Multiple cameras on one pair

[stubbs 0]

I have seen and advert form a company in Hong Kong that allows multiple cameras to be sent down one wire pair. Does anyone have any information on it or UK suppliers.

 

Thanks

Or indeed a low cost fibre converter.

 

Basically I need 5-6 analogue cameras down one Cat5 or over 1 fibre.

 

Thanks

On the first post you said one wire pair, but a Cat5 is 4 pairs... Anyway, if you do have one Cat5 cable, I think that the easiest way would be to just install a DVR, and use the Cat5 cable for connecting it to the network.

If you are trying to use a single CAT5e cable to give you the video signal from several cameras you can connect up to 4 cameras to a single CAT5e cable, you have 4 pairs, use 1 pair for each camera.

 

You will need Baluns or a converter to convert from BNC to twisted pair.

 

If you want more cameras you need either a second CAT5e cable or a cable with more twisted pairs.
