We offer this <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Video-Surge-Protector-p/sp-s1.htm">CCTV coax video surge protector</a>.</p> <p>We also carry one that protects both the coax and power cable, but it is not yet on the website. If you need help with it, please give us a call on Monday at 888-849-2288.</p> <p>Thanks.<br /> -Mike </p> http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/support/topic/outdoor-security-cam-grounding-question#post-118 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:29:47 +0000 leonardoq 118@http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/support/ <p>I&#39;ve got an installation of a outdoor security camera with coax for the video signal and STP (shielded twisted pair) for the 12VDC power. To protect from lightning strikes I have grounded the coax shield and power cable shield to a grounding plate before coming indoors. What can I do to protect the power supply from an incoming surge on the power lines coming in to my house? The transient surge suppressors I see are geared toward protecting the equipment end from a surge at the main power but not from incoming surges from lightning. Any one familiar with products that protect from that end and what they are called? </p>
