sixwheeledbeast Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 IP wiring structure has a little more to it than throw wires everywhere and pinching pairs. Ideally it should be a Cat5e per camera but POE switches can be used in locations. More than 100m sections will be a potential issue as will power source locations.

sjsturner Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Over 100m and you need network switches which makes it more interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo66 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yes runs are in excess of 100 metres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubit Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yes runs are in excess of 100 metres How far over? 90-100M is the recommended without signal boost but depending on quality of cable install, quality of cable, local interference etc you may get away with it, no guarantees though.

whistle Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 We have used dynamic passive baluns for well over 200m on one site without any problems at all, with 4 cameras on one cat5 and a location 24v PSU to the cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP was asking about if the site was updated to IP cameras. Passive baluns could get ~300m with good cable and kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo66 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sorry guys we have slightly side tracked to the future prospect of changing the system to IP. It seems as though my powers that be have underestimated the infastructure that needed to be installed at this stage should the customer want to change over. Luckily thats not my problem to worry about. We have used dynamic passive baluns for well over 200m on one site without any problems at all, with 4 cameras on one cat5 and a location 24v PSU to the cameras. This is on par with our install except for 12volt cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you change to ip its going to be a different ball game as networking rules then come into play, i have got away with 120 mtrs and had no probs, but left a loop for net switch if required.
