Need Help Splitting up Video and Power on Existing System

Recommended Posts

Ok, about 10 years ago, before I knew about the real way to do CCTV, I got rooked into buying one of those complete Home Depot CCTV systems. Now my monitor died, but I'm pretty sure the cameras are still good and I have a real BNC input monitor that I would like to use.

 

Even if I replace the cameras, I really don't want to run new wire. So, I was wondering if I can use the existing wire with baluns to split up the video and power from each camera?

 

The wire I ran had 6 wires total in it and according to the specs, are as follows on the CAMERA END:

 

1. CALL-----------BLACK

2. DC IN----------RED

3. AUDIO IN------GREEN

4. VIDEO OUT----CLEAR

5. AUDIO OUT----YELLOW

6. GROUND-------BARE WIRE

 

Is this possible to do? Also, how do I determine the camera voltage requirement, so I can buy power adapters for these cameras?

 

Thank you.
