We have a project that currently has RG59 and 18/2 at the cameras. I need ethernet for the new cameras. I know about the "Turbo" cameras, that's what is in there now. I need ethernet for the new (Turing) cameras, and they do not have a solution.

I used so Channel Vision products like 6-7 years ago, but they were continually going out.

Anyone have a recomendation of a reliable one?

Thanks!

I’ve used these a lot:

I realize it’s not ethernet over coax, but you can use the 18/2.

I have used the several parts below for long distance networking without powering cameras, however the Highwire Powerstar is nice since it shows wattage available at camera end with power led indicator.

The altronix part: eBridge1CRT  is working great at a job for close to 10 years but needs power at both ends :-( .

This altronix part is also nice : [Link: altronix.com] since it only is powered at head end.

Lastly, the Veracity Highwire Powerstar unit works great : [Link: veracityglobal.com]  but very expensive and "Base" and "Camera" side are separate part numbers.

Using coax to ethernet adapters definitely will add big $$$ to proposal.  TVI is pretty nice quality video if you can do a hybrid NVR system using both TVI and IP cams for integration and higher resolution.

We've had good luck with the Everfocus Palun, we use them all the time for elevator cameras.

I installed a Veracity Highwire Powerstar system last summer and can vouch for it. Pretty much just plug and play. 8 camera switch with 8 camera side units. Yes, expensive but I have had zero issues. Be aware the switch doesn't come with a power supply, it is a separate SKU.

We use NVT 1701U for cameras and Crestron Touchpanels when replacing old Cresnet wiring.

I've used these several times now. Work great.

Bump.....
Any other option since last post??
Also, is it possible to split a cat5 (2 pairs each camera) to a location and use two ip cameras with POE??

Bonded MOCA adapters? I used one to repurpose a satellite line that went to an awkward location. Needs power, and while the throughput and reliability was definitely better than wifi, the latency felt pretty high.

POE seems to use either the data or spare pairs for power depending on which mode it uses (A or B), while POE++ uses all four pairs.

While conceptually it sounds like if you can guarantee only mode A usage you could put dual POE connections on a single cable, I don’t seem to see any adapters that do this.

I have used W-Box and another brand, all from ADI. Those turds won't let me return any of my leftover adapters, even though ADI is the only place that sells them. Done with that craphole.

They worked when I used them.
