Why Choose the ESCAM 215PVD?
Running coaxial cable through walls and ceilings is expensive and labour-intensive. The ESCAM 215PVD lets you use readily available, low-cost CAT5 or CAT6 UTP cable to carry high-definition CCTV video — cutting material costs and installation time without sacrificing image quality. Its passive, plug-and-play design means no configuration is needed; simply connect your camera and DVR, and you're up and running.
