If you're gonna buy this receiver, make sure you buy the matching transceiver. Both work well at converting and boosting your BNC signal over CAT5. If you have a long Cat5 run, I think your better off safe with these than sorry.

I used these on the ranch with the transmitters (see my review for them) and they work great! Good signal, clear, sharp video!

I am the manager of a 22,000 square foot training facility that contains complete security camera coverage throughout the building. Our training facility has several rooms within a long rectangular shape, so our camera lead runs from one end of the building to the other require an active balun to boost our signals. This receiver, in conjunction with your active balun transmitter works great! We have no loss in video quality and have had no problems at all with the baluns. ( I provided a similar review for your transmitter.)
