How to connect a PTZ camera to DVR or controller using RS485 Baluns

In the video below we demonstrate thoroughly how to use RS485 PTZ Video Baluns with a PTZ camera to simplify camera wiring and run video/power/rs485 data signals over a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable. We recommend using a CAT6 cable for runs longer than 50ft. All wire should be full copper, and not the cheap CCA or CCS (copper clad cable) that is sold on the internet. A full copper wire guarantees a good connection with minimum voltage drop along the wire.

Here is a list of items we used in this video:
