Use Cat 6 cable with CCTV camera for video output

cat6cctvvideo

Can I use the 8 cables inside the Cat 6 cable to get the video from 4 CCTV cameras. I find it very bulky to have one big wire for every camera.

I thought if its possible to use 4 pairs to tranfer video via Cat 6 cable.

Probably, with the right adapters, ones that convert unbalanced coax to/from balanced pairs and do the proper impedance conversion. Quality might suffer a hair, but probably not too much. In theory something like this would work, though I'd prefer "active" devices.
