Video Baluns

Video Baluns have changed the game in the way you can run cable. With the use of Cat5 cable you now can run lines of video past 500 feet and have great signal. Also you gain the ease of connecting the cameras without the fuss of RG59 cable. In some cases braiding that copper wire so that it does not touch the main copper wire is frustrating and takes up time. We have video baluns that will let you run video, power, and data in on shot.


Differences between Active and Passive Video Baluns

Active video baluns can be extended almost double the distance of passive video baluns (up to 3900 feet with passive vs. up to 6000 with active). The graphic below demonstrates how baluns are added in a typical CCTV system.

Use Twisted Pair Video Balun Transceivers For Large CCTV Installs


If you are looking to install more than 4 security cameras and you like the idea of having one organized transceiver to manage the converting and signaling of your security cameras over a long distance, then you should take a look at our 8 and 16 channel video balun transceivers. We urge that installers use a video balun when they have to make cable runs over 2000 feet. In many CCTV applications it becomes hard to position security cameras close to a DVR to run the video signal too. These transceivers enable the video signals to travel at great distances to the DVR BNC ports. The best way to setup these up are to be near the DVR, or within 500 feet of DVR. You still will end up using RG59 cable to run the video to the DVR's female BNC inputs. So if you are looking for a way to avoid touching RG59, then you better look at video balun connectors. The only draw back to a video balun is that it can get expensive. Especially if you have 16 or more security cameras. The two model video balun transceivers we have cost under $320.00! So if you have a big CCTV installation coming up and you need to be able to run video past 2000 to 5000 feet, then you will need to consider adding a video balun to your setup.
