baywatch Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I remember seeing a device in a catalogue that cosisted of a unit that fitted on each end of an rg59 cable to allow 2 x cameras to send their images down the 1 cable. I can't find the item now that I need it, anyone remember it. I know it multiplexes the image and that the frame rate will be lower, but its only for an overflow car park. There is currently 1 camera on a pole with 240 volts, we want to add another camera without cutting through the concrete to run another coax. Thanks for your input in advance Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/9034-2-camera-pictures-down-1-x-rg59/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input in advance Baxall used to do a device that did this, controlled by telemetry signals essentially a fancy relay/switcher.

PJF Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Norbain do a bit of kit that does this, not badly priced. Top tip: if you ever catch fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because i bet thats what REALLY throws you into a panic and dont forget the one thing you cant recycle is wasted time.

ian.cant Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 You mean one of these, this is the receiver end, somewhere in my shed i have a transmitter end and psu, you can buy them from Norbain as far as i am aware.

QFA yes you can. Not cheap though, but it depends on how much cabling you have to do. I think it is a high speed switcher. It also does an alarm switch and voltage down the line. Used them several times with no problems.

baywatch Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Found the SNT Group site & it looks like their units will do the job. Thanks for the advice. Will let you know how I get on.

Guest Fused Spur Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 there was a company called norteck (not sure of spelling) that did a similar unit. you would have a tx unit that you conected video sig into (adding daughter boards to increase inputsx8) and via coax cable with aremote swithcer at the other end just flicking through the video sigs. it was ok for viewing but not good for recording. if you are thinking of using less cable etc look at the balun systems using cat5 cable. hope this helps Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/9034-2-camera-pictures-down-1-x-rg59/#findComment-84700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 if you are thinking of using less cable etc look at the balun systems using cat5 cable. Read the original question, there's a single co-ax in that they're stuck with.

baywatch Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 I've been in contact with SNT and intend using their unit (its not cheap), will let you know how I get on. BTW they say their unit sends both signals in real time & will also send the 12 volt for the camera power. This could be handy for adding a camera by cutting into an existing coax & just putting the camera there. Maybe useful for temporary coverts etc?

ian.cant Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Theyre spot on, used them a few times in ASDA for carpark cameras or long runs where running a cable isnt really a viable option.
