In the search of an inexpensive BNC/F to RJ-45 Balun, I came across the Impact Acoustics BNC/F to RJ-45 Balun. It seemed too good to be true, at a price of under $10 each (you need 2 per camera), but I picked up a few to try and I am extremely surprised.
They use one pair of the RJ-45 connector (the brown/brown white pair) but you could easily pass multiple signals over one cable if needed.
I purchased mine from CablesToGo here
Features:
-
Multiple signals over a single 4-pair cable
-
Video over UTP cable
-
Male and female RCA or BNC connectors available (with RCA Connectors they are almost 5X the cost of BNC)
-
RJ-45 output for easy connection into existing wall plates
-
IDC output for easy connection without tools and multiple signals over a single 4-pair cable
-
Transmit video up to 1500 feet with little visible degradation
The following images were taken using a Hunt CCD Camera 580 Lines resolution and a cheap capture card.
 |
 |
30 feet of standard RG-59 cable, direct connection from camera to capture card.
|
50 feet of Ethernet cable with baluns and a 1 foot BNC cable at each end. |
They are well worth the current cost from my point of view. |
