jhill 0 Posted May 13, 2012 I own a restaurant 800sqft. This is for indoor use. I have decided to get: 4 x CNB dbm-24vf cameras 1 x Q-SEE DVR Now what cables do I need to power these cams and connect them to the DVR? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted May 13, 2012 They're dual-voltage cameras so you're pretty flexible in terms of powering them... I'd probably go with something like this at the head end: http://www.easterncctv.com/accessories/ev04p-vps.htm Then one of these at each camera: http://www.easterncctv.com/accessories/ev01p-vp-t.htm Wire it all up with Cat5e and you're good to go.

jhill 0 Posted May 14, 2012 On some of the "kit" systems I see they usually come with 4 x 100ft Siamese power video cables and 4 x 12V power supplies. What is the diff between the products you posted vs the power video cables and power supplies? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soundy 1 Posted May 14, 2012 Besides the fact you're probably paying for a couple hundred feet of cable you won't actually use... the cables bundled with the "package" systems tend to be pretty low-grade, as are the power supplies (off-the-shelf wall-wart adapters). The power/balun unit I listed not only helps keep everything tidy, it has overload protection on individual channels. Also, pre-wiring with Cat5e allows for easy upgrade to IP cameras later, should you decide to go that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
