Pablo56 0 Posted April 8 Hi. I bought a CCTV system last year (HiLook). I was told that these were banned in the UK because of Chinese involvement. But as this is for a basic home use it works for me. I was looking for an additional camera to add. I found myself on a website for Basecom. I was surprised to find that you can get powerline cameras. I asked them about getting one and was told that their power line cameras were not compatible with my system. But if the output of a power line receiver is a standard CCTV cat5 cable I would have assumed that it would be a simple matter of connecting up. Am I wrong in this? Are the cables all different? I also realise that I would have to supply the 12V myself. I only want a second camera and a power line one would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi when an over priced company lies to you then it’s a hint they have no clue powerline adapters have been around for years and IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY by them just buy a set of netgear powerline adapters and you have the same and work on any iP camera and don’t buy anything from that company they have listed 1 cam 1 nvr for £1.200 ($1.800) that has to be the most expensive one cam system in the world and that’s not fitted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something like this … but you will need a power supply for camera or use a Poe switch at camera end ( switch will power 4 cameras) https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-PL1000-100UKS-Powerline-Ethernet-Homeplug/dp/B01BD9TFI4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2U4QPD997NOCT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qvm_gQ5Qeh4zIWqKJzeCuHkCulZ3PqCLnHGXSA1Ehc3C5P-t_FIXo1YEHJWYqO8_r1BMyuf-31Jqkri7rAEfzIij5RuXp7-OGvTdGoMUSVedYV2xRuh7Ji_bZHnYdFGAnNMr_ksy3u78YupWNhEnuf-JwPdw65F8bYS-6Pz6lcshNyAHGaFGGdLIyfclX2pknuglHxzdz4YxcqTkBXp4rw.dbe8pGwa4i5i7AseQMVb4DnjrBA6-dUudpqvZU0EXVg&dib_tag=se&keywords=netgear+powerline+1000&qid=1712609155&sprefix=netegear+power%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
