Advantage of using Balun
1) Signal Quality:
Baluns help maintain signal integrity over longer distances, reducing signal loss and ensuring high-quality video transmission. They are designed to minimize interference and noise, resulting in clearer and sharper video footage.
2) Cost-Effective:
Baluns allow you to use inexpensive twisted pair cables, such as Cat5e or Cat6, instead of traditional coaxial cables. This can significantly reduce installation costs, especially for long-distance camera runs, as twisted pair cables are generally less expensive and easier to install.
3)Flexibility:
Baluns support various transmission technologies, including HDCVI, AHD, TVI, and Analog, making them versatile for different types of CCTV cameras and DVRs. This flexibility allows you to mix and match cameras and DVRs from different manufacturers without compatibility issues.
4)Ease of Installation:
Baluns simplifies installation by providing a straightforward and standardized method for connecting cameras to DVRs. They typically feature plug-and-play functionality, requiring minimal setup and configuration.
5)Space Saving:
Baluns are compact in size, requiring less space for installation compared to bulky coaxial cables and connectors. This makes them ideal for installations where space is limited or where a discreet setup is desired.
6)Interference Reduction:
Baluns help reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) that can degrade video quality. This interference reduction ensures stable and reliable video transmission, even in environments with high levels of electrical noise.
7)Scalability:
Baluns supports multi-channel transmission, allowing you to connect multiple cameras to a single DVR using a single twisted pair cable. This scalability simplifies system expansion and upgrades, enabling you to easily add additional cameras or upgrade existing ones without extensive rewiring.
Video balun Technology
1) Signal Conversion:
Baluns convert the unbalanced video signal from the CCTV camera into a balanced signal suitable for transmission over twisted pair cables. This conversion helps minimize signal degradation and interference over long cable runs.
2)Twisted Pair Cable Usage:
Instead of using coaxial cables, which are bulkier and more expensive, video baluns allow the use of inexpensive twisted pair cables for transmitting video signals. These cables are readily available, easy to install, and cost-effective.
3)Multiple Channels:
Video baluns often support multi-channel transmission, allowing multiple video signals to be transmitted over a single twisted pair cable. This feature simplifies cable management and installation, reducing clutter and making system expansion easier.
4)Compatibility:
Video baluns are compatible with various video transmission technologies used in CCTV systems, including HDCVI, AHD, TVI, and Analog. This compatibility ensures that baluns can be used with a wide range of cameras and DVRs, providing flexibility and versatility in system design.
5)Interference Reduction:
Baluns help reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) that can degrade video quality during transmission. By maintaining signal integrity, baluns ensure stable and reliable video transmission, even in environments with high levels of electrical noise.
6)Plug-and-Play Installation:
Video baluns typically feature plug-and-play functionality, requiring minimal setup and configuration. This simplifies installation and reduces the time and effort required to set up a CCTV system.

Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even ruclips.net/user/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.
Thank you for the helpful video. Please disregard all bigoted comments since they are good for nothing. This is is the only useful video about this subject that I have viewed. Thank you.
You are welcome Mr. Tareq
I have a built in mic camera with one bnc connector and one adapter socket. Should i connect the video balun/transmitter same way?
yes
My technician used an RJ11 cable and camera are view was not clear so installed balun and now is clear. But when it is night, when camera tries to kick in IR display goes off
It is not related to cat 6 or balun
@@LayaBro You are right. discovered that cables were inferior so voltage was dropping heavily when IR kicked in.
Hi, I would like to know if the cable can be used to give internet🌐 and power⚡ to a router or AP.
Yes you can. I did see the below link

