Review on Monoprice 106878 Channel Passive BALUN by David Norwood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great BALLOONS for the price.

Great baluns for the price. In case you don't already know, this device allows you to transmit power and video from a BNC source to an Ethernet network. There is no conversion, so the device is PASSIVE and requires no additional power. This is a great alternative to running dedicated BNC cables as you are future proof (you can later convert the signal to high resolution IP cameras) AND significantly reduce noise over longer distances (50+ feet). Due to the design of the BALUN (see how one of them has a video jack on the thick part of the BALUN) you may find it difficult for some types of cameras where the video output is on the camera body and not a loose cable.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
