Are you restricted to the 60' length of the camera cords or can you go longer? Thanks for any help in advance.

Plug and Play cables come in 25, 65, 100, 150, and 200 foot lengths. One downside to using plug and play cables is that the cables are not heavily shielded (like RG59 Siamese Cable) so you may experience interference on lines that are run over long distances. It's recommended that you do not use PnP cables longer than 150 feet.

I ran a custom-made cable to a shed in the rear yard, about 200'. Works fine, but I did power it out at the end, only communication back to the Swann unit.

I could not find a reliable answer to a longer battery eliminator cable. I hung the camera on the wall outside of the door and drilled thru the wall to put the plug inside the house. In my case a garage. Not an elegant solution.

One of my camera cables was too short (it has to go around the house and through crawlspace), and I made my own out of old cat-5 cable. It is close to 100ft. Camera works well. There is definitely no 15 ft limit.

My setup only allowed me to take pics at 35ft. Cameras are the best in its price range and the service dept is great. Cant beat em.

Thanks for your interest in our product. The 60ft would be the best distance, more longer cable will affect the video quality, if you still want to purchse the 100ft, please contact us, thanks.

I have camera's as far as 150' away. I used couplers when I relocated main unit in office.

The cable for each camera is about 60ft, if you purchase system with hard drive from us, hard drive already installed, thanks.

The system comes with 6 ea. 60 foot cables. Maximum length depends on how much video quality you want to loose. I have put two 60 foot cables in series and it worked fine.

I found that to be a problem as well what I did was put it on my tv stand about waist high im 5"10 (it suggests knee high) and it works fine so if you are able to somehow find a sturdy spot to put the camera on (be creative if needed...I.e. Guitar amp is knee height) sorry I didn't have a firm answer but if it works by being creative why not go for it

You can get longer cables. I purchased 100' cables. they run about 25$ or so. great system

38 inches, don't think you can extend it, don't think this brand comes in another length. 38 inches works for me especially when camera is on the tripod.

You are welcome. If coiled cable is short for your setup, just get longer one with 2.5mm stereo coiled jack both ends. Very good zoom control.

The cable is 27 inches (2 feet 3 inches) long and no way to extend it. The lens piece, from cable end to end of the cylinder is 2 and 1/2 inches long.

Thanks Justin, I appreciate the feedback.Do you know if the cables are proprietary, meaning that you cannot use a longer cable?

1 60' cable per camera. You can get 50' extensions or 100' cables xtra. System works well, remote access is nice. Playback needs 1gb connection or be at console. Wifi or remote playback too choppy.

The main base unit and the two cameras have DC power adapters, just like your cell phone chargers. Main base unit has about 6 feet length of cord. The two cameras each has a DC adapter about 6 feet in length also, plus, one extension cord for each camera, also about 6 feet long. The camera itself has a 4-foot long cord (hard-wired) which connects to your DC power adapter. If its too short for the location of your camera and nearest AC outlet, you can use the 6-foot extension cord. If thats still too short, you may have to use an AC extension cord (similar to the ones you use for your Xmas lights). One of my cameras is mounted about 20 feet from the nearest wall outlet. I use the extension cord which I use for my weed whacker. On a side note, its been 3 weeks now where my main unit attempts to connect to the internet. It only connected for one day and the connection dropped and it has never reconnected. I'm 90% sure this is going back to Sams Club where I bought it. I hope you have a different experience with this system should you decide to purchase it. Good luck.

60 feet. However I strongly suggest you to buy another camera system and not this one. Consider Zmodo systems.
