mighty12 0 Posted May 18, 2010 hello im just newbie in this field i just wanna ask what kind of cables required to run a 16chanel camera with a 100 meters distance from its dvr.. tnx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted May 18, 2010 100m is nothing extreme - RG59 for video, 18/2 for power... or one run of Cat5e with baluns, use one pair for video and the other three for power. Bing, bang, boom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mighty12 0 Posted May 18, 2010 can i also join the audio on the cat5e cable, would it not cause some interference to the video or vise versa....?. thanks for the reply.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted May 18, 2010 You could, with the appropriate balun, but only two pairs would be left for power - at 12VDC that would be marginal, especially if these cameras have IR LEDs built-in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mighty12 0 Posted May 18, 2010 what kind of balun would be appropriate for this application? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mighty12 0 Posted May 18, 2010 just a follow up question do i also need to put a balun for the audio? is there a rg59 that has wires for audio video and power that could run this long. thnx very much for the help.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted May 18, 2010 RG 59 Siamese has video (RG59) and power (18/2). Audio you can run telephone cable if you want. (eg. standard 2 pair alarm wire) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
