cctv42.co.uk - using cat5 cable and baluns to connect a cctv camera to your DVR
This shows how baluns are used in conjunction with cat5 cable to connect a cctv camera to a DVR recorder. The cat5 cable can also be used to provide 12 volt DC power to the camera depending on camera power consumption and cable length.

Great video. Today I was talking to a friend of how to install the dvr usb using cat 5 cables and i just found this. As i saw, you are only using + and - cable for the video. so one cable can hold 4 cameras if you power the cameras locally.
Thank you so much! After this video I finally understood how to do this.
Hi there. There are 4 pairs of wires. For example, our CAT5e cable has: Blue+Blue/White Green+Green/White Brown+Brown/White Orange+Orange/White Pick a colour (we always use blue) and separate those 2 wires from the remaining pairs. Use these for the video. Use the solid blue in the +ve on the balun AT BOTH ENDS. The blue/white is the same, but -ve. Split the remaining 3 pairs and use all solid colours for +ve (at both ends) and all stripy colours for -ve (at both ends). Hope that helps! :o)

Parish Raut Thanks for the kind words. glad it helped.
The problem quoting maximum distances is that it depends on the current draw of the camera. It all comes down to the cross sectional area of the conductor. More copper equals more distance. In practice there probably won't be a vast difference in distance. On the video side however the Cat5 / balun combination is superb. 300 metres is huge. You can even extend that to 1200 metres by using active baluns. Finally the termination is very easy, no crimping tools just a small screwdriver.
Excellent video, thanks!
ok thank for taking time to answer, I had tried with 3 pairs for energy and is not working yet, I will change the balun maybe it´s damaged.
thanks for the advice will try it out on the weekend
Your English is certainly better than my Mexican! That is the way we always connect it up - solid colour is positive, stripe (white and thin colour line) for negative to avoid confusion, however it doesn't really matter as long as you keep it exactly the same throughout the whole system and at both ends of the cable. I hope that helps.
@coldlogik You can do that, yes. The reason we combine the remaining 3 pairs is to reduce voltage drop down the wire to the camera. We have found that with 3 pairs for power, up to 60 or 70 metres should work fine (unless you have a camera with a high power consumption). I would guess at around 40 metres with your suggested configuration. Remember when installing to test with the IR on as well as off as this draws more power. Matt - CCTV42.co.uk

I would struggle to explain the inner workings of my wife's mind. Yes means no, unless it means yes, no means no unless of course it means yes. The hardest one it "I don't mind". That means a multitude of things but usually "I very much do have an opinion but I'm not going to tell you at this stage". I will tell you in the most vocal of terms when you get it wrong.....
Thank you for your comment. We find that over 60 metres you start getting voltage drop along the cable potentially causing the camera to malfunction. The video signal is not a problem - 300m is easily achievable - it's purely the power. I'd suggest you try to find a power location nearer the camera if possible.
Great video, and excellent point about using PURE copper CAT5e, a lot of "CAT5e" I see sold on the net and even in some stores is CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum), it may work, but does not meet some standards.
There are subtle differences between the two, but with the prices being so similar, you would be wise to go for the CAT5e cable. We've tested CAT5e with the passive video baluns at 300m with no issue at all - the only problem you'll have with that length is running the power over the cable. You will need to power each camera locally as opposed to with one central power supply.
I am learning a lot from your video. Thanks.

If you scrape back some of the copper see if there is silver coloured metal underneath. It may be that your video baluns are faulty. The UTP (uniform twisted pair) wire goes straight into the video balun. Also make sure you have the polarity correct on the baluns.
nice video its very educative
Hi Henry, Many thanks for uploading this informative video! Could you advise what you would do with the baluns on the camera side when they are used externally? Do they need to be boxed? how are they waterproofed? Many thanks in advance!
thanks sir for your video and up dates kindly make some video to show how we can connect home made poe as I used 123 and 6 port for video data and 4578 I used for power twisting one pair for positive and one pair for negative but I don't know weather it is stander or not I don't use poe, use power switching supply.
great video! very ilustrative! i have a question about the polarity of de cable. The solid color lines are the positive pole? (red,blue,green) and the the white cables with a thin line color is the negative pole of the cable? im mexican sorry for my bad english.
Most helpful. Cheers.
Yes, correct a single cat5 cable can handle up to 4 individual video feeds if the cameras are powered locally and we use this feature a lot with multi-camera cctv systems. Just plain old Cat5 cable. What I would say though is use pure copper rather than CCA (copper clad aluminium) because it works better and has less of a tenancy to break due to metal fatigue at the balun joints. Henry
Well done...thanks 👍
Thanks a lot! This video is amazing!

