bigb56 1 Posted May 2 I have several analog cameras from Rugged CCTV (now Rugged Cams) that I ran for years with CAT6 and (non-powered passive) baluns. Recently one of them stopped working, lost video signal. I replaced the baluns, I switched to another known good CAT6 pair, nothing. Then I brought the camera to the DVR and connected it with siamese and it worked. Used the same power supply, so power supply is good and IR lights up. The run is about 75 feet. Not sure where to go next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted May 2 Hi. Can you list the baluns you used and how many pairs for power and video used also type of power supply and amp size …. And how many cameras on the power supply power supplies can start to degrade over time and get weak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And how many cameras on the power supply power supplies can start to degrade over time and get weak Actually I swapped in a power supply from an identical camera that is working fine but it didn't help. The power is at the camera, I only run the video signal thru the CAT6 with a power supply at each camera so no shared power supplies. What I finally did was change baluns again and that solved it. The baluns were all new but no name ones which I think I got from Amazon some time ago. Looks like they are hit or miss. I have several styles, these are the big ones and I suspect poor quality. So after racking my brain I decided to try baluns again as I didn't see how it could be anything else since I proved out everything else. Thanks for your reply, it's kind of quiet around here I noticed. I'm doing a major overhaul of my CCTV system plus adding an 8 channel Dahua NVR and some IP cams, I'll probably have more questions.
