Hi

Im currently renovating our house so all floors and ceilings are gone, I have run 6 core wire to where I'm having pir's, keypad, bellbox etc and back to a central location. I have also run cctv RG59 cable (3 cameras). now my question is, Is there a box that will control alarm and cctv or will it have to be 2 separate boxes?. I also want phone alerts when either detect something.

 

Many thanks

Better to go seperate 

 

Some intruder alarms can send snapshots 

 

Better to have 8core imo 

 

Run a cat5 to every CCTV point next to the rg59 it will prove useful later and it's cheap enough to do

 

And where ever you might want a camera later run an cat5 there to , you might only want three cameras now but 10 in the future might be nice 

Scantronic (Eaton) and Vanderbilt SPC have a system where images from IP CCTV is uploaded via an app in the event of an intrusion.

 

However, unless you want to be being contacted every 5 seconds, and all night, (assuming the cameras are external), you might have to rethink what you want.

 

Also you would be far better with Cat5e/6 cables for new camera work.

Thanks for that, are new cameras run from cat5/6 now or is this in the not too distant future?

You can still run some cameras on Rg but look up the following 

 

Poe cctv

Baluns CCTV

Cat5 CCTV 

 

 

We havent used rg59 for around 10 years, even if you have analogue cameras cat 5 and baluns is better you can run upto 4 cams on 1 cat5

Thanks, time to change the coax. Anyone know a good supplier for Vanderbilt SPC?
