Hello,
I'd like to ask if anyone has come across connecting up IP cameras through using the existing coaxial cable by converting them using the BNC to RJ45 connectors. We have one connector connecting to a PoE switch and another goes to the camera via coax. I know PoE doesn't travel well through coax so it has its own power supply.
These are the adapters that I use: Tiiyee IP Passive Extender Ethernet Over Coax, 1 Pair 10/100Mbps Coax Ethernet Adapter Network Coaxial Transmitter Receiver Coax Camera 1Ch for NVR Converter Surveillance Cable Transmission Equipment: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
I am starting to see some issues with the cameras disconnecting every now and then, which I find to be quite annoying, however I suspect the issue will be something to do with the connectors and nothing with the cameras or the existing coax. One of the things I know for sure is that the connectors weren't overally expensive to buy and possibly not IP65 rated.
So I wondered if anyone has alternative suggestions that I could try, anything to keep the replacement costs down. I could look at replacing with CAT6 cabling, but this would be my last resort if there's no cheaper alternative.
Many thanks,
Ben
