Site with terrible interference

[aissecur]

how long are the camera runs?

24Vac supply may remove interference. This is often due to there design isolating a ground loop from via the PSU.

Similar effect to isolating a ground loop via "humbug" loop isolation on the signal cable, just on the power side.

 

You didn't mention much else about the installation either, UTP or coax, power supply locations, camera types and transmission type, any tests etc.

Tearing like in your OP would always make me think ground loop, hence my post.

It's coax runs of no more than 25 metres per camera. I am going to test the groundloop isolators on several runs and see what happens. If all else fails I think I will try the 24V power root and use volatge converters. Thank you for the recommendation on that.

It's best to use humbug devices as a last resort. They are handy for locating the type of fault initially but if you can solve it in the field that's the best.

As I say take the time to remove the cameras and add/test them, like I said in post above.

is it an easy job to try running cameras of 12v batteries ?