@ipsademexicotv thank you for your comments. When installing cameras outside, we always recommend keeping the connections dry. For this purpose you would be best advised to use a weatherproof enclosure of some sort. We stock one which can be seen on our website at: cctv42.co.uk/content/94/weatherproof-box-for-outside-cable-connections.aspx
Hi. Thank you for this excellent video. Do the baluns have polarity? If they have, how to connect? from one balun's Positive to possitive on the other balun, or positive to negative? (invert)
jejeje, thank you for your comments and the information. Now i have a new questions. 1.The utp cable that you were used in the video is cat5 or cat 5e? 2.For the same purpose can i use cat 5e? 3. I tried to do the same conections with a utp cat 5 cable but had only 2 pairs of wire inside, not 4 pairs as in the video and it did not work, would be by this type of cable (utp cat 5 with 2 pairs of wires inside)? receives greetings from mexico
If you're powering the PTZ camera separately, then you don't need to use the other 2 pairs within the CAT5e cable. You can leave them as spares for future use.
For PTZ cameras, the RS485 signal runs over the bare wire and can do as long as the video baluns.
Very informative video. But with the limitation of 60 metres to power the camera and the need of locally power, I think that siamese RG59 cable is a better solution in most situation where the external cameras are 100 or more meters away and in places where no electrical outlets exist. Besides that a siamese cable for video and powering looks more secure because you can elevate in all the trajectory and with this you can avoid simple unplugging. Im right?
Your video is excellent ,1 question How do you recomend installing on the outside ?? should i just use a 3M Electric Tape all around the balun and ac plug???? Thanks in advance Robert
You can indeed use CAT5e cable, but please make sure it is pure copper cable (not CCA) and if it'll be used outdoors, is external grade cable also - this is the type of cable we have available in our web store in the CCTV Accessories For Sale Page.

Hi, just wondered if you could help me, I have took an existing cat 5 camera down but it only has one cable for the video feed? When I have connected it to the positive connector I have video but obviously it's not very good... Flickering etc. any ideas? Thanks
Hi....great vid and I have purchased baluns and cat5 and find it a lot easier than rg59 shotgun cable.....the only problem I find is that the wire is so thin and easily breaks at the balun terminal...not a big problem outside in the junction box because little movement but behind the dvr I find the wires can break.....do you have any tips?
Hello there, I have exactly the same scenario as minute 2:28 but with the difference that i´m using two pairs of cable for the balun (one pair for positive and the other for negative) and the other two pair for the power source, but the camera is not working, do you think it might be a problem related to power? I mean, do i have to use three pairs instead of two in the female power connector? i will aprecciate your answer
@flamesecure None at all. The baluns are a very good way of transmitting the images. The construct of the cable ensures that there is minimal interference introduced into the image.
When you use the Cat5 UTP cable to run signal from 4 cameras as in our example on the video you will have to power each camera locally because there is no remaining capacity, all the pairs have been used for video signal. Each pair of wires can only do video or Power, not both at the same time. Hope that answers you question and sorry it took up 2 posts! Henry - CCTV42.co.uk.
Thank you this was helpful, can you show how to connect cat 6 - to- Balun- to- IP camera ( Ethernet Port ). I have only wires to take Video to my system.

Henry thanks for ur response on how to weatherproof all the connections , i saw in ur vid that u are using 3 pairs of utp cable for voltage how far can i extend using your 3-pair tip , and have u been thinking on selling on ebay?? Thanks!
my simple question is, Running cat5 instead of siamese cable is better for these type of cameras? (non ip cameras) ?? or is it just for emergency? because I rather use cat5 than stinky coax.. I don't like coax at all, good thing in the next 5 years all cameras will be ip cameras!
Ok - to answer your questions in order: 1. In the video we are using CAT5e cable 2. Either CAT5 or CAT5e is fine - it makes no difference with this application. What does matter is ensuring that it is PURE COPPER, not CCA. 3. CAT5/5e should have 8 wires (4 pairs). If any less, it probably isn't CAT5/5e cable. Good luck!
Still the BEST supplier in the UK . Dont bother buying from others .
When installing cameras outside, we always recommend keeping the connections dry.

We suggest using a small weatherproof enclosure for the camera to cable connections. bring all the cables into the box from underneath with a drip loop to ensure the connections are kept dry.
i have red and blue bullons. is it mind if i install them at any end of the wire. i mean red to dvr and blue to camera or blue to dvr and red to camera?
Thanks for the video. I wonder whats the max range of this application ? Do I need to use these baluns for 200mt distance between camera and dvr ? Or is it much better to use coax ? Do you recommend 16ch balun recievers instead of seperated baluns for each camera ? Thanks

We suggest a maximum cable length of 50m when powering the camera via the Cat5e cable, 100m if you power the camera locally and only use the Cat5e cable to transfer video signal. The balun manufacturer claims a maximum distance of 200m but we prefer to play safe. We don't sell multi channel baluns.
sorry its me not explaining myself properly the cables that i meant were the ones going to the balun & the the one going to the dc power not cutting or shortening the camera cable , if cables were left in a loft space would you tape the bare wires? also is this the same core wire that you would sell with your B7 camera, would you always put all the remaining cables 3 pair to the dc is this so there is not voltage drop ( great videos by the way i am learning alot from them as a complete novice )

