Hi all,
I am in the middle of setting up a CCTV system in my home, and have a few questions about cable runs etc.
1) What cable is best to use to carry the composite video signal? Maximum run is maybe 20 meters. The cheapy cameras I bought have RCA connectors, but I suspect RG59 coax would be a better choice then straight twin core? Is this correct. I will be running maybe 4 or 5 wires next to each other down a single run, and probably a 12v 2A DC line too. Is this going to cause interferance problems?2) My capture card uses BNC connections which is fine for coax, but as I say, the cameras use RCA. Can I stick an RCA plug on the end of RG59 coax? Will it fit? Which way around do I need to connect the core/sheath?
Thanks, Lister
