Providing Effective Solutions for CCTV Security Applications |
|||
|
|||
|
|
The
video ground loop isolator has been specifically designed to provide a
cost effective solution to a common CCTV problem of multiple ground paths
or ground loops which results in a rolling hum bar or instability in the
picture being captured. |

What is a Ground LoopA
ground loop occurs when there is a potential difference between
inter-connecting equipment such as the camera and DVR and is due to an
imbalance in the power loading of the two systems.
The potential difference cause a loop current to flow between the two
inter-connecting equipment and as a result any interfering source such as 50
Hz mains power is picked up by the ground current flowing through the
braiding of the coaxial cable instead of it acting as a shield to protect
the interfering source from entering the coaxial cable.
See Figure below. The
50 Hz mains power or hum is then passed on along with the wanted video
signal from the camera and displayed on the monitor as a rolling hum bar |

Where to Install the Ground Loop IsolatorThe
Video Ground Loop Isolator should be installed at the CCTV Camera end by
connecting the BNC Male connector of the Isolator to the camera and the BNC
Male connector of the coaxial cable to the BNC Female connector on the
Isolator.
In a multi-camera installation it is recommended that a Video Ground
Loop Isolator be installed for each camera. |
