satsuma01 Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 dont forget the volt drop if your using CAT-5, 12vdc will suffer more than 24vac. measure your cable runs! it may be to much for 3x cameras over one power supply pair (brown/brown white) and you may overload your psu. It may be better to run the signals (up to 4) over NVT/CAT-5 and run a seperate low volt feed. say using "cctv-1" power cable or evan 6 or 8 core with the cores twisted to lower the voltdrop over the one core. POIP (power over ip) routers use massive supplies to push power over the cat_5 network but have to be bigger due to the power loss. loner cable run - bigger volt-drop. what i tend to do is use .75 2 core cable (flex) for 12vdc or 24v ac and beldon for any telemetry on pan tilts etc, and either cat5 and baluns or coax for video signals.
