CCTV camera signal loss
CCTV camera signal loss
(OP)
Hello. I was curious if any of you can tell me the percent of degrade a digital CCTV camera will have over time. The reason behind my question is that I have a company that wants to replace my old cameras in a system to resolve dark site picture issues. It is my opinion that is only a short term solution and that the aging fiber-optic transmitter/receiver equipment should be replaced as well due to its ability to compensate for signal loss and over a distance. What do you think; I am crazy to think that a new digital CCTV signal will weaken over time?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Like any electronic component/system, the video to fiber conversion equipment will have some issues over time, but is not really subject to the same degredation as the camera optics.
In my experience, I have had more issues with old cameras degrading VS the fiber transport. The fiber transport usually works, or it doesn't.
I would say, if the entire system is being upgraded, it woudln't hurt to repalce the fiber converters. But... if the existing ones work, are compatable with the new cameras, and spares are still avaialble, I wouldnt take on the extra exspense if I didn't need to.

If the FO equipment is working (you're transmitting digital, not analog, so you're either receiving bits or you're not) and has the bandwidth you require, I see no need to replace it.
