can i extend the camera cables to the dvr with cat 6 cables. and how far can i go from DVR to camera

Cat 6 cable will work fine. Not 100 percent sure on the maximum for this system but i think i read up to 190 ft on the PoE.

Add a camera with onboard mic (Samsung SEB-1006R). Plug and play via CAT 5 cable (just like the cameras that came with in the box with the dvr).

We are so sorry we do not offer longer cable currently, also we don't suggest you to do that, because that quality of the video will become worse the longer cable you use, the cable that included in the package would be the most suitable length.Is below system work for you? It's a PoE system, it can use about 150ft cable, thanks.Zmodo 4CH 720P PoE NVR HD Security Camera System with 4 Indoor/ Outdoor Night Vision 720P Security Cameras 1TB HDD Smartphone Scan QR Code Quick Remote Access

The cable comes with the camera and plug into the short cables on the camera. I've put two cameras on the back of our slide in pickup camper. The cameras are over 25' from the monitor. I used 26 guage speaker wire to lengthen the wire. I even put a toggle switch in the dash so I can change from the top to bottom camera. The switch controls both feeds from the camera (DPDT.) It's not to difficult to lengthen these. I used Waterproof Car Rear Vehicle Backup View Camera High-definition Cmos 170 Degree Viewing Angle E363. Good luck.

Each camera (all 16) has its own cable. Having said that, some cables are longer than others so be careful which ones you use with what camera. The cameras that are further away from the DVR need the longer cables. We are happy with this system.

Yeah. If you had a non-PoE camera you would want a splitter to split thet data from the power since you would power it with a wall wart or something besides CAT 5/6. If your switch does not provide PoE to the camera you can use a PoE injector to provide power and data to the camera and back to your DVR or whatever. Hope this helps.

No extension needed .The power connections plugs in-line to the cameras power cable. The microphone is in the end of the 1 foot long 'pigtail'.It didn't work for me cuz my cameras plug into a TV by way of the DVR and for some reason sound isn't processed thru the PC connectors.

Power supply for the cameras goes thru the DVR, I would not think a DVR made by a different company would have the required power supply or internal wiring to support the cameras. I made my own cables using cat-5 wire and RJ-45 connectors, (i needed 200'+ cables) I used the 568B wiring config. On my cables. It worked just fine.

You will need to purchase an extension cable. I don't remember the exact length of the cable but it's not long enough to reach outside of the door. There are many security camera extension cables available at various lengths. I used an extension cable but I cut the dvr end so I could have the smallest exit hole from the door. On the dvr end you can re-splice the cable or replace the connectors

No. A "DVR" with Cat5 inputs is typically an NVR or Network Video Recorder, and would require IP cameras. Do some research online and make sure you are using the correct camera type to go with your "DVR".

The DVR comes with 4 cables that you connect to the cameras. The cables are all in one, power, video, and audio. At the ends of the cables, they are split so you can connect each one to the video port on the DVR and the power port on the DVRNo separate power supplies needed.

Yes if you are going to extend the cables you need the bnc connectors if you are just hooking them from camera to dvr then no you will not need them

Yes you can. please see linkVideoSecu 150 Feet Pre-made All-in-One Video Power Security Camera Cable for CCTV Surveillance DVR System Installation 1LYBut the quality of video will be affected.

I don't see why not. I think they use the same BNC cables. If you do up-grade to the Q-See QT5682 DVR you might want to go ahead and get it with the High Resolution Camera's, you wont be disappointed. You might be able to use your existing cables. You get twice the distance on night vision and alot better picture than the 420 camera's that came with your system. If you do up-grade everything make sure the monitor you use is a 1080 you will love the difference in picture quality.

Nothing dramatically different from one cable length to the next. I was curious about the same thing and tested different cables on the bench - verdict: little or nothing. The bigger problem is the wiring and machines that will be close to the wires of whatever length after they are pulled. And, the longer the wire, the more likely it will bump into something, or, be exposed to something, that degrades the signal. If all goes well otherwise, and there is some washout or drop out of the signal, by the way, you can often adjust the contrast, hue, brightness, etc. at the DVR for each individual camera to get things closer to what you wanted.

YES! I have installed the 8 camera set from the SDE-5001 System. You'll note the "POE" statements. That's Power Over Ethernet. It only uses 5 wires of the 8 wires in the Cat 6 cable. Cable runs can maintain good quality to 160 feet... sometime even longer runs.

You can swap out the cameras that come with it. If it is an 8 channel DVR then you can add up to 4 more.
