Cat 5 Camera Solution Overview
The Cat 5 Camera Solution consists of a Cat 5 Camera Module, RJ-45 terminated cameras, and peripheral
devices such as modulators and quad processors.
The Cat 5 Camera module can support up to 4 cameras through the use of an onboard tunable sequencer,
and is compatible with single and multi-channel modulators. The camera module also provides power to the
camera over the Cat 5, further reducing the number of installed cables.
The camera solution provides four levels of camera offerings: a color weatherproof bullet camera, a
weatherproof black and white bullet camera, a weatherproof infrared black and white camera and an indoor
black and white mini camera. Audio can be added to any of the cameras by utilizing the Cat 5 Camera
mounting wall plate (included with select cameras) with the Cat 5 Camera Microphone.

Example 1:
Modulating Multiple Cameras
This drawing shows 4 cameras modulated
each on their own channel. It also shows
how to modulate additional devices, such as
DVDs and VCRs, along with the Cat 5
Cameras. Cable TV or off air antenna could
be added in this application by plugging the
main cable feed into the 2 x 2 Video
Amplifier Module using the port labeled
“CATV/ANT”. These broadcast signals
would be combined with the modulated
channels (modulated channels must be set
to “open” channels which are not used by
the CATV or off-air provider).
Example 2:
Sequencing Cameras
This drawing shows 4
cameras sequenced on a
single channel.This is
accomplished by using the
built in tunable sequencer
output on the Cat 5
Camera module.The
sequencer can be tuned
to switch between
cameras at intervals between 1 and 30 seconds
(approximately).
Example 3:
Sequencing & Modulating plus Audio
This drawing shows 4
cameras sequenced
on a single channel,
but in addition, one
camera is modulated
individually with audio
on a second channel
(ex: the front door).
The Cat 5 to RCA
cable is required to
supply audio to the
modulator.
