Hi
Has anyone ever used Cat5 to run power / visual and more importantly to this particular question ‘Audio’
This install is in a private house, decent DVR and cameras, max run 26 meters.
I’ve opted for Cat5 (reasons of colour – white) . I’ve been advised that the power and quality of the Visual will be ok, but I wonder about using 2 of the pairs for Audio, as I’ll have to solder on some RCA connectors to connect to the microphones
I may run the Cat5 in thin Trucking (wasn’t going to before) which now means that if you guys think that the Cat5 isn’t up to the job of Audio, I could get a roll of RCA and do it that way (dedicated cable for Audio only) .
It appears that there’s limited choice in Mics , spoke to a couple of shops and their basically selling what’s on ebay : item number: 320857413208
Thoughts / Experience on the cabling would be much appreciated.
Many Thx
