I like this guy many security companies do not like to reveal tips and tricks of the trade I would definitely buy from these people

[jimwarship]

You missed one point,
If your hole is the size of cat wire, how do you get the terminator through that hole?
Can it be cut and re terminated?

[teksight]

Really great video. Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

I can tell that you are from the field. Life time invested. You know your shit brother!

Thank you very much for this video.

Please, in using RG-6/U cable for video transmission of up to 300 meters, which would be better?
A copper-clad-steel RG-6/U cable or a solid-copper RG-6/U cable?

My question is I want to run a multi wire cable from garage to house 1 common ground 1 wire per camera. These cameras are swann digital cameras adapted from bnc to to multi wire cable. Will this work?

Bought a cobra nvr system is it a cut rate system too.

[Hashi-twky]

Hi is a poe switch a power adaptor? And for a nvr that support 4 to 8 cameras does the nvr provide enough power/amp to 4 to 8 camreas or will s power supply be needed thank you

[huanceledon]

Have you guys tried experimenting on fiber optic cable to see if it is better.

[firebigg]

Some POE camera carry the option to be powered, at 400 feet will it work if I power it. I did a 400 feet run with CAT6 on a PTZ camera, the camera keeps come in and out so I was wondering if simple powering it would stabilize it.

Great video! What would be my options for 800 meters? What would you recommend?

good morning, i am having AHD 5mp camera hikvision, i found in market a cat6 UTP cable consist of 2 pair twisted wire plus 2 power wire. this power wire same wire that they put on siamese cable, can i used this cable for two camera and put video balun in both end of camera and DVR? thanks...

[goblingreen]

Thanks for the video. Any update now for using either CAT-7, CAT-7a, or CAT-8 for security cameras?

[kurtheitman]

If it helps anyone, I terminated both ends of a 250 foot cat6 cable (CAT6 23-AWG 100% Pure Copper Gel Filled Weatherproof Direct Burial Outdoor Bulk Cable, Black, U6-B250D) and the camera resolution was sharper than a 6 foot POS cable I had laying around. I was very happy I chose to upgrade to this cable for my external runs. I only partially buried one of the camera runs. Don't buy crappy cable.

[adrianflores]

I have a 4k swann security camera system. I need to extend one of the bnc cables. Do I need a 4k bnc cable? Or there's no special 4k cable? Will any work? The cable is 60' need at least 20' more.

good explanation. learned some new stuff. a quick question, I am trying to avoid drilling multiple holes in my walls to run wire between multiple floors. If i were to tuck the cables under vinyl siding to run the wire outside of the house would this be sufficient protecting for the wires also the balum connectors, are they specific to your product or can they be purchased for any camera system?
