New cat 6 wiring in house

Yes, this is absolutely correct. AND! With the newest Wizsense cameras, the static cameras can alert a PTZ and start it auto-tracking. So, if I had a 2.8mm wide area camera covering my whole garden, or even the garden gate (which is maybe 30-40m away), it would detect movement at the gate and that would be good. I’d get an alert. With the new cameras, the TiOC can tell one or more linked PTZs to move to a preset position ie. the garden gate, and do human or vehicle detection. Once they lock onto the specified target, they track that body until it stops moving or it moves out of their field of view. And because it’s zoomed in, it’s a nice big clear image of the person or vehicle you’re looking at.

It’s properly clever, and it works the way an operator in a control room would. Only it never sleeps and it very rarely gets the tracking wrong.

In general though, I would absolutely agree, just saturate the area with static cameras and leave the PTZs for town centres and football grounds.


Very cool

I will look at PoC CCTVs as that is the advise im getting that I can run them off the cables I have currently installed.

@WJA96 the 2 you have mentioned in a previous posts, i presume they are not PoC as I did not see that in the specs for both cameras?
 
wow, this may be getting way deeper than I anticipated... so i'd need to run another cable to power the cameras and that cable would run to the fuse box?
 
Do i need to do anything to the other part of the coaxial cable, the power cable, when crimping, if im not using it to power the PoC CCTVs directly? Rather if I can power them via the DVR?
some advice on how/what tools to use to deal with the coaxial cable would be highly appreciated
 
Thanks
not sure what you meant by red/black pair, i dont have any red?

is crimping the preferred method or would twist be just as effective?

EDIT:
I'm going to have to buy some tools for the CAT6 wiring internally.... would there be a tool that would cater to crimp both CAT6 and coaxial RG59B/U?

Thanks, Should I look to purchase crimp tool (if they make them) which will crimp both cat6 and coaxial?
I presume there is nothing similar to look out for when dealing with coaxial cables in comparison to cat6 which needs to follow 1 of the 2 cable principles of pairing up?
 
I've had the following cameras suggested to me, based on my requirements Coaxial, night colour, mic and light:
DS-2CE72DF3T-PIRXOS
But its 2mp - should that deter me from buying?
 
hmm, so I've compared the picture quality with a 5MP and things like car reg plates are pretty much non readable with 2MP when zoomed in, in normal daylight, let alone in darker settings.
I'm checking with the rep what others they can recommend, but it appears all the features i want are not available on the TVI cameras, such a shame
 
I guess this is what I am failing to understand how this 12V set up works, do i need a like another cable to be fed through the same hole as the coaxial cables, and this 12v be plugged into a socket?
 
Oh i see so i do not need to get any other wires.... is this not an option people would normally do?
Would you recommend any you tube vids that show this, I would search myself but not sure what i'd be searching for exactly as i looked for coaxial set ups and they were fine, but did not show this power cable set up as what you have mentioned makes sense, I just need to see how the set up gets done?

-- EDIT --

i've come across this vid i presumably would need to do the thing he does at both ends?

Oh no, do you please any vids you would recommend as the way it should be done?

all the items you have stated I would need at the receiver end i presume?
 
Thanks
I have builder issues, and i sorta want the cameras in place so i can see when they come, they seem to come in the evening when im not there, and i wana know why they are coming to my house - and they are obv not working
 
Hi all, another **** up by my builder id asked him to run my sky cables and he's left too much on the roof end and as rendering taken place i no longer can pull on it, and its about 3m short at the TV end.
anyways I have googled and it appears i can just connect some additional wires, been to the local electrical shop and i've just bought TWIN RG6 75 coaxial cable, firstly i presume this is ok?
The chap gave me some connectors to put on either ends where the twin cables are being connected, i do not know what there called.
But theres like a thing in a middle and in my mind the copper from each end wont go through it, it will go through the normal thing which you turn on to fix on to the cable, but there is like another thing in the middle which both of these connectors screw onto and i dont believe the copper will feed through that its middle bit is white with a hole, but i cant see through the hole .... i of course cannot test this will work as my dish isnt yet up and running.... so hoping someone to guide me.... i apologise in advance for calling them things, i just dont know what there called and i'm hoping someone hopefully understand what im trying to get at
 
When i started this post, i attempted to attach pics but there was no option to - I've already bought the cable so wont look to purchase again, unless its wrong. If there is a way i can upload some pics please advise

EDIT -

the connector things look like this

Going to try to write this up better

so the 4 F-Type Connectors i can see the copper through them when i cut the cable, but i cannot see how the copper is fed through 2 F-Type coupler as its not possible to push the copper through


---Further EDIT ---

Ive just one ahead and attempted to connect, it appears the copper isnt supposed to go through - please correct me if im wrong, but i have another issue, the 4 F-Type Connectors, 2 are fine as the cable I bought is thicker, but when i attempted to connect the other end to the sky cable, they appear slightly thinner, and this means i cannot tighten the connector to the cable

i've pushed down on the thinner cables with a plier very gently and thats kept the connectors in place, i just hope what ive done is right, would hate to have to live the floor boards an all
 
You really don’t need to stress over this so much.

I’ll see if I can find some better videos.

Hey @WJA96 Did you get a chance to see if you can recommend any vids, i'm now ready to place my order for the cameras and DVR - just figuring out which ones to go for and considering mix and match of the Hikvision cameras, so maybe 2-3 which have audio but are 2MP and then the other 5 which are 8MP without audio, and hopefully all will work with a compatible DVR
 
Hikvision have just released some rather lovely 8MP/4K PoC ColorVu cameras with 40m soft white lights. The image quality on these is awesome. And I don’t say that lightly.

I’m expecting something similar/better from Dahua very soon.

@WJA96
These are displayed as POC, so to power them I would need to the 12v power distribution unit right?
Going through all the messages on this post again - and getting more confused.

Say I bought 5 of the above from cop. To power the cameras I would have to run a 12v power distribution unit right, otherwise how else can I get power to the cameras, of course I do not want to run additional wires to the coaxial, as you have pointed out the cable I have is a double cable anyways?