The Cat5e cable can be cut to length, the video baluns and DC plugs are designed to be fitted by you using a small screwdriver. You could use tape, although sometimes that can make checking them difficult. The good thing about a plastic enclosure is they can be easily accessed if you need to change or check anything. We do sell external Cat5e cable on the site. Cameras are supplied on their own, you need to order cable & connectors separately. Thanks for the kind words.
How can I know the real difference in the cables??, I bought a box of cable but it does not have the transparent plastic protection for the wires, it just the blue plastic cable and the 8 wires inside, the distance of the cables to the cameras is not longer than 30 mt. I have to mention that if i use a UTP to BNC converter all the cameras works perfectly, but when i try to build the connectors they are not working as I said. I will let you know what happens with 3 pairs for energy, many thanks!
@formidable38 it is just standard 'networking cable' or UTP cable. If you're looking at using this type of cable for CCTV, ensure the cable is 'Pure Copper', not 'CCA' or 'Copper Clad Aluminium' (also known as 'Copper Coated Aluminium') as it is a better type of cable with better electrical properties. Cheers Matt - CCTV42.co.uk
Hi there. It could be a voltage drop issue at the camera. We would suggest a maximum cable run of around 50 metres when using CAT5 for both video and power, that is with 3 pairs of wire for power, 1 for the video baluns. You also need to make sure you are using pure copper CAT5 rather than CCA or copper clad aluminium. Many cheaper retailers will supply this in place of pure copper cable and it greatly reduces the performance of the cable.

You should never cut the flylead which comes from the camera. This will invalidate any warranty and you could end up damaging the camera. Excess cable can be looped outside the box to form a drip loop.
That would indeed work. As long as you use the same pair for each camera. Use: Blue+Blue/White - Camera 1 on the cable Green+Green/White - Camera 2 on the cable Brown+Brown/White - Camera 3 on the cable Orange+Orange/White - Camera 4 on the cable That will work, no problem at all.

Handling the video feed from 4 cameras down 1 piece of CAT5e cable works best when the cameras are close to each other making connections easier. You could theoretically cut into the cable along it's length to use one of the twisted pairs for a camera but it's harder. The cameras would need to be powered independently from the CAT5e cable, you couldn't use it to handle multiple video signals AND power the cameras.
Useful video!!! but i need to ask somthing more: the distance of my cameras will be from 40 to 50 m is the cat 5 useful? do i need balluns? and is there cat 5 with 8 pairs of cables for 2 cameras useing only one cable/ thanks in Advance!!!

At 40-50m we would suggest powering the cameras locally to avoid voltage drop. CAT5e comes with 4 pairs of wire, you would need to run a second cable. If you are powering the cameras locally (ie. not using the CAT5e cable to supply power) then as you only need 1 pair of wires for the video feed up to 4 cameras can be handled by a single length of cable.

Hi there Abdul. This method would only be used for standard definition or HD Analog cameras such as HD-TVI, HD-AHD or HD-CVI. Make sure you use pure copper CAT5 or 6 not CCA (copper coated aluminium). Use shielded cable and also make sure you are using genuine video baluns rather than just connectors where the terminal wires straight through to the BNC fitting. There are specific standard definition and HD video baluns. The maximum length will depend on a number of factors. Assuming just video transfer our equipment allows for a maximum connection length of 300m. If you are also supplying 12 volt power down the cable we would suggest a maximum cable length or 50-60m depending on the camera.
hello there... good explanation, however not sure why you would need to tie the last six cores into two sets of three to prevent voltage drop? when a single pair can provide 48v @30watt - we see this on standard network topologies when running POE devices ie Cameras, IP phones, Wireless access points etc.. perhaps i misunderstood what you were saying

These are not IP cameras, in this example we are using CAT5e cable purely for the copper content. The cameras are 12 volt which will increase the chance of voltage drop but with any wiring using thin wires and lower voltages voltage drop is an issue as cable runs increase in distance so trebling up acts as insurance policy.

@@rizwanmahmood1407 these are not PoE cameras in the strictest sense of the meaning. Because they work at 12 volts there is more chance of voltage drop compared to 48 volt devices. It's why the large power cables you see across the country run at 400,000 volts. CCTV applications are unique in that long cable runs can sometimes be required, certainly longer than might be experienced in a home or office set up and you won't have localised power injectors as you might in a network.

summerr911 They would be connected to the power supply for the camera assuming the cable run length is less than 60 metres. This can either be done by wiring the CAT5 straight into one of our Professional Power Supplies, or using a DC Socket and into either our Single Camera Power Supply or 4 Camera 5 Amp Power Supply.
How about controlling pzt?
Hi there. I don't think using a single pair of wires for the power supply on a PTZ camera will work. PTZ cameras have higher power requirements due to the motors and so you will suffer voltage drop. I would suggest powering the camera separately. You could then use 1 pair of wires for the video and 1 pair for the RS485 control. The wires need to connect to the video output & RS485 control on the camera, the DVR video input and what ever you are using to control the PTZ at the other end.

You wouldn't be running the internet service on your camera to DVR cable. Our DVRs connect to the internet separately allowing you to access your cameras remotely. For this application the CAT5 cable only takes 12 volt power to the camera and a video signal back from the camera to the DVR.
