Product Description
The RJ45 balun 8MP (SKU RJ45-balun-HDPV-8MP) is a CCTV video and power balun. It gives twisted-pair cable a neat RJ45 connection point between a camera and a recorder.
What the specs mean for you
- Video and power balun: one small adapter handles both the picture signal and the camera's power, which keeps the cabling tidy and organised.
- RJ45 connection: the 8-pin plug type used on network cabling. Twisted-pair cable is the paired-wire kind.
- 8MP model: 8 megapixels, or 8 million pixels per image. It is intended for high-resolution CCTV applications.
- Where it fits: new installations, or adapting existing cable infrastructure, provided the connected equipment is compatible.
What else needs to match
The balun only works as well as the equipment on either end. Before you wire a run, line up four things with your camera and recorder:
- Supported video formats
- Cable requirements
- Transmission distance
- Power ratings
The power rating matters most after dark. Infrared (IR) LEDs draw more current at night than the camera does by day. A weak supply or a long, thin cable causes voltage drop, which can show up as a flickering or black picture at night.
