Cat5e outdoor but buy copper not CCA or you will regret it 

 

Ps the hik doorbell try and connect it on a channel first temporarily before buying or running cables so you don't waste your time if that makes sense, of it works all well then get they 8way etc

Hi Al-Yeti,

Thank you for your reply.

 

SO I need to buy the Cat5e outdoor solid copper cable and the CCA is this used internally in the house or is it the same quality you get from your broadband provider with the router 1m cat5e cable.

 

So I need to do temporary wiring of the Cat5e to the door bell and I have to remove the existing wiring , which is connected on the transformer, so I do this will I be able to use the Ring and get the message on the phone or will it just record on the NVR only.

cca is copper coated aluminium and is cheap and nasty. Cat5e is copper

This is the cable I have to avoid, where it does not say Cat5e, the below link.

What's your max budget for cable? 

I need about 100 Metres and so don't want to spend more than £50-60.00 or I will have to see how much they are Cat5e outdoor cable , when I get home from work tonight.

Hi Guys,

Just to give you update, I purchased the Bell transformer from Screwfix 8-24V ,It says 8va , but the one I bought it did not have the Va mentioned, but it worked for me, it rings the Door bell and also the Chime and there is No buzzing sound and the Transformer is quite. I would recommend this transformer I have had it for 2 days and had no issue as yet. I have ordered from Toolstation the 2 way enclosure to put the transformer inside , as it is Din rail type transformer. It is working really good at the moment, so the Output Va is doing the job, if it s 8Va.

There was one on the Amazon which was 24V and 30Va ,but on the comments it says 40Va, when he actually received the Transformer and he also bought the Hikvison and it worked fine for him.

Hi All,

 I have purchased this cable SFX CAT5e UTP Cctv External PE Outdoor Black cable Solid copper.

 

another issue I have since the new transformer been changed from 8V 1Amp to 24v transformer from Screwfix and it worked really well  from Sunday to Wednesday night and then it just gone offline and I have got WiFi booster near the video door bell and still showing offline.

i reset the device , by pressing the reset button for 15 seconds and i had no luck, just don’t seem to able to connect to WiFi, I don’t know if it the virgin Media Hub 3.0. May be some restrictions. I even disconnected Ding Dong Chime wiring and still the same can not connect to WiFi on the door bell. 

 

Do do you have any ideas what could it be.

Yes , WiFi doorbells do this 

Probably why it was cheap on eBay, when did you buy it?
