Dirk_D 0 Posted June 2, 2014 take a few lead fishing weights and put them in a large tablespoon, then take a BNC cable (or RCA), then what you say..... another RJ45. Melt the lead weights in the spoon and then (*important*), while still molten, shove the BNC/RJ45/RJ45 splitter into the molten lead. Blow on it a bit to cool, and then plug in your equipment to make sure everything works as expected. >>>>just kidding. If you go analog you'll need 1 pair for power, one pair for video, and one pair for the RS485 (ptz) data. Sounds like you have 7 conductors - give it a shot and let us know how it works. I'm just getting into POE, which it sounds like you're playing with, and I don't know the rules to that yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssnapier 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Ok, just to clarify things an RJ-45 is a connector that looks like this: The cable you are referring to is probably eitehr CAT-5, CAT-5E or CAT-6. You can read the stamped writing on the cable to determine that. The easiest way to use CAT5/6 wire with an analog camera is thru a pair of baluns which have a lot of different styles to them. Some provide power and some do not, you absolutely need one that does provide power. In general they will look something like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fullmonty 0 Posted June 2, 2014 That's great so would this work on any ptz I'm thinking about getting this one.

fullmonty 0 Posted June 7, 2014 So would this work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted June 7, 2014 That is not a "ip speed dome cam" like you said on the first post, it is an analog camera. It would work, but you would also need a DVR. You will not be connecting the camera to your router; but the camera to the DVR, and then the DVR to the router. When you watch the camera from your iPhone, you won't be connecting to the camera, but to the DVR. When you move the camera, you won't be sending commands to the camera, but to the DVR, which will then send them to the analog camera (through the RS485 interface).
