Here i am attaching pics of how to Install cctv camera with the help Cat 6 UTP Cable .

Follow below steps .

Requirement :-

1:  CCTV CAMERA ( Depends on you ).

2:- DVR .

3:- Pair of UTP Video Balun .

4:- Cat 6 Cable .

5:- Hard disk .

6:- LED / Monitor .

7:- CCTV Power Supply .

8:- Cable's like HDMI VGA etc.

1:- First step is we have to use Passive UTP Video balun or Active Video Balun ( for long distance ).

3:-  

A:-Took the UTP Cat 6 cable , Strip it .

B:- Below pic is showing that we had used three pairs for Power & Video transmission .

C:- Here we are using Brown white/ Brown Pair for Negative DC Power transmission .

D:- Green white / Green Pair for Positive DC Power transmission .

E:-  Orange Cable For Video V+ .

F:- Orange White Cable for Video V- .

G:- Rest one pair leave as it is .

      

 

4:-

A:-Connect all three pair as shown in pic 4 and also Color coding in step three .

6:-

A:- Connect BNC Male connector to cctv camera female bnc connector .

B:- Connect Power connector behind the Video balun to CCTV Power Cable Connector .

C:- On another UTP Video balun connect DVR thorugh BNC Connector .

D:- Also connect Power cable connector to CCTV SMPS Power supply .

E:- Both side connect UTP Cat 6 Cable Color Code of Pair wire as per shown in 3rd and 4th Step .

POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIVITY 

7:- Connect Hard disk inside DVR .

8:- After all doing this connectivity look like this .

If you have multiple Camera then use Multi UTP Video Baloon .

Benefits of UTP Cat6 Cable over Coaxial Cable .

First of all we have know what are the benefits of UTP cable over coaxial cable .For this read below :-

UTP vs Coax?

In today's market, one big question for installers in of CCTV systems is whether to used unshielded twisted pair cable or the traditional coaxial cable for analog systems.  Let's take a look at the pros and cons of both cable types.

Coaxial cable has an impedance of 75 ohms and is available in both RG-6 and RG-59 cable sizes.  The difference between the two is in the overall size of the cable and the gauge of the wire: 18 awg for RG-6 and 20 awg for RG-59.  RG-59 has the benefit of being assembled with a pair of 18 awg wires for powering your camera when an AC outlet is not present near the camera location.  Due to the heavier gauge of RG-6, it will transmit video signals for longer distances.  However, take care to use RG-6 which is specifically designed for the transmission of CCTV as opposed to broadband video.  Broadband video will utilize copper-clad steel while CCTV performs best with bare copper.

UTP or Unshielded Twisted Pair cable has traditionally been used in voice and data applications.  Its quality is determined by the category rating.  Categories 3, 5e, and 6 are in wide spread use in the industry.  While they are all 100 ohm cable, the bandwidth rating of the cable is determined by the construction of the cable.  To make a long story short, the twisting of the cable, and the separation of the pairs allows greater bandwidth.  While cat 3 cable can be used, it is not recommended for new installations.    

UTP has both advantages and disadvantages in relation to the more traditional coaxial cable.  

Pros:

smaller diameter cable  means easier installations
transmits video over longer distances
only requires one pair for video leaving the remaining pairs for power and or audio
lower cost
*can be used later for an IP camera

Cons:

most UTP cable isn't weather-proof like coax
using the additional pairs for power can cause interference (particularly when using AC) over longer distances
requires a balun at both ends of the cable run

The winner?

UTP!

While I almost exclusively use UTP cable, there are circumstances when coax is still appropriate.  Primarily when the cable run is so short that the cost of the baluns exceeds the savings on the cable.  Also, rewiring for future network cameras would have to be very easy.

Thank you
