Is there a maximum cable length for power/video using siamese bcn cables? I would like add a camera 750ft from the DVR box to the front gate.

I think the maximum length of bnc cables are 656 feet. You may have to look at a wireless option. http://www.ehow.com/decision_6867184_long-can-run-bnc-cable_.html

Yes.. its using BCN cables with the power connector, just like the siamese ones. it works great. My only mistake I made when buying this unit was not selecting from a seller I didnt have to pay tax.

uses standard power and video connectors like other CCTV cameras. However, you can buy a balun which will carry video and power over a cat5 cable (in fact, a cat5 cable will support up to four cameras and power). I use a number of these baluns. They work fine. Amazon sells a number of them. btw, this camera is pretty large and heavy so it needs a secure mount.

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.

I have a couple runs exceeding 150 ft.Total of 14 cameras one power supply.Be careful not to put the cable to close to an electric lineI was using standard cable but switched to shielded for that exact reason

you can use a cat6 cable up to 750 and it will work also you need a Balun. converts from copper to BNC. the cat6 cable has 8 copper cable so it provides power video data.

Yes, they are 65-feet long (for the 21031 system). Each camera has a set of cables - one power and one video feed. So there is no need to have a power outlet by each camera. You will need four plugs wherever they end up at - two for the power (each adapter handles four cameras, one for the DVR, and one for a monitor to help you set it up.

I have two cameras over 110 feet away. I ordered the 150' and 100' extension cords. Just make sure you route the cable correctly. The power lead has a male terminal on one end and female on the other. Don't mix them up. I ran two cameras out to our detached garage. So I buried the cables in plastic conduit underground. So far, no problems, they work great.

The camera cord is about 45 inches. This connects to the AC adapter which is 6 foot. Also, I find tech support helpful and the system operations as expected. Advise limiting the distance between the DVR and the camera for reception purposes.

I bought an adaptor and extended one of the shorter cables (75ft?) with a 100 ft cable and it wouldnt power. I found a 6ft cable to extend it instead (total approx 81 ft) and it did work so i would guess that 200ft would introduce to much loss to power the camera. Hope that helps...as a side note the cameras come with all cat5 cables. My 100ft and 6ft cables i used to extend are both cat6.

I have a DC power black and white security camera and I do not have a problem with these cables. The length is great and I hook it to an old analog tv with no problems.

The cables are not marked with the AWG size. The video and power are combined in a very single small diameter cable. The following: 50' Black CCTV Camera Siamese Coax Cable with Power Wire is a much better cable.

From the description, it sounds like standard "siamese cables" are provided, which contain both DC and video wires in a single sheath. It's what virtually all analog CCTV camera systems use.

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. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I2GNBZA

i have already installed the cameras so i dont know how long they really are.. but i'd check on swann's webpage.. i remember reading about cable lenghts... they are pretty long should be around 15 meters...(sorry i dont know how many feet)

It should come with four 60ft BNC cables for each camera. You can purchase other cables from 25ft up to 150ft through Amazon. If your just setting up for your house then the 60ft should work. I would suggest checking out the cameras when the package arrives. Hook them up and make sure they work. What I can suggest to you is to pick up some cameras that have a higher TVL (Television Lines). Like a 400TVL to 800TVL which improves the quality of the video you're seeing. You could buy the DVR by itself, the cameras separate, which some of the cameras come with 50ft BNC cables.

Yes, have to be careful of cable footage to your device. Up to 75 ft worked fine
