Easily Connect IP Cameras Over Existing Coaxial Cabling
This article will walk you through the easy steps to connect Lorex's Coaxial to Ethernet Converter, a plug-and-play solution for connecting and powering IP cameras over existing legacy coaxial cabling.
Upgrade your DVR Security System
If you have a camera security system that is wired for coaxial and you cannot run Ethernet, you can connect our Coaxial to Ethernet Converter Kit. This enables upgrading your analog system to IP while still using existing coaxial cabling. The converters are small, lightweight, easy to install, and do not need to be connected to an additional power adapter. There is no need to run new cabling, simply plug the converters in. Send data and power over coax up to 900 m (2,952 ft) reach (performance and supported length are subject to transmission coaxial cable and coupler quality). This is a cost-effective and useful solution for legacy DVR upgrades and future expansion.
Coaxial to Ethernet Converters
To upgrade your wired system to an NVR with IP security cameras, you will need:
or
- 1x Coaxial to Ethernet Converter for PoE Cameras - Receiver (ACVRC)
- 1x Coaxial to Ethernet Converter for PoE Cameras - Transmitter (ACVTR)
Features:
- Supports long range power supply transmission via coaxial cable
- Provides one BNC coaxial port and one RJ45 port
- Equipped with two transmission modes which are 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps - can be modified according to the transmission distance
Installing your Coaxial to Ethernet Converters
Safety Precautions
Please read the following safeguards and warnings carefully before using the product in order to avoid damages or losses:
WARNING: Do not use power line other than the one specified. Please use it properly. Otherwise, it may cause fire or electric shock.
- Do not expose the device to lampblack, steam or dust. Otherwise, it may cause fire or electric shock.
- Do not expose the device to sunlight, humid environments, or high temperatures. Temperature rise or moisture in the device may cause fire.
- Do not block air vent of the device or ventilation around the device. Otherwise, temperature in device will rise and may cause fire.
- The device must be installed on a solid and flat surface in order to guarantee safety under load and earthquake. Otherwise, it may cause the device to fall off or turnover.
- Do not place the device on carpet or quilt.
- Do not place any object on the device.
- Do not disassemble the device.
Installation
- Connect a solid wire Cat5e or Cat6 network cable to your PoE Switch/NVR's "PoE Port" and to your receiver's "PoE IN" port.
- Connect the coaxial BNC cable to the "Long Reach" ports on both your receiver and transmitter.
- Connect a solid wire Cat5e or Cat6 network cable to your IP Camera's Ethernet connector and to your transmitter's "PoE OUT" port.
