Distortion

[Qualitech]

Hey guys new i’m new to the forum i installed these cameras Hikvision 2mp hD analog cameras with Cat 5 wiring. Also i split the pairs in the cat 5 installing 2 cameras on the same cable. One camera in the cable works fine the other camera in the cable has distortion in the night like moving waves across the screen but works fine in the day.

This is a typical voltage drop. How far is this camera and what is the voltage and watt need of this camera?

You must connect 2 pairs or 3 pairs of your cat cable for power. Try to get a second cable and connect it seperatly from the other cat wire

So You mean running a second seperate cable for the video and connecting 2-3 pairs For the power

Yes. 1 cat cable for 1 camera. Take 1 pair from cable for video and 3 for power. For example blue and white blue for the balun and other colors for positive and white+colors for negative power.
