1. A closed-circuit video system comprising:
- a plurality of IP devices;
a plurality of transmitter units, one of each transmitter units being electronically coupled to one of each IP devices;
a multiport RCM unit connected to a power source and positioned remotely from each of the plurality of transmitter units;
a plurality of coaxial cable runs, each having a first end connected to one transmitter unit and a second end connected to the RCM unit; and
an network electronically coupled to the RCM unit;
wherein power is transmitted to each transmitter unit from the RCM unit through a corresponding coaxial cable run.

Abstract
An IP video surveillance system is able to combine IP video camera transmission, control functions for at least one IP camera and other network equipment, power over Ethernet (PoE) power for network equipment, diagnostics and analytic capabilities for system management and monitoring, with an existing coaxial cable infrastructure, twisted pair wire, or multi-channel twisted pair wire (category cable). The system interfaces to a network and further provides the capability to operate at distances well beyond network standards.
