jeromephone 6 Posted January 13, 2019 Rg 59 or rg6 for analog, cat5or6 for IP ,or cat5or6 with baluns for analog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted January 13, 2019 Cabling has advanced a lot over the last few months. IP over cat cable is limited to distance (which changes soon) but there are IP baluns now for replacing cat cable and using standard RG59 which gives IP Poe a distance of 1.600 feet. we were given samples back in November and was told distance is twice that. we ran 500m (1.600 feet) with a 4mp camera and worked with no problems. direct from NVR Poe output. No need for switches or boosters. So a very cost effective way to run IP systems over 4 times cat5 distance also upgrading old coax systems it Makes it easy and only balun costs on existing coax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted January 14, 2019 what is the approx cost of the hardware to use coax for IP? I looked a while ago and it seemed to be in the 200.00 per cable range Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No hustle to remove them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
