Common Security Applications for
Audio-Visual Baluns |
|
|
Baluns and structured cabling, such as Cat 5, are
frequently used in security and monitoring applications, primarily
because: |
-
Baluns greatly extend
the transmission distance of video signals
-
Baluns allow you to send
multiple signals over a single cable
-
Cat 5 is smaller and
easier to pull and hide than traditional cable
-
Baluns help eliminate
ground loops and RF interference
-
Baluns and Cat 5
typically cost significantly less than traditional cable over long
distances

Example System |
Example
System 1: The composite video from two security cameras
is transmitted via two AVO-V1-F
baluns and Cat 5 cabling to a remote video switcher. The
AVO-V1-F baluns are
connected directly to the send and receive device's BNC
connectors.

Example
System 2: The video from two remote security cameras
is routed to a switcher via four AVO-V1-ST-F
baluns. 2200 feet of Cat 5 cabling connects the baluns.
Because the AVO-V1-ST-Fs
feature spring tension and not RJ45 connectors,
the Cat 5 cable shield must be stripped back so that the
four individual cable pairs are accessible. For information

Example
System 3: Two V1-PTZ-F
baluns connect a security camera to a security controller.
An operator at the controller views the video from the
camera, as well as controls the camera's pan, tilt, and
zoom settings.
