Active Video Balun (Terminal Type), with Power, Camera Side

Active Video Balun, Female BNC connector, Terminal Type, Camera Side

Setting up security cameras in a tight space can be a headache. With running video lines and equivalent power lines, you can end up with a tangled ball of mess which is extremely hard to keep track of. The purpose of active baluns is to extend your camera set ups up to 6000ft. PI Manufacturing offers a great active video balun solution for your long distance setup. This is great for big complexes and parking structures 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. 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 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.
