Review on πŸ“Ή VIMIP [8MP 1080P] Mini HD-CVI/TVI/AHD Video Balun CCTV BNC Passive Transceiver (4 Pairs) by Kip Robinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

You'll need to strip the wires if you want a reliable connection.

I bought these to replace all 40 existing baluns in my condominium. Existing ones are cheaply made and BNC connections are loose and intermittent. They sit much tighter when plugged into the mating connector and then no longer move like the originals. However, this website says that the wire does not need to be stripped. However, all of my connections were intermittent until I stripped the wires. Also, the pictures on this website show that the BNC connector is much better quality than that on the baluns I received. The inner ring of the plug is gold plated in some photos, nickel plated in others, and in all cases much thicker than what I received. This outer ring carries the coax shield connection and if it were thicker it would be less likely to wobble and become intermittent over time. However, they seem to fit well and don't move easily.

Pros
