Channel Vision B-204 IP Camera Over Coax Converter Kit — Instructions

Instruction manual for the Channel Vision B-204 IP Camera Over Coax Converter Kit, which lets you upgrade analog security cameras to IP cameras using existing coax cabling.

Overview

The B-204 IP Camera Over Coax Converter Kit is a perfect solution for updating analog-based security cameras to IP-based cameras by using the original coax cabling infrastructure. The B-204 enables transmission of an IP camera signal over 300 ft. of RG-59/6 video-grade coax cable and supports up to 10Mbps of bandwidth. It's a passive device with no additional power requirements — by reusing the existing coax and power cables, the B-204 creates a more scalable, manageable solution without the need to run new wire.

The B-204 connects to any standard network router or switch and supports IP cameras, including Channel Vision's 2 megapixel HD dome (6521), bullet (6522), and flush mount (6524) IP cameras, as well as its 1.3 megapixel indoor dome (6530).

• Sends video over 300 ft. of coax cable
• Compatible with Category 5, 5e, and 6 wiring
• Small size allows installation in crowded spaces
• Kit contains (1) transmitter and (1) receiver

Connections

Installation

The kit's transmitter and receiver connect the IP camera to your network switch/router over up to 300 ft. of RG-59/6 coax cable:

• Connect the video signal to the BNC connector of the B-204.
