What kind of cable is this?

[bertsirkin]

I purchased a Hikvision Turbo HD (indoor/outdoor IR Turret) camera on eBay. I already have 5 Hikvision IP cameras which I use in BlueIris.

I "thought" this was an IP camera - but apparently it isn't. This is described in the docs as an "HD Video
Cable". Can somebody shed some light as to what this kind of connection is for - can I connect to a router?

bnc connector, coax cable(rg59 maybe? cant see the cable diameter.

That is an analog type BNC connector for coax..The camera cannot be used with blue iris ....It requires a TVI DVR.

Thanks for the responses. Guess I'll be returning it.

Composite video out... most decidedly not HD.

As explained in previous replies it is a TVI HD camera, its simply not IP.

Ahh yes... my mistake. I assumed the BNC was plain ol' composite video. TVI is nice... but yup, not IP.
