Using a BNC camera on a Cat5 PoE network

[tahoegeek]

I have 19 PoE cameras on a network, all with CAT5e connections. However, I was recently given a decent-looking Dahua 5MP camera (HFW1500TLN-A-0280B) that has a BNC connection. I'd like to try the camera and use it with my existing CAT5 cabling. Is there an adapter someone can recommend that will carry power to the camera?

Any conversion method will cost you more than simply buying a good ip camera. You would need a CVI dvr then pull a stream from there or use an encoder. Either way its a big mess for this cam.
