12VDC or 24VAC ?

Recommended Posts

Having 4 Speco Intensifier CAM connected to 12VDC .

 

Since a few weeks , image is rolling or getting lines on the screen (video signal doesn't sync good). This is on all Speco Intensifier Bullet cams.

 

Having a power dist box (12V) with other cams connected to it (dome) and they are OK.

 

I change the power dist box just to make sure problem is not coming from it and samething.

 

Question: Do you think by connecting them to 24VAC would improve the signal ?

Is everything grounded / bonded properly? The only real advantage to 24VAC is when you have to cover a long distance.

 

Power related earth loops are also reduced but I would ask bentech about his cabling. What is he using & how long are the runs? It sounds to me that it is not an earth problem but a vertical sync problem.

Hi ,

 

Here are some infos:

 

-I use a Altronix SAV9D as power distribution (12VDC)

-I tried to increase the voltage to 12.5 volts , samething

-Problematic cams are SPECO HTINTB8

-cable is RG59 with BNC compression connectors

-There is a junction with an union

-~800 feet long

 

Was there for 2 years without any problem.

 

Can it be termination (75 ohm) setting on DVR .

 

Having a video tester ST893 , and signal seems to be OK on it. When connected to the DVR or LCD monitor , not good.

 

See pic attached. You can see the lines at the bottom

OK , fixed the problem by adding a ground loop isolator to the CAM that had lines.

 

Stange , it was OK for more than a year without this.

 

 

Thanks !
