breff Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Anyone know anyone who can install some fibre links for some IP cameras? We cannot use conventional cameras and the distance is 130 metres to the building from the pole, so cat5 is out. The job is in Bromley, Kent (SE London ish) The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

Gopher Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I know this maybe a long way round this but is this going to be a fixed camera or not? Reason I ask is was wondering if you could fix the camera, run it back co-ax or baluns on cat5e, then use a co-ax to IP converter, it is just a thought might work out cheaper than running it from cat5e to fibre to cat5e.

I've thought of that, only problem is that the monitoring company use the sony software I believe. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!
