What is Turbo HD and how does it differ from IP cameras?

Turbo HD carries HD video over coax cabling to a compatible DVR, rather than over a network switch like an IP camera; it suits retrofitting existing coax runs.

Can Turbo HD cameras use existing analogue coax cabling?

Yes — Turbo HD is designed to run over standard coax (e.g. RG59), which is the main reason it's chosen for retrofit jobs over full IP re-cabling.

Do I need a specific DVR for Turbo HD cameras?

You need a DVR that supports the Turbo HD signal and matches the resolution and channel count of the cameras you select from this range.

Turbo HD cameras

Turbo HD is an analogue-over-coax standard that carries HD video on RG59/coax cabling, giving installers a way to upgrade existing analogue runs without re-cabling to IP. This range covers 27 Turbo HD camera products, spanning the fixtures, form factors and specs typically needed for retrofit and budget-conscious analogue jobs.

How to choose

Existing cabling — Turbo HD suits sites with coax already in the wall; check run length and connector type before quoting.
Form factor — dome, bullet or turret bodies suit different mounting positions and discretion requirements on site.
DVR compatibility — confirm the recorder accepts Turbo HD signal and supports the resolution and channel count of the cameras selected.
Environment — match housing rating to indoor or exterior installation conditions.
Lens and field of view — fixed or varifocal lenses determine coverage per camera, affecting how many units a job needs.

Because this is a coax-based standard rather than a networked one, buyers should plan cable runs and DVR inputs alongside camera selection rather than treating each camera as a standalone IP device.
