I used cat5 to run video on my existing cameras with balumns. is the wire still compatible?

No. You need high quality 75 ohm coaxial cable for these cameras. The balumns won't pass the high frequencies these cameras use.

YES! I have installed the 8 camera set from the SDE-5001 System. You'll note the "POE" statements. That's Power Over Ethernet. It only uses 5 wires of the 8 wires in the Cat 6 cable. Cable runs can maintain good quality to 160 feet... sometime even longer runs.

Yes I think you should be able to. I have cat 5 from my cable modem to it and run wireless off of it throughout my business, and I run my wireless security cams through it.

This balun dosent support power, it's only used to transmit 4 video channels through one Ethernet cable. You have to use the camera power adaptor, or use another balun that supports power and video.

You should be able to plug it into any CAT5 plug. It shouldn't matter since it is on your LAN.

No as far as I know, rca connectors cabling only , no IP cameras management software included

sure, you will need a BNC coupler to couple the video wires together and the power wires (smaller one) will plug right in to the new wires. Ebay sells all of this!

I am not too sure. If the camera's have a socket for this ethernet connection then surely its possible.

Cat5 on runs this long for this video with power will have signal loss, you need to be running Cat 6 or Cat 6E. Video signal is too great for a run that is this long. I installed this using baluns at a collision repair shop and the longest run was 150ft. I wouldn't push it much further than that unless you have a powered repeater.

You don't need a router for a CCTV camera. Only IP cameras meed a router or a switch. These plugs just let you use Cat5 (computer) cables as an extension cord. Each of these plugs have a CAT5 end and a power plug end. You connect the power plug into your camera power jack then the CAT5 end into a Cat5 cable. The other end of the cat5 cable into CAT5 end and the power jack into your camera power supply. The plugs have RJ45 ends with a split off power jacks. Make sure the power jacks are the correct size for both your camera and power supply. These plugs injects power onto the Cat5 cable. If your camera uses 12V and you are only going a short run like 25-30 feet a 12V power supply should work. The longer the cat5 run the less voltage you get on the other end. So if you use 12V and a 200 foot run you might get 5 volts at the camera end. You would have to use a larger power supply for a long run. There are sites on the web that can explain it better then I can. So I guess to answer your question Yes you can power a CCTV camera with these with the right connector. I don't think you can send video over that cable though. I believe CCTV uses coax. I mostly replace CCTV camera with IP cameras they are cheaper and you can access the camera for a smart phone remotely. You would have to check with the Camera Manufacturer. I am running IP Foscam cameras.

Cameras are wired only 10/100 Ethernet. RJ45 https://www.q-see.com/files/manuals/QC%20IP%20Camera%20Manual_web.pdf

Analog CCTV cameras (like these) can use a video balun to run video over twisted pair cable (like Cat5, Cat5e). Many baluns have stated range of about 2000 ft.

Yes, as long as you end up connecting the Cat 5 cable to a POE switch, you will be able to access the camera remotely.

I Doubt it. I didn't try a simple Balun - rather I used the powered Tripp Lite B126-1A1 HDMI Over Cat5 Active Extender Kit TAA/GSA and I can assure you that it doesn't work with that. However that particular HDMI extender is great since the sending end has an integrated HDMI Splitter. These IR extenders do work over a simple HDMI Cable. Knowing that they use the CAT 5 Pairs like a Power over Ethernet injector does I suspect it will not work with a simple Balun also since the differential signals across the pairs are cancelled out in transformers (Baluns). There are active extenders that also include IR Extender features - like the Monoprice 110224 or Monoprice HDMI w/Ethernet & IR Extender Over Cat5e/Cat6 Cable. Also if you simply want to extend the IR independently there are lots of other choices.

I had the same problem, until I realized that the other wire was a standard cctv power wire..same as on the cameras. Just plug it into an extra adapter cable.

No, Cat5 wired connection is your only option to connect DVR to the router.

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
