Notes:
1. For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. Preference for using the
same cable type for the entire distance.
2. Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption (up
to 500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption, maximum
cable run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the camera at the
camera side rather then at the end of the extension cable.
3. Indicators that your cable run may be too long:
• Video is permanently Black & White (even during day time)
• Video is distorted
