NOTES:
1. The extension cable must be a single stretch of cable between the DVR and
camera. You cannot connect multiple extension cables to each other.
2. Extending camera cable runs beyond the included cable length may require you
to connect the power supply directly to the camera rather than to the extension
cable.
3. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:
• Camera loses video when switching to night vision.
• Video is permanently black & white (even during day time).
• Video is unclear, soft, or distorted.
