Camera placement & wires

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the information! And what manufacturers should I look at? There are some 'neutural' branded lights (solar and normal) available from a hardware store nearby, should I just try those?

Just got my first CNB VCM-24F in the mail.

I noticed this line in the manual: "Don't use UTP to power via 12V DC power source".

 

Why is that?

Never noticed that. Maybe they've had issues with people powering them using one pair over a long distance and calling in complaining that the cameras were dropping out, and figured it was just easier to say "don't do it at all"?

 

In any case, I have 26 of them on one recent site running 12V over UTP... no problems.
