By now, you all know that video baluns are
primarily used with security cameras, the main reason being that a video balun
can transmit signals, or in this case, videos, better over long distances than
RG59 Coax Cables. RG59 Coax Cables are the standard cables used to transmit
video signals from security cameras but with today’s technology, a better
option has arrived in the form of a video balun.
A video balun works, basically, by
converting a 75ohm signal to 100 ohm impedance for Cat5e
cables and back. To do this, two video baluns are needed, each of which is
attached to the end of the Cat5e cable. Aside from being more
technologically-advanced than coax cables, video baluns can also help save time
and energy when it comes to installation. No longer do you have to run coax
cables from the 1st to the nth floor. All you have to do is use
video baluns to install security cameras in commercial office buildings.
With video baluns, you have multiple pairs
of wires, which is something you don’t really get with other types of cables.
When you transmit video signals with Cat5e cables, you have 4 pairs of 22 gauge
wires and one cable can already be used for 4 cameras. To avoid interference,
security cameras installed with the video baluns should be powered by the
cameras themselves or use a separate Cat5e cable instead.
When purchasing video baluns, you can
choose an active or a passive
video balun. You can also choose different formats depending on the video
signal available. The most common form of video signal is the composite video
so you will not have any trouble purchasing a video balun that suited for this.
Cat5e cables, on the other hand, are better for extended signals in homes,
classrooms, commercial establishments, and business settings.
