Security cameras over cat7 network

[yanuka 0]

Hi,

 

I would like to install 4 outdoor security cameras . I'm looking for the best solution in terms of cost/effective.

I already have 4 cat7 ethernet cables installed inside my walls .

My questions :

1. Is there any IP cameras with POE ( Power over ethernet) in reasonable prices ( 100-150 $ ) ?

 

2. Please see the IP camera on the following link ( not POE camera) :

What is the best way to connect this camera to my cat7 network ? how do I connect the power my ethernet cable ?

I know that for normal cctv cameras ( not IP ) , I can attach a BALUN , like this one :

Thanks a lot

I'm a bit confused why you're so keen for Cost effective camera's when you've run cat 7!

 

there may be camera's that are that cheap and do PoE but I'd not want to touch them (maybe hunt for a Dahua, I believe there are some on special for $165 at the moment, do a forum search)

you can also run a 12V PoE injector over short distances if you get stuck on that one.

get a POE switch PI MFG among others has them for under 100.00 for the 4 port version. I have used had problems with Trendnet but netgears seem to be fine also.

Thanks,

Can you recommend on a good ( but not very expensive) IP POE camera ?

Depends on what you're after honestly the Dahua are not bad, they don't quite tick all my boxes so I'm playing with this thing:

so far it works very well with Milestone (Onvif) and the picture is quite good the only issue is I have is the night vision appears to be getting feedback, I think I've found the issue but until I can confirm it'd I'd be worried about it's night vision capabilities
