supply?

survtech 0 Posted May 16, 2008 I would suggest powering the cameras separately from the video to the cab. Then the only cables that will flex as the cab moves would be the video. Use stranded RG-59 or equivalent for the video and make certain the cables are run properly. Alternatively, you could use any spare "pairs" in the control and communication cables for the cab with baluns at each end. Be careful if there are power cables in the same bunch.

CollinR 0 Posted May 16, 2008 You know some wireless might be worthwhile, as you could have inexpensive laptops in the cabs. Just run IP cams and put an bridge on each machine. Then the boss man can also watch from the office assuming they stay in basically the same areas all day. Otherwise I'm with survtech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
