Does 4 Lead Phone Wire work with PoE Cameras?

Подробнее о видео

Wondering if you can use old phone wire to power your PoE cameras? The answer is yes—up to a certain distance! In this video, I demonstrate how to run Power over Ethernet (PoE) using just four leads from a phone wire.

I’m using an Avalonix Premium Series NVR and a PoE camera, powered entirely by a four-lead cable pulled from a Cat5e wire. As long as the wire is at least 24 gauge and properly crimped with an RJ45 connector, it can transmit both power and data to your PoE camera.

💡 Key Takeaways:

✅ 4-lead phone wire can power PoE cameras if it’s 24-gauge or better.
🔌 Proper RJ45 crimping is essential for a stable connection.
📹 The Avalonix Premium Series supports this setup, but not all cameras do.
If you’ve got old phone wiring and want to upgrade to an IP surveillance system, this solution could save you time and money. Check out our blog for the correct pinout design and more tips: CCTV Camera World Blog

⚠️ Important: Not all PoE cameras support four-lead connections. Make sure your camera, like the Avalonix Premium Series, is compatible before attempting this setup.
