📹 Upgraded VIMVIP 4 Pairs Mini CCTV BNC HD-CVI/TVI/AHD Passive Video Balun Transceiver with Split Joint Review

Today's install required all 8 to work. 2 were broken. used good balances to determine that 2 are definitely in error. This is my third order (I think) of this particular one and this is the first issue I've had. I think next time I'll try someone else.

I installed 4 security cameras a long way from the DVR and my duct wasn't big enough to run 4 separate RG59 Siamese cables through it so I ran a CAT6 and put them together used with a 12 volt power cord. A few months later they are working great. All cameras are at least 1080P and one of them is a 5MP camera and all have great pictures through these baluns.

I installed 4 surveillance cameras far away from the DVR and my channel wasn't big enough to pass 4 separate RG59 Siamese cables through, so I ran a CAT6 and used them together with a 12 volt power cord. A few months later they are working great. All cameras are at least 1080P and one of them is a 5MP camera and all have great pictures through these baluns.

This item worked but the balun has no positive or negative markings. The connectors are color-coded in red and black. You might think that red is positive and black is negative. It wasn't like that. Reverse polarity. Caused troubleshooting time that costs money. Now that I know, that shouldn't be a problem. This will be a problem for anyone who comes after me to troubleshoot.

Pretty decent baluns for the money. In my application, where I replaced the SD cameras with the new TVI and AHD cameras, they all worked fine at relatively short ranges (<100ft). They work fine once you put the wire in there. The connector cable is a nice change from the one-piece BNC connector on one end and the balun connector block on the other end that I used previously. This makes it easier to connect in the narrow back of the DVR. I will buy more as I add more cameras.
