The customer for this project has their home and business building on the same property but within a couple hundred feet of each other. They were wanting a single analog security camera system that would provide coverage for the exterior and interior of both their business and private residence. To accomplish this, we used transceivers and baluns that allowed the use of Cat 5E network cable to connect the analog cameras to one security camera recorder (DVR) located in the private residence. We installed network cable from the security cameras in the business building to transceivers also located in the business building. Coaxial cable was used to install the security cameras in the private residence.
In order to tie the security cameras together into one system with the DVR (digital video recorder) and monitoring station installed in the private residence, we buried Cat 5E direct burial network cable between the two structures. With transceivers in the business building tied to the transceivers in the private residence, we were now able to have all security camera recording and viewing capabilities within the private residence.
Lastly, we tied the DVR into the customer’s existing network. This was accomplished with the use of DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service and port forwarding on the customer’s router. With this accomplished, the customer could then view all their security cameras remotely using an app on their phones and tablets.
