4.Ensure that the pair of wires carrying the video signal is
sent as a twisted pair, not a split pair.
30 en | Installation of KBE (Outdoor) CamerasKBN & KBE Series Cameras
Wiring Don’ts
1.DO NOT USE SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR WIRE, as this will
severely degrade the distance performance. Short runs
may be used with some signal degradation. Multi-pair wire
with an overall shield is OK.
2.DO NOT USE UNTWISTED WIRE, as this will reduce the
inherent immunity to interference.
3.DO NOT allow your installation to have bridge / taps,
loading coils, talk-battery, or MOV type protectors. Bridge
taps refer to a twisted pair connected to two twisted pairs
(such as an extension phone). Bridge taps cause
reflections as the signal propagates, resulting in ghosts in
the image.
4.If the phone company is providing the cable runs between
buildings, make sure it is dry copper (i.e. it should have
none of the following: dial tone, 48 V, loading coils, bridge
