Analog cameras receive power through separate cabling systems. Unlike modern digital cameras that often utilize Power over Ethernet (PoE) or batteries, analog cameras typically rely on dedicated power cables.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Dedicated Power Cables: Analog cameras require a separate power cable, distinct from the cable used for transmitting video signals.
-
Electrical Security Camera Cables: These cables are specifically designed to carry electrical power to the camera.
-
Connectors: Standard connectors are used to link the power cable to both the camera and the power source (e.g., a power adapter or a power distribution unit).
-
Coaxial or Twisted-Pair Cabling: While coaxial cable is primarily used for video signal transmission, separate twisted-pair cabling or dedicated power wires within a multi-conductor cable can provide power.
In summary, analog cameras get power through dedicated electrical cables and connectors, which are separate from the cables that transmit video signals.
