Old CCTV systems?

Recommended Posts

Came across an old monitor and a box of cameras. Monitor and cameras have RJ modular jacks on 'em. The connectors on the cabling looks larger than RJ11, but smaller and RJ45. I'm assuming these are referred to as UTP systems? Can the pre-existing wiring be reused for IP cams or data connectivity?

Looks like this is an old post, but here's my 2 cents ....

 

Sounds like you have 3 pair wiring. If so, that won't work for I/P

You could use ethernet extenders however, using 1 pair, and transmit your I/P that way

Thanks for the response. Not an old post, just old system I encountered. An extender would be cost prohibitive; new cable run will be done.

Can you get a picture of that old CCTV system here. Because sometimes those CCTV systems may be helpful in building a new one on our own. Last year I was at my mothers place and was looking in the basement for some wires to install an AlarmCare personal alarm system there at Toronto and I came across something similar. I repaired that and it's now at my house. Works fine.
