jim239 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hi everyone, I have cracked on with installing my CCTV, I have run a few cat 5 cables and tested them successfully using my Haydon tester. Unfortunately after running a length through some conduit I have found that my tester is flashing both pins 1 & 2 simultaneously and then cycling through the other pins correctly at one end, the other end flashes fine. Will I have to replace the whole cable or will my Hikvision turret camera be ok with the 1 & 2 pins, I guess crossed? I am unsure if the camera uses those pins? I have replaced both ends and redone the connection but it has not fixed the problem. Thanks for any help Regards Jim Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43802-poe-camera-help-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help Regards Jim I came across something like this , was usually the connector or the tester itself even though the connections had be redone , I did them myself and it worked fine Take the connectors off and test the pairs with a meter if it's trouble replacing cable that might not need replacing Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43802-poe-camera-help-please/#findComment-500696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 can you not power that one locally ? Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43802-poe-camera-help-please/#findComment-500701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim239 Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 I won’t be able to power it locally unfortunately. I have redone the connection at the remote end and I still have 1&2 flashing the same time and now pin 4 is not lighting up at both ends. it may be my connections that are not great so going to try the remote end again and if that fails I will have to replace the cable I guess. it’s annoying as I don’t know where the kink or damage along the cable will be as it’s all in conduit. I also cut it off the drum before testing. I am going to look at the drum to see if I can find the other end to test it before cutting it off. regards Jim Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43802-poe-camera-help-please/#findComment-500702 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim239 Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Thanks for the reply's, I checked my tester on a known working patch lead to double check and then redone the connections again for a third time at both ends and must have been third time lucky as it is now testing correctly. I have two cameras up now, one left for today and then the tricky couple at the end I think. regards Jim Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43802-poe-camera-help-please/#findComment-500708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
