munroekelly Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 can anyone recommend a good passive/active balun that is good for 250-350 metres... ive tried system q passive ones and to say the least , the picture at the dvr end you definately know is a cat5 run and not coax- it seems with me on balun runs you always get that slightly washed out picture look ,,,with a bit of interefernce added . i like nvt baluns but there a bit pricey ,,, im after active baluns that amplifier , remove any interfernce and generally give a picture indinguishable from a coax run.. perhaps the interferenceim getting at the dvr end , is because the cams locally are being power by switched mode p/s and not standard linear boxed 12v ones... i dont know.. any recommendations anyone ? all are installs are on building sites , all 12v cameras and all anywhere between 50-350 metres - 400 metres max .. any balun recommadations that work would be very appreicated....glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I use dynamic but have had them from various places, most seem to be from the same manufacture, orange and silver label. Ive had well over 500m and the picture is crystal clear. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpotter Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 off topic (ish) would be good to have impartial comparision for lots of kit, bit like top gear etc. (nope, not doing a clarkson/may bit ox, so leave it , then again.. & how come they dont get sued for being nasty/honest etc?))
