Proception 8mp RJ45 CCTV Balun

8MP balun with a tail on one end is a device used in surveillance and security camera systems to transmit both video and power signals over a single CAT (Category) cable. The term "8MP" refers to the maximum resolution supported by the balun, which is 8 megapixels. Here's a breakdown of the key features and functions of this type of balun:

1. Balun:

A balun (short for "balanced-unbalanced") is an electronic device designed to convert signals between balanced and unbalanced forms. In the context of security cameras, a balun allows you to convert the video signal from the camera into a format suitable for transmission over a CAT cable. This can help maintain signal quality over longer distances.

2. Video and Power Transmission:

The 8MP balun with a tail is designed to transmit both video and power signals over a single CAT cable. This means you can connect your security camera to the balun on one end and connect the other to your recording or monitoring equipment using a CAT cable. This setup simplifies cabling, as you only need one cable to transmit both video and power signals, reducing the need for separate power cables.

3. 8 Megapixel Support:

The term "8MP" indicates that the balun is capable of supporting security cameras with a maximum resolution of 8 megapixels. This resolution provides a high level of detail, making it suitable for capturing clear images and videos, especially in scenarios where identifying finer details is important.

4. Tail on One End:

The "tail" refers to an extension or an additional length of cable attached to one end of the balun. This extension provides flexibility in connecting the balun to your camera or equipment, especially in situations where the camera or equipment might be located a bit farther away or in hard-to-reach areas.

5. CAT Cable Use:

CAT cables, commonly known as Ethernet cables, are widely used for networking purposes. They consist of twisted pairs of wires, which makes them suitable for transmitting both data and power signals. Using a single CAT cable for both video and power transmission simplifies the installation process and reduces cable clutter.
