ochrisl 0 Posted October 31, 2008 I would like to replace the PIR looking at my front entrance with a functional PIR cam like. I would like to drop the camera wire straight down into my basement to a pc that will record on motion or possibly on alarm. Is there a way i can run the camera on cat 5? I see they make some converters for this.Or should i just run regular siamese? Also what is a good software program for one cam that i could load on the computer for recording? Thanks in advance.

Soundy 1 Posted November 12, 2008 Yes, you could use Cat-5 with video baluns to run your signal - you can also run power over that wire. You'll need some sort of video-capture device to get the video into your PC, though, and many include the software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
