Back up Camera AGAIN!

[Stephen Birtles]

Just use what you have to to make the system work the line loss on
rg59 versus rg6 in 35 feet is inconsequential unless you have the eyes
of a hawk
we are not tlking high def here. we simply want to watch the rear not

Baseband video signals can also be transmitted over unshielded
twisted pair cable (AKA phone wire, you need suitable adapters for
this). At least Category 3 UTP is recommended to provide attenuation
properties similar to coaxial cable. These properties are sufficient
for using UTP in such applications as video to the desktop and CCTV
camera signals. Since most backup cameras are nothing more than CCTV
camers, and not 3 chip CCD's it is more than adequate.

For most baseband video application almost any well-made 75-ohm cable
will be fine. The main requirements for video cable are adequate
shield, and proper (75-ohm) impedance. If you get a poor signal
consider replacing the connectors. A normal RG-59 cable (or better)
is good to carry video signals (compsite video, S-video, RGB,
component video etc.) for long distances. For best baseband video
performance avoid cheap TV aerial cable, use proper pro-grade video
cable, which has much heavier shielding. RG-59 baseband cable can be
run to 600 feet, and the freq range is up to 3GHz. To sum it up the
original cable run by BB is more than adequate, like everything else
they put in the bus. Sorry for the rant

Mine works great on twelve year old coax with the adapter. Picture is clear as
a bell. I suggest anyone interested buy the connector (it's cheap enough) and
give it a try. If it works as well for you then you just might save yourself a
lot of work. Of course if you want sound then you'll have to fish the S cable
through.
