Camera Box required to power Analog camera over 1000 feet

[mikesd81 0]

I need a way to power an analog camera over 1000 feet away.

 

The setup will be 4 cameras. 2 of them are on the house, no big deal.

 

1 of them is about 600 feet down the driveway and the other is 1000 feet down the driveway.

 

 

The specs for the camera are: http://overseas.hikvision.com//uploadfile/image/9923_E%E8%B5%84%E6%96%99%E6%A8%A1%E6%8B%9F%E7%9B%B8%E6%9C%BADatasheetC2TCDS2CE16C2TIR.pdf

 

The question is, what kind of camera box and wiring do I need to run the full run? I was looking at something similar to this: http://www.apexcctv.com/p-1306-9-ch-cctv-distributed-power-supply-5-amp.aspx

 

Would that work with 18 gauge siamese wire to power the hikvision camera?

 

 

thanks.

 

Note: First post, apparently can't post links?

I would suggest to use a 24VAC 50VA power supply for the cameras that is 1000 and 600 feet away and use a AC to DC Power Converter (24VAC to 12VDC Regulator). The converter input is from 20-36 volts AC so even if your AC drop to 20 volts the regulator maintain its output to 12VDC. I recommend you use 14-16 power wire. I have tried this using 18/2 and I have no problems at all.

 

Now let's go to your video signal. A good quality RG-59 can go as far as 1000 feet but that is no longer in compliant. Some cameras can tolerate this distance and have no problem at all. If you experience a signal drops and the image is wavy I suggest you use a ACTIVE video baluns by running CAT5 or CAT6 cable. Remember video baluns works on twisted pair wires or UTP.

So, something like this?

 

With that converter, would I def be able to power a camera that far away?

 

As for video signal, if I can't use Cat5 with a balun, I could always use a power amplifer. So in the picture below, assume that RG6 cable can be Cat5

Yes, your diagram is perfect and let us know the results.
