rssn 0 Posted March 7, 2015 Note: I already post this in General Analog CCTV Discussion but I don't know how to remove Hi Guys, I'm new at setting up a surveillance camera but I understand how it works. Anyway guys what will you suggest with my project? this is my first time to setup this type of place, it's industrial area. I have a plan putting bullet cameras and 1 PTZ, but my problem is running the cables because they require UPS since they're using two generators and switching every 12 hours. Do you think it will work if I use Siamese cable from camera to dvr and power box? Thanks in advance and looking forward to know you guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted March 7, 2015 yes that should work (rg59/w18ga power) make sure you size the UPS to handle the DVR and the camera load with infra red active. Type of UPS is a factor, as you don't want the voltage to drop and then have the UPS kick in I think you want a line interactive UPS that supplies constant voltage. I would size things to give yourself at least 15 MIn of runtime but that is something you will have to come up with. If possible I would go with a 24vAC isolated power supply.

Such as made byAltronix Thank you so much sir! I would search what you've mention. I'm also having a doubt with my bullet cameras, they want to cover at least 90% of the border wall. I've tried searching online to calculate the field of view but I ended up to confusion. can you suggest me some website or computation? Thanks in advance.