Where did you put the Orange? is it in the (+)? or it can be placed in any as power source?
Yes It can replace
One doubt. Pls answe me asap. I have connected 2 analogue cameras by single LAN cable. All the 8 wires are used. But the video not clear. Lines and grains are there. What is the solution? No balloons used. Directly connected to BNC connectors. Can i use any type of booster?
Please use balloon.
Hi,
While using CAT5 or CAT6 cable to analog cameras like ahd, hdcvi, Tvi, who have to use UTP video balloons both sides. Connect UTP balloon at camera and near dvr your problem will be rectified. Note cable length should not increase above 50 meters.
Can you use 2 pairs for video or for power. Should you cross pairs twisting or one pair for negative, one for positive. Is the balun polarity important
One pair use for video. And you can use two pair for power
@@LayaBro Thanks! My cam image is scrolling down flickering like retro tv. Will change camera maybe with less sensitive!
Helo, I have a cctv set up with two hikvision cameras to a dvr using cat 5 cable for video and power. A would like to add a further camera, am I right in that there would be no need for additional power connections as this has already been set up?
Can you tell me your power supply ampere range
Input 0.7A max

Does cat 6 cable work for hd cctv camera?
yes
Without video balun also it work right
Thanks for your information
For first time people it's gonna be a problem the way you explain it, like for instance the balun has a + or - on top and also the power connector
Please i have a serious question: in my opinion it's better to replace the UTP cable by FTP cable. it's will avoid signal noise.
what do you think about that?
FTP (Foil twisted pair ) better than UTP cable. But I don't have experience about this cable.

Good job, can i use POE Extender to transmit both Video and Power over Cat5e and Balun for Analogue cameras? thanks
Thanks for your advice.
But I remember POE voltage is 48 V, but analogue camera voltage is 12 v
depending on injector. there are versions for 12 V but pay attention on cable colors so you won't misplace connectors. But I'd suggest passive baluns over utp with power station near (connected to an ups) this way you'll power lots of cameras from one point and have all signals send on one utp/ftp cable to your active/passive 16/32 ch balun then into your dvr.(you'll get less cables near your dvr and a secure power line )
If any quality loss when using cat6 for 250 meter
No Experience

hello mister
I have a question?
I have in my store 16 channels samsung
dvr(sdr-c75300)
I want to replace it for Hikvision NVR 32CH 24 PoE
The cameras I have are from Samsung
(sdc-9441bc)
1080p Full HD resolution
Is this adapter suitable for me to install my cameras to?
Hikvision NVR plugs with the cat 6 cable?
If in the field you can make an episode, how is the method of converting the wires of the BNC cameras to the NVR device, meaning the first party that is installed in the camera is installed through the BNC adapter, and the other side is installed with a direct rg45 wire in the NVR device? Is this method valid and the camera transmits what is recorded to the NVR?
Thank you very much

Please comment english. I am sri lankan.
What is the reason we need to use cat6 cable to balon
1) we can use same cat 6 cable to video data and power
2) we can use cat 6 cable near to 400 m
A "balun" gets its name from two words "balanced" and "unbalanced"...bal-un
You use them because it provides the same signal strength coming and going which translates to better picture with ability to go a great distance through cat5 or cat6 cable AND they come with almost any connection there is to mate with camera so a balun is not just a connector/adapter...
@@timvittetoe6562 great.
When I use unshielded twisted pair I get interference
What is the lenght of cable
Maybe the CAT 6 is layed over too much electrical wires (BX), lightning, or even HVAC system. Unshielded wire is perfect when you have a perfect clear space run. Keep it away from other electrical emmiting or reflective equipment
What’s with the delay bro lol
No delay
Its not willy Good for long distances and wiring together with other high voltage source power...induction in action and your videos view will broken.
true but if your using a passive 4 channel video balun over utp and link it to another one , signal won't be lost . this version its best to use for areas under 50m. ( you may get better results if using sftp cable isn't cheap but you may go around 150 m without any issue as for 4 ch passive balun connected to a 16ch active one from 1.5km you'll reach without any problem almost double . :)
Can multiple camera connect in one wire by using any cable.please help me
any cable you can't use for connect camera. but you can test. using two pair wire you can connect only one camera.
Connecting multiple cameras using one cable like cat6 is not advisable as induction will take place causing interference in the video signal
Only twisted pair and balun
Good Idea
Thanks
It’s good without music
Thanks for your advice, I not add music for my new videos.
150 miter lenth me video nahi aa raha

Hey am AFRIBEH
this is wrong, you need to use 4 pairs for the voltage...
It is depend by camera power consumption and camera cable length, shot distance you can use single pare por the power. I fixed two camre using single Ct 6 cable.
