16 Camera Video Balun Kit With RS-485 for 12V 1A (up to 1000ft set up)

Video Balun Kit With RS-485 for 16 Camera 1A Power
Setting up 16 security cameras in a big area can be a headache. With running all 16 video lines and equivalent power lines, you can end up with a tangled ball of mess which is extremely hard to keep track of. In this kit, you get 16 video baluns that combine both the video and power into one simple CAT5e solution. This is great for parking structures and wide areas at a great price due to cutting out expensive and heavy coaxial and power cables. It is also a great way to keep track of which cable belongs to which camera and in case of future maintenance, you would only be switching out a single CAT5e. All the CAT5e cables meet in the server room which is plugged into an included rack mount video balun which converts the signals back out to a BNC for you to connect to your output source, which in most common cases, a Stand-Alone DVR, a Linux-Based DVR, or a monitor. Also the video balun rack mount has RS-485 control. The power is sent from your server room to each camera at 12V 1 Amp. This kit includes two rack mountable power supplies to power up all 16 cameras making the setup clutter free and organized. Don't be fooled by other company's video baluns, 12V signals drop at about 300 ft. So if you run the cables too far, your cameras will not have enough power to operate. If you supply too much power such as an 18V, without a converter, you will burn your camera causing the project to more pricey that it needs to be. We stand behind our video baluns completely, we manufacture our own video baluns and be reassured that we use only high quality materials ensuring our customers a satisfied, easy and safe setup. PI Manufacture carries several other video balun setups, in which some includes converters for longer distance setups. We are confident that we have the perfect solution for your project whether it is for 4 cameras or 164.Features
