Installation
Longer Cable Runs
Longer cable runs may require an upgrade to RG59
Coax cable. First Alert kits ship with economical AV
cable that is designed to work well up to the length of
cable provided, usually around 60 feet. If longer dis-
tances between camera and DVR are required, you will need to upgrade
to RG59 Coax cable. We provide several lengths up to 300 feet. In ad-
dition, if you need to run cable for in-wall installations, then you may
require fire rated cable, FT-4/CMR UL approved for in-wall installations.
