Questions & Answers

Can the UTP cat5 signal be plugged into an Ethernet port?

There is a digital aspect to Ethernet. The analogy here is that these There is no need for an Ethernet switch to pass this signal. Utilizing this device enables you to run both power and video over one inexpensive Cat5/6 cable, to eliminate the need to run a separate power cable and a bulky coax Baluns are typically paired with each other. Connecting the camera to the BNC and power connector, I connect a cable to the RJ45 of the first balun, the other end is connected to the RJ45 of the second balun and the BNC is connected to the display or DVR. A BNC cable is used to move the video signal from the camera to pairs of wires in the Cat5/6 cable. A power supply powers the second balun through the other wires in the RJ45 connector, and the second camera is powered through this power supply. (BALanced to UNbalanced, therefore a balun) is a device used to convert an analog video signal on a twisted pair of wires (balanced) to an analog video signal on a In order to do this, it is necessary to use a small transformer. Although the BNC connector is unbalanced, the RJ45 connector has only one pair of wires that are This functionality can work either in the opposite direction, from balanced to unbalanced. Video signals run over pins 7 and 8 of CAT 5 or CAT 6, and the video signal is carried by the pair connected to pin In addition to the other 3 pairs, there are also 3 power pairs. Each pair of these power supplies is connected to the same power supply. The voltage drop on longer cables is reduced as a result.

With the Swann DVRS and NVRS I have cat-5 connectors for the cameras and a BNC connector for the DVR. Are there any adapters that allow me to get 5mp and 1080p using these cables?

In my case, I used an Annke DVR at around 170ft runs and still had 1080P resolution.

How well do they work with video cameras of 720 p. ?

You might be able to use it with 720 p

Is there any significance to the flashing lights on the adapter?

It doesn't flash on mine it's a solid shade of There might be an issue with your Internet connection.

I can't imagine what the siamese video/power cable could compare to
5/5

I guess there is a god after all! For cameras, I do not like operating a two wire combination. It is expensive stuff, and if you don't take care, you can damage the video cable. (If you are running cameras, you must run a video cable and power cable that come as a single siamese cable. It's very expensive. In place of running these baluns, with the following configuration, you can now run ordinary cat 5e terminated with these Easy to run, simple, cheap and simple to set up. In one case, the device is an analog camera, whereas in the other case, it is a digital DVR and a 24 volt power supply. The process could not have been simpler.

Approximately 3 - 4 hours of my life It took you four hours to complete this task! If you have an Ethernet cable, this is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED upgrade
5/5

It definitely didn't seem like this would work, yet I still went for it. It was a good decision! The Ethernet cable (two different categories, 5 and 6) was already attached to the After connecting this VIMVIP video adapter, I experienced a magic moment. My 3-hr commute was drastically shortened because of this It took 4 hours to install all the cables. Though the video quality is a bit less good (but still acceptable) than with the standard video camera cable, I would suspect that is a result of the camera itself and not the Can I recommend this product to others? Yes, of course!.

I am using it with my Samsung 4MP camera
5/5

I am able to use it with my Samsung 4MP camera without any issues. As a result, I am very satisfied. The unit is attached to a buried CAT5e cable of 150ft. I'd like to make a few changes The cable could not have been run due to the distance.

It appears that two of the 10 connectors did not fit
5/5

It appears that 2 connectors were incorrectly inserted out of a total of 10. The signal kept dropping because of a loose connection. I was able to fix it by using the spare component I had in a spare unit.

My camera worked fine with this balun
5/5

Good quality balun for a bargain price. Connectors are made of sturdy and quality material, and they connected with my camera smoothly. I found installing the product to be very simple. It is necessary for images to be transmitted quickly in order to be of higher I am satisfied.

Among the twelve I had over the last 2 years, I only got one bad one! Although I have used these before, as soon as I plugged it in and plugged the power back on to the system, all my cameras went Apparently, some of the internal wiring of my unit is incorrect, as my power supply stopped working
3/5

All was well after I replaced the power supply for $12. A new update has been released! The seller promptly took care of me after I got a bad set. I have bought about 12 of these sets on the market over the last 2 years all of them were good. I must have gotten one bad set without the seller's fault.

I have fixed the blurriness on my security camera
5/5

There was a problem with one of my network cables for my security cameras. So instead of drilling a huge hole to accommodate premade bnc cables, I drilled a hole just big enough to allow me to fit a cat6 cable through. I found the adapter to be a great solution to many problems.

I would rate this as good The image quality has been improved
4/5

I was very happy with it. For a newly constructed 80-foot run, I chose these in case I upgrade to IP/PoE at a later time. There is some slack in the connecting cables, but it seems to be holding Added to that, the image quality also improved a little.
