How It Works
Connect one balun transceiver to your CCTV camera's BNC output and the other to your DVR's BNC input. Run a standard CAT5/CAT6 UTP cable between the two units — that's it. The passive baluns convert and transmit HD video signals across the twisted-pair cable with no signal degradation over the full 200-metre range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are CCTV passive video balun transceivers used for?
A: Passive video balun transceivers allow you to transmit HD CCTV video signals (AHD, CVI, TVI, 4K) over standard CAT5 or CAT6 UTP twisted-pair cable instead of coaxial cable. This reduces installation costs by 10–20% while maintaining high-quality video up to 200 metres. No external power is required — simply connect one unit at the camera end and one at the DVR end.
Q: Which camera formats are compatible with the 205PVA passive transceivers?
A: The 205PVA passive video balun transceivers are compatible with AHD, HD-CVI, HD-TVI, and 4K 8MP HD camera formats. They work with most standard CCTV DVR systems that use BNC connectors, making them a versatile solution for new and existing security camera installations.
Q: Do these video balun transceivers require a power supply?
A: No — these are fully passive transceivers, meaning they require no external power source. They draw no power and contain no active electronics, making installation straightforward and maintenance-free. Simply connect them at both ends of your UTP CAT5/CAT6 cable run between your camera and DVR.
Q: How many units are included in the pack?
A: Each pack includes 2 passive video balun transceivers — one for the camera end and one for the DVR/recorder end. This gives you everything you need to complete one full camera-to-DVR cable run using twisted-pair UTP cable.
