Hey Guys,
Do any of you have any experience with the NiteDevil cameras that have a built-in balun, specifically the SEE220 model?
We have just purchased some new cameras to extend coverage of our CCTV system at work and had our site electricians install them. They have wired them in CAT6 cable under my instructions using two pairs for power and one for signal using the internal balun, all good so far....the cameras are powered up and working which was confirmed when each was aligned and focussed using a little handheld screen at each camera location.
Now I have come to connect up the DVR end and fitted a balun to the ends of the CAT6 and I'm getting no picture, i have been to a few cameras to confirm the internal CAT6 wiring is correct, all good there. The only way i can get an image us using the BNC output on the camera with a external balun installed on the CAT6 pairs, this works fine and rules out an issue with the cabling so its pointing to an issue with the internal balun. One camera i could understand being faulty but all 11 is a bit strange!
I have emailed NiteDevil and waiting to hear back from them, we purchased them direct so don't have an installer to go back to as we have a tech team in house (myself included) that looks after all this kinda stuff. This is the first time we have had cameras with internal baluns though so if anyone has any experience with them and can offer some advice i would be really grateful.
The baluns i am using at the DVR end are ZENDit BAL106 and these are listed on the official NiteDevil instructions as being compatible with the SEE220 camera although I'm thinking they might not be?
Thanks in advance guys and if you need any further info or pics (i know you like pics) please let me know.
Thanks
Dan
