What kind of wire do I need to use with UTP Cameras? |
 |
Use Unshielded Twisted Pair, Category 2 or better, 16-24AWG, stranded or solid. Using a multi-pair wire (six pairs or more) with an overall shield is OK. |
|
How many transmission distance when use the I-View’s UTP camera? |
|
All I-View’s UTP cameras including Dome camera, IR camera and Box camera allow to transmission video & power up to 300 meters via Cat.5 UTP cable. |
|
Can UTP camera transmission more than 1 Km? |
|
Can UTP camera work with IP video solution? |
|
The UTP cameras can work with IP video and it will more benefits than the traditional IP camera structure.
|
|
Can shielded twisted pair be used with UTP Camera? |
|
Some customers have successfully used shielded wire up to a few hundred feet. However, we do not recommend it. Its high-frequency roll-off will severely degrade the distance performance. Use of an amplified receiver can compensate for some signal loss. Multi-pair wire (six pairs or more) can have an overall shield without degradation. |
|
Can the wire path has splices? |
|
Yes. We recommend designing CCTV systems in much the same way as phone/data systems are designed. You can splice the wire or use 66-blocks or 110-blocks to make connections. Video can be sent through a dozen of these connections without significant degradation. |
|
Can Category 6 wire be used for UTP Camera? |
|
Yes. Unshielded Twisted Pair wire, Category 2 or better, can be used with UTP camera. |
|
Can I use spare pairs in an existing telephone system to transmit video using UTP Cameras? |
|
Yes. One of the advantages of UTP camera is that the wiring for video/power can reside along with telephone system wiring. However, be sure to use “dry copper” pairs. There should be no dial-tone, 48 volts, loading coils, bridge-taps or switching on the chosen pairs. |
|
Can I install my UTP camera bundle near RF antennas, fluorescent lights, motors, generators, or high voltage? |
|
Yes. The UTP camera signal is highly immune to interference, allowing it to be installed near these noise-generating sources. For life-safety and electrical code reasons, never install I-View’s UTP camera in the same conduit as high-voltage wiring. |
|
What is the supported bandwidth of UTP Camera? |
|
DC to 5 megahertz, clear channel |
|
When transmitting the video of UTP camera, the video is wavy and there is a dark bar that rolls upward on the monitor. Why? |
|
This is the result of a ground loop. Remove the ground, which plug the power adapter for the UTP camera. Be sure that floating the camera conforms to local/regional and National Electrical Codes. |
|
Why is the green light blinking on the active receiver? |
|
This usually indicates a poor connection along the wire path. |
|
Why is there a double image in my video? |
|
Faint shadows of the original signal shifting to the right, or “Ghosting” occurs when there is an impedance mismatch along the wire. Verify that the monitor is terminated with 75Ω (not in loop-through). Check for and remove any bridge-taps (another wire pair connected to the wire run). |
|
Why does my video look like a scrambled Cable TV signal? |
|
This typically indicates reversed polarity |
