No need to cry, Cracker.

Oh, really? Heh, heh, heh. Read on, grass-toker.

You're a relative newcomer, Cracker. Screw-on BNC connectors have been around
for many years. While not ideal they are in use and
they are viable for *average* quality CCTV.

You're thinking of their "Coaxitron" system but it's far from the only one
around. You lack experience and knowledge not only of
the name of the product but of the popularity of the medium among professional
installers.
That's because you've seen so little CCTV. Bosch makes a well-known (well,
among CCTV ionstallers it's well known; you say you
never saw it though) coax PTZ transmission system.
Baluns are also commonly used to convert a data signal for transmission over
coax.
Axis is another company whose PTZ cameras can be controlled over coax. In fact,
the same coax can be used for simultaneous PTZ and
video transmission.
Muxlab is yet another well known maker of baluns for PTZ+video over coax.
I sell most of these brands online so, unlike the pugnacious idiot who posted
above, I actually know about them.

No, moron. You woulkd not use modems. You (well, not you actually but a
professional installer or a DIYer) could use balums.

In your zeal to squeal you seem not to have even finished reading my post before
demonstrating your lack of knowledge. As I said in
my initial reply, "If it's a lengthy cable run your customer might be happier if
you first consider sending the PTZ via that extra
coax. It works well when properly set up and it can be a time saver for you."
The meaning should be clear to anyone capable of
thought (you might want to hire someone to help you out here) that it may be
more economical to use a PTZ up-the-coax solution than
to run new cable. The type of cable isn't so much the issue since coax and CAT5
are of similar cost. It's an application specific
question which the OP will need to assess for himself.

Some folks run 2 cables when they only need one in case they need another for a
second camera later. Since the cable itself is
usually much less expensive than the labor to pull a new one later, that can be
a good thing.

It wouldn't matter anyway. You've never been sober long enough to finish the
class.
