Repair analog wire

[Breakrellom]

Someone cut my one of my cameras, can I repair it or should I just cut my losses and get a new one?

Is that the BNC cable in your hand or the camera's wire?

What led to the camera cutting! Need the gossip!

Looks like it got pulled on

You can splice them, just make sure you get them back correct! if you reverse the dc polarity, it will burn up the camera.
Then have to seal enough to be outside.

Time for conduit and junction boxes.. and more cameras...

Could you? Yes.

Would I? Not unless it's an expensive camera to replace.

He cut it and realized there was more to cut and pulled

Oh no I know who it was, I have a garage camera system and house camera system and he realized when he looked up to see another camera on him then run once he saw what was in my hand when I came out, unfortunately I live in New Jersey so I let it be

I live 5 streets over from “most dangerous city in America” being Camden, Nj so who knows, I haven’t pissed in anyone’s cereal. TBD, I’ll let you know if I find out lol

There wouldn’t be any interference issues? Should I solder or just splice shrink wrap and seal would do?

I have seen a splice where there was no shield for close to 6 inches, and it still worked.
I have spliced them where it's closer to 1/2" of unshielded and had no problems. I would solder to cut down on corrosion.
I had a pack rat problem in one of the pole barns, and they kept chewing the wires. I spliced them so many times
I really wondered why they worked. Eventually the bait worked and the rats were gone. Then I replaced the wires with
cat 5 and used balum on each end to convert to balanced pair. Works great.
