whitemiket 0 Posted August 23, 2008 I have 2 active vision active baluns that I can't get to display the video from my everfocus ptz. I can get two active vision passive baluns to display the video (though not as crisp) so I know it's not the video wire, power to the ptz, or anything outside the balun. I am pretty sure it has to do with the grounding of the balun, which I have tried a few ways also. I get the power light to come on, but the video light comes on sporadically, mostly never. What is the proper way to wire an active balun? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sportmotor 0 Posted August 24, 2008 I believe your distance at least be 1.2km apart, could be theres a break in the cat5 cable. Maybe if you have spare pair you may want to try connect and see if the power source still Intermittent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whitemiket 0 Posted August 24, 2008 I don't believe there is anything wrong with the cat5, as I get a picture using passive baluns at 1000'. I believe it has something to do with the grounding, will it not pick up the video without proper grounding? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
