Do these cameras support video baluns? I'd like to nix the standard cable and just run data+power over ethernet.

I'm going to answer no with an explanation: The cables (1 is video signal (male) the other is power (female) are of a pigtail style hanging from the back of the camera to which you connect a similar 60' cable back to the DVR. The only ethernet on the DVR is for LAN or internet access. Whether or not it can be re-configured for balun looks doubtful as the menus don't include that option. If not, you'll still need the included wires to split the junctioned ethernet on the monitor side. I've just been doing a little reading on baluning and most of the concerns are about distance (camera to DVR) advantages gained by the lower cost of ethernet cable over coax weighted against power degradation. If this is just for the house it is really simple to install. I only bought the four cameras. They are arrayed along the front of my house. Drilled four holes (at camera mount), ran four cables to DVR, finally one to the AV input on the flat screen HDTV. Just hit AV and their images show up on screen. I hope this comes close to answering your questions. The only other thing I can think of is that baluning is more a matter of the hardware used for converting not the capture device itself, according to my reading. There are not individual ethernet inputs for the cameras. Also, the power supply for the cameras is another pigtail wall outlet. If I can answer anything else please don't hesitate. Found this link re customer support: http://videocamerarecorderss.blogspot.com/2012/11/buying-night-owl-security-sta-84-night.html. The language on some of the reviews is pretty clunky but is allegedly supported by amazon participants prog. I hope I've helped

as others said, no you don't.Also, if you have the cameras next to an Ethernet outlet, the cameras will run off POE, then you don't need any adapters.

Yes, they are. I have two of them connected to my DS412+ going through a TP-LINK TL-SF1008P for POE. It took me a while to figure out how to configure the cameras, though, because they ship with a fixed IP that used a different subnet than the rest of my network.

Yes but you would need to feed ethernet from the Powerline Adapter into a PoE power injector then to the camera as the Powerline adapter does not provide PoE capability. Alternately, you can feed power to the camera with a regular power adapter plugged into the camera's standard power port.

yes any camera just as long is analog with bnc connector or you can use and cat5 to bnc converter to connect you camera (Balun)quality comes from your DVR and your Camera.

Yes. It requires an Ethernet cable to connect to the network for both data and power. Also means you need a power injector adapter too. Benefit is that you are only running one wire to the device and it gives you a more secure connection compared to a wireless camera.

I ordered a bunch of these camera, it did not come with the cameras. Use white electrical tape and neatly wrap the connection. If you are doing POE, you will need to wrap the 12v power connection. I searched for 20 mins online and could not find anything made for these cameras that was a factory boot solution.

I'm not sure what you mean. With these you place an Ethernet cable between the two ends and connect one end to your DVR box and the other end to your camera. They worked great for me and provided a much better video over the bnc cables.

yes. you would plug them into the video in port on the lower left hand side of the back of the unit. You can look at the picture to see what I am referring to and if that matches your current set up.

this only lets you connect cat5 cat6 between the balun is just an adapter only no power supply = the power supply is something you have to buy if you dont have one with camera

Yes. Power Over Ethernet. It uses a special router/switch which supplies power over the Ethernet cable. Alternatively you can power the camera with the included ac adapter, but installation is cleaner using POE. Either way the camera must be connected to a wired network.

we only used the supplied cables. I think you may need a booster to extend cable that far. I would consider wireless if there is power available to the camera.

It means that you can power the camera over ethernet cable do you don't have to run 2 cables. Hope I have answered your question.

These cameras are connected to a network either by wireless or directly connected. They do not have a video out connector to hook up to a recording device like a DVR

This is not a router, just a HUB, so it should work with a security camera system. if you are asking for a wireless security camera that connect each camera to an ethernet port, yes you will need one port per camera, if not connected to a DVR or Receiver.In order to monitor the cameras over the internet, one or more ports will have to be open on the router. If you have more than one router, it may not work. Some equipements may work if the ports are open on all the router-modems firewalls.I hope I answered your question.

I would assume not as these are for converting bnc to cat5. As you know the cameras only utilize 3 of the 8 wires. 2 of the remaining 5 are for power supply. Unless you have a matched set of connections it is probably not going to work

You will need to run cables - however, FYI, even "wireless" cameras still require a power source.
