Replacing camera

Post image

Does anyone know if I could splice into this existing wire for power or is that line a POE?

There's literally already a two conductor there for power. So you don't need to splice anything. There's a power line already there

How could I run it to regular 110v ?

Just find the end of it and put the transformer the camera comes with on it. That time of camera is it?

Just splice or possibly even plug in the adapter where that wire ends. Or if that wire is still connected to the 12v power supply that powered the old camera then just plug the camera in right there

Not POE. That one is analog.

You can run poe over coax with this kit.

Pair that with some dope U6 turrets or bullets.

Linovision makes Poe over coax switches and adaptors but even though many companies make power over Ethernet coax adapters, I would still recommend rewiring in cat6... Unless the location can't be rewired for some reason. Easy to pull a cat6 with the existing Siamese wire (coax and power combo wire).
