I was recently involved in upgrading the system and installing PoE microseven cameras and moving a currently unused octal/LWDAQ driver/attena set up into an existing faraday to up the number of recording slots.
Something caught my eye when I was looking on your website. Specifically here:
https://www.opensourceinstruments.com/E ... 7/SCT.html
and here:
http://www.bndhep.net/Electronics/LWDAQ ... t%20Cables
and it is on the use of ethernet cables and LWDAQ cables.
Am I right in thinking that from the back of the LWDAQ driver to the Octal it should be a specific LWDAQ cable. Firstly, are these available for purchase and if so can you quote me for 5 of these?
The second question i have is about ethernet cables to that allow power and data transfer to/from the cameras. We currently have shielded cat6 ethernet cables going from the switch to the ethernet block outside the canopy. Shielded cat 5e cables are contact the ports on the inside and connect to the camera. I note on your website that it says that ethernet can/should be unshielded outside the canopy. Is there a problem with running shielded ones?
