I used outdoor landscape lighting wire. It is very heavy gauge and is less expensive. It is perfect for this application. You can find it at any big box hardware store.

It should work inside or outside a metal building. The camera gets electricity from an outlet. There is a transformer plug with 6' cord included with the camera to convert 120 household electricity to 12 v dc which is what the camera needs. Typically an extension cord made for security cameras (50, 75, 100 or 150 feet)carries the 12 v to the camera and the cameras picture to the display (TV, monitor etc.) and/or DVR. You Need a TV or monitor with a yellow RCA input. Some camera extension cords come with a converter plug to convert from the BNC connector on the monitor end to an RCA input The camera end is just a BNC connection so you don't need a converter It should work inside or outside a metal building.

Hi Eric, I would find a better power supply, we installed 6 of these and 3 went out in the first month, they also onlyput out about 900ma per zone, we replaced them all with 12v 2amp single transformers on a power strip!We also only had 4-5 dome IR cameras per power supply. Rich

no problem here. Installed a year or two ago. Ran old telephone wire pair to the CMV IR-130. Supplied unit with 12 volt DC as specified. The unit will automatically turn off when there is existing lighting ( like sun light ). My wire run was around 50 feet, using 22 gauge wire, as close as I can remember. Note that the frequency of the light must be the same frequency as the sensor in the camera. I was careful to mount the IR-130 in such a manner that water would not run into the internal part of the unit. Note: the hex tool used to adjust the 130 is metric. I do not recall which tool, seems like it is a 3 or 5 millimeter hex tool, but do not remember which. Just be prepared to find the right tool. Unit has never had a problem in the year or 2 that I have been using it. Good luck.

I cannot answer this question because we converted it to a 12 volt switch to work the outside security cameras - It works perfectly as a switch and does the task I wanted it to do ....power is on to the camera you select ....

First, CCTV stands for Closed Circuit Television. Second will this cable will work with a CCTV color camera. It really depends on the specific camera. This is an un-shielded cable NOT a RG59 shielded coax cable. If the camera you have requires an RG59 Coax cable then try Q-See QSVRG60 (60 ft), or QSVRG100 (100 ft) or QSVRG200 (200 ft).

I am not a licensed electrician, but here is my advice. I used this wire to power a bathroom exhaust fan. The run was less than 15 feet. I don't see a problem using it for a low voltage lighting application for recessed lighting in your kitchen. If you use 12 gauge wire make sure that you are not stepping up from an existing 14 gauge circuit. I hope my advice was helpful.

I ordered a bunch of these camera, it did not come with the cameras. Use white electrical tape and neatly wrap the connection. If you are doing POE, you will need to wrap the 12v power connection. I searched for 20 mins online and could not find anything made for these cameras that was a factory boot solution.

Shouldn't be a problem. The infrared illuminator is built in and runs off the camera's power supply. The output is standard CATV.

yes. You feed wire to camera through attic, or if exposed run wire in tubing for protection exposed wire can be cut. However the wire will last a while exposed to the elements but not a good idea.

I had the same problem, until I realized that the other wire was a standard cctv power wire..same as on the cameras. Just plug it into an extra adapter cable.

hello, there is not problem useing 12/2 wire, it is also good useing that size for the futer if you want to use higher watt lights.you should use larger wire if you havea long runs.Brent

Yes this will allow you to run 12v lights, I used this for backup cameras and radio, off of a 24v source. In all technicalness, not a word I know, yes the source will last twice as long as a 12v source. 24v batteries are 2 12v batteries combined. Hope this helps!
