Cable Distance Limitations and Solutions

Description

When scoping out a potential location to install a security system, there are often challenges with cable distances. Longer cable runs can be especially challenging if you don't know how to work around these issues. Below are several solutions for HD-CVI and IP bases systems that need cable runs longer than the standard cable distance limitation.

HD-CVI Cable Limitations

  • HD-CVI RG59 1650ft
  • HD-CVI 75-5 2145ft
1280H(1280×720): 500m via Φ75-3, 650m via Φ75-5
1920H(1920×1080): 300m via Φ75-3, 400m via Φ75-5
