captainvideo 0 Posted October 12, 2014 Im installing an 8 channel hd-cvi system next week and the customer wants 1 camera on the back of a detached garage approximately 25' away from the residence . there is no way to go underground because of a large cement patio between the house and garage . aerial is not an option . electric is direct buried under the patio . so my question is , is it possible to send the hd-cvi camera output signal wirelessly from the garage to the house and then hardwire to the dvr ? if not , is this possible with hd-sdi ? the only wireless experience I have is connecting my laptop to wifi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samir 0 Posted October 16, 2014 I'm assuming that this is an IP camera system, so luckily you actually just have an ethernet extension problem. If power to the garage terminates in the home, there's a good change that ethernet powerline adapters will work. If there's a wire of some sort between the home and the garage that you can have access to (phone line, etc), then you can use netsys-direct products to extend ethernet that way. If there's a coax cable, you could extend ethernet that way. And finally, there is wireless. You could set up an outdoor access point and lock it down so that only that camera can access it, but wireless is always the most finacky. I'd use any of the previous solutions first. Good luck!

captainvideo 0 Posted October 17, 2014 so my question is , is it possible to send the hd-cvi camera output signal wirelessly from the garage to the house and then hardwire to the dvr ? if not , is this possible with hd-sdi ? the only wireless experience I have is connecting my laptop to wifi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ak357 0 Posted October 17, 2014 so my question is , is it possible to send the hd-cvi camera output signal wirelessly from the garage to the house and then hardwire to the dvr ? if not , is this possible with hd-sdi ? the only wireless experience I have is connecting my laptop to wifi I would say NO What I know so far HD-CVI signal is very different compare with NTSC so current TR and RX most likely will not work properly with HD-CVI camera Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainvideo 0 Posted October 17, 2014 thanks ak357 ! does anyone know if it is possible to take an hd-sdi camera's output signal and send it wirelessly then hardwire it to the dvr ? ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ak357 0 Posted October 17, 2014 thanks ak357 ! does anyone know if it is possible to take an hd-sdi camera's output signal and send it wirelessly then hardwire it to the dvr ? ? No again or I should say not worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted October 17, 2014 thanks ak357 ! does anyone know if it is possible to take an hd-sdi camera's output signal and send it wirelessly then hardwire it to the dvr ? ? Yes you can... but it will cost 20X+ what your HD-SDI system cost EVf6XiQY_d8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainvideo 0 Posted October 17, 2014 thank you very much ! there is a telephone wire going to the garage and of coarse the yellow/black pair is spare . I wonder how the hd-cvi signal will hold up over 50' of standard iw and balun's . I know cvi is best with solid core rg59 or 6 . maybe sdi will hold up better ?

I know HD-CVI will work with baluns but not to sure how it will work short distance over tel wire ( not twisted) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neutech 0 Posted October 17, 2014 HD CVI claims to be able to operate up to 250m on CAT5 and passive Balun, only way to find out is to test it, failing that where does the Electric cable or Telephone Cable come in from garage? No ducting? Not possible for wireless on either unless as shown above you got 25k to add to budget Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainvideo 0 Posted October 17, 2014 the electric and tel iw are direct buried under cement . no conduit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your hd-cvi/sdi is really just running over ethernet, then the netsys-direct boxes are your solution. You'd have a solid connection over which to run your camera.

Which product from "netsys-direct" u suggesting will handle HD-CVI ? I was mistaken. I thought HDCVI would still be a digital IP technology. In order to use that twisted pair telephone wire, you will need something that can convert and run video over that wire. I've done some quick searches and it seems like there should be a product out there, but it may be a bit of a needle in a haystack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milkisbad 0 Posted October 18, 2014 Best alternative is get hybrid HD CVI system (if they make one) that can do 1-2 ch IP+ 8ch CVI. then use IP camera on the garage with wireless radios like those from ubiquilti . HD TVI has those kinds of hybrid system not sure about CVI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captainvideo 0 Posted October 18, 2014 great idea milkisbad " title="Applause" /> . dahua has cvi hybrids (hvr or tri-brid dvr)available at my local supply house . but they only have 16 channel . cost more than double the original 8 ch. dvr . customer may not like that . dahua makes an 8 and a 4 ch. tri-brid too . just not available at my supply house yet . they do have ubiquiti products too but some of the posts I read here say ubiquiti products are garbage . not sure if it was all products or some isolated few .

Ninety 0 Posted November 9, 2014 There is a Tribrid CVI system that will do IP,CVI, Analog.. but it's a little pricy..around about 900 for an 8 ch. Why can't you do aerial? Is it out of the question? All utilities are underground? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adkcctv 0 Posted December 25, 2014 Yes Dahua makes a hybrid. You can use cat5 with video baluns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
