Sure the cat5 from the camera isn't wired into a patch panel and not a switch?

Does the patch cable to the DVR turn into BNC?

 

It's definitely a switch, and no it goes from switch to the back of the DVR.

Hi,

Recently looked at a PTZ which was wired to a switch in cat5 (both terminated rj45 at the switch and in the camera) and it then had a cat5 patch lead from the switch to the dvr which brought it into the system and its own seperate local supply wired into terminals in the PTZ, is there a name for this as i havent come across it before, its not HD its an ancient system which presumably was cutting edge on install because the quality is much better than most of its age! I cant remember the name of the dvr manufacturer but its old american pc based.

Any ideas or previous experience with this sort of PTZ? Basically want to know if I upgrade to an HD IP PTZ and upgrade the switch to a PoE switch will it come on the ancient dvr or any potential issues?

Many Thanks

Dan

[Hi]

Just pulling your chain Dan, calm down.

 

I think may be able to recommend a few other engineers?

No worries! just being careful how I answer (professionalism and what not...bore!) send them my way!

 

Thanks

[Hi]

Putting all the other engineers to shame I suspect?

Suspect all you like - we have engineers of different levels of abilities - regardless of ex-employee's im here to source good subcontractors and an extra engineer.

Hi,

 

My names Dan from IPS Fire & Security (South East England - covering Southampton to Dover and Brighton to Watford)

 

I'm currently looking to hire an extra fire & security engineer - (multi discipline preferred, but we would train a single discipline engineer to become multi)

 

and i'm also looking for subcontractors (multi discipline) all over the south.

 

We're an SSAIB accredited company, and have been established over 10 years with a great team attitude.

 

I'll be posting in here more regularly!

 

Thanks

 

Dan
