I would like to ask help with regards to CCTV Setup

[cygee26 0]

I've been browsing the Web for few days and i can't seem to find an answer or i don't know what I am looking for.

 

 

Setup I'm trying to make is

 

Analog Camera(4 outdoor/ 8 indoor) + Balun Video/Audio/Power transmitter

<>

Balun Video/Audio Power Transceiver + DVR (16 Channels)

 

 

my problem is that. how can i connect it to the CENTRAL Power System?

 

i was advise to use Coaxial RG59 but my UTP cable CAT5e/CAT6 are already in place and pull out of cables will be costly and hassle for me.

 

hope someone will reponse ASAP

What baluns are you using? Exact make and model, and/or photos, would be helpful.

I might be using either of the 2.

So, if you want to use one central power supply, you can just snip the wires with the barrel plugs off the transformers, and wire them into the outputs on the power can (be sure to check polarity!).

 

One word of warning: using baluns along with a central power supply with a common ground rail, can potentially lead to ground-loop issues, unless the baluns are designed to prevent that, or you're using cameras with their own internal voltage regulator (such as most dual-power cameras).
