New cat 6 wiring in house

For PoC, IF you have a PoC XVR then you only need the coax cable - you wouldn’t need to use the power part of your existing RG59 shotgun cable at all.

For PoC this cable termination video is how I learned to do it. But I bought ALL the tools. I would suggest buying the special RG59 cable stripper though.

If you don’t want to buy the crimp tool then for screw-on connectors see this video where he also shows you how to split out the power cables on the shotgun cable (he calls it a Siamese cable) https://youtu.be/k6P_m7itbC0

Most videos don’t show connecting up the power because supposedly it’s ‘trivial’ to expose the conductors and either screw into a terminal or just twist them together (and wrapped in tape) onto a Pre-made tail.

Thanks for clarifying, so I'm looking on the https://www.cop-eu.com/ website and searching for Pco XVR it only shows me with Dahua XVRs... dont Hikvision make them - esp as I want the cameras you mentioned:
https://www.cop-eu.com/hdcvi-cameras-dvrs/cameras/DS-2CE12UF3T-E(2.8MM)

I will then purchase 2 cameras which I can have mic with and hopefully connect them to the same XVR.... which I hope will be possible
 
Thanks, i was told I would need to purchase a 16ch recorder to cater for the 5 cameras but wasnt advised on the playback...so 8fps is very poor based on your comment?
Do the normal recorders that were made/compatible play back at 30fps?

Looks like im back to the drawing board with purchasing analogue cameras and DVR.... and its way too late now to go down the route of changing to CAT 6 as everything is boarded up... proving a lot more difficult even with all your help and the others on this forum.... maybe i'm wanting too much from the cameras (to my defence its because i saw the IP cameras with all the features i wanted)
 
Yes, i thought it was the easier option, esp as that was what I was expecting with PoE... but it may be time to come out of that mindset.... i've gone through the posts trying to see any cameras you have recommended but I could not find any Dahua have an 8MP TiOC with alarm, 2-way Comms.
Also so I understand correctly are you saying the cameras: https://www.cop-eu.com/hdcvi-cameras-dvrs/cameras/DS-2CE12UF3T-E(2.8MM) If i run a separate 12V power supply I can get them same Hikvision cameras powered via the 12v supply rather than the DVR?

I've got an account with https://www.cop-eu.com/ but not yet with https://www.securitydynamics.co.uk/
 
Cop no longer do the Dahua range, they have moved over to Hikvision.
Trying to get an account with securitydynamics

I will ping you further on here if thats ok, when I can start putting together all the items I need to get this set up complete.

Thank you so much for all the help you have been great
 
HI All,
After all that, and mess up with builders - I have decided I will attempt to feed through the CAT6 via the coaxial cables, by securely taping the CAT6 to the coaxial and pulling the coaxial cable at the other end, hopefully this works as I'm sure the builder has not secured the cables down anywhere?!
With regards to which CAT6 to purchase, i firstly presume best to get 300m roll, any suggestions which to buy?
As I have been alerted to some new Hikvision cameras which have everything I wanted without the faffing around of power etc. via the coaxial set up:

4MP DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL ColorVu Fixed Turret Network Camera W/ Mic & Speaker- Two Way Audio
 
So looks like its worth paying the extra and getting the cable lee1101 suggested, unless someone can provide links to any others they would recommend?
This would be only to run the camera cables for CCTV - I already have the cat 6 running around the house for normal use (untested though)
 
I agree, hence why I thought I would look at some myself, as apart from the 1 recommendation of cat6 cable from lee1101 I did not see any others I should buy, you mentioned CCS cable from Cable monkey, I looked at there site and found 2 suggestions both different in price so I assume different quality:

Cat6 UTP Solid Core PVC Cable supplied on 100mt reel or 305m Boxes
&
305m Orange B2CA Cat6 Cable

So again I was not sure what was being recommended - I don't know enough details about what is good and what is not in cables so looking at data sheets hasn't helped me and ideally I was looking for the best price available. Meant no disrespect to you or anyone else who may have been offended, if that's how it came across.

@WJA96
I searched for your recommended 'Kenable' and found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26514742...store&ssPageName=STORE:HTMLBUILDER:SIMPLEITEM for £99 for 305m... again not sure if its exactly what you were suggesting, but thought I'd check?

If what @lee1101 has suggested is good enough and value for money of course I will go and purchase?
 
Hello everyone,

due to personal reasons this project never got completed, and I know its been a very long time, but I'm looking to complete and just getting it over the line.

I have my accounts still active with:

Security Dynamics

Security Dynamics (Europe) Ltd are a leading video surveillance solutions manufacturer and distributor
www.securitydynamics.co.uk www.securitydynamics.co.uk

I was looking at the ranges recommended to me a couple years ago by folk on this forum, and I was wondering if the CCTV are still the best options for me, with built in mic & 24/7 colour view:

Thinking 5 of these

HAC-ME1809HP-A-PV (https://www.securitydynamics.co.uk/hac-me1809h-a-pv.html)​


and 1 of these as I have a side entrance and can't see the above dome camera fitting on a side wall:

HAC-ME1509TH-A-PV (https://www.securitydynamics.co.uk/hac-me1509th-a-pv.html)​


I probably don't need mic in all of them maybe 3, would other options be cheaper, which only had 24/7 colour view?

Also should I be buying an electrical box for each camera, as all but 1 of these cameras will be going on, outside, I don't see it mentioned in the recommendations in this forum, but heard it in a video. Would folk here recommend too?

Thanks
