If I am going to use this camera 200 yards away from my router and PC would the best connection be to run 110v and cat6 to the camera?

You will have problems operating this camera at a distance of 200 yards. The Ethernet standard states that the maximum distance between wired devices is 100 meters (roughly 328 feet or 109 yards). If you want to make the run work using Cat 6 Ethernet cable, you should be able to place one or two network switches every 75-100 yards along the route, but of course that could present some waterproofing problems for you. Another option is to buy two fiber optic converters and a long pre-made direct burial fiber cable, preferably 50 micron multi-mode. You could then use a fiber optic converter at each end (such as this one http://www.amazon.com/Gigabit-Ethernet-Fiber-Media-Converter/dp/B004FUUY52/ ) to directly connect the camera to your network. Another option is to set up a long-range wireless connection if you have a clear direct line of sight between the two locations. At 200 yards you will probably be out of range of most wireless access points. There is a chance that some (such as this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006M1PKWY/ ) might work up to 500 feet away (possibly 200 yards if you are very lucky) from the camera. Some of those wireless access points (including the one mentioned) can be set up in "bridge mode", which essentially means that you will need one of those devices near your computer, and another near the camera - the two devices can set up an extremely long range wireless signal, as long as there is a clear line of sight between the two devices.

You will still need to use a cat5 to connect your computer and another cat5 cable to connect your camera to the router for the initial setup. After that you will not need to connect via a cable.

I bought an adaptor and extended one of the shorter cables (75ft?) with a 100 ft cable and it wouldnt power. I found a 6ft cable to extend it instead (total approx 81 ft) and it did work so i would guess that 200ft would introduce to much loss to power the camera. Hope that helps...as a side note the cameras come with all cat5 cables. My 100ft and 6ft cables i used to extend are both cat6.

If you do, the voltage drop will be quite a lot, and the camera might not work. For runs more than 10 ft you should use an active injector / splitter

You need to either have a POE switch or a local 12v power adapter to power the camera. Most home routers do not have POE built in.

Laptop is not enough. You will need a POE injector. Power over ethernet. It gets connected inline between camera and laptop.

You will need an Ethernet cable. Why does camera not connect via wifi anymore? I had power issues with my camera and sent it to trendnet for repairs. I have yet to receive it back.

If I understand your question correctly, no. I tried using a Cisco PoE switch, then this splitter at the IP camera end. It does not power the camera, Cisco business tech support said it won't. The PoE switch "looks" for a device response before turning on the Power. This pair of splitters let you add power on one end of your Cat5 cable then split it off on the other end. Make note of power loss over distance. You'll likely only be able to run under 100 feet.

Hi, Sir, You will need a computer to access and program the camera. However, since it is a wireless camera, you do not need to run cat5 ethernet cable to the camera. But you need a lower power source to plug in the power adapter, which is used to power the camera

The camera is PoE and uses power from a PoE enabled switch, or one of Hiikvisions NVR's. You could get an injector if need be and install it inline with the cat 5/6 wire run to the camera. Hope that helps.

Yes. If the webcams are in proximity to the router, then you can have a wired connection. If your webcams are wireless then of course there should be no reason to purchase this unit.

Yes i use my to watch the alley behind where i live. most be able to plug into usb power source. Range on camera router 30'i've had no problem using this camera.

I have one Aircam hooked up at 90+ meters from the poe, using Cat6 cable, it has been working since September 2012, no problems whatsoever

mine is connected to my camera system with the coax siamese cable. any power supply from a security camera would work. you probally could use an old poer suppy from an old router if you have

So you plug the master power into your standard outlet and insert the cat 5e cable from that power source into your router. Then pretty much do the same for the camera, plug its power source into a standard outlet and plug in the ethernet cord to that and then the other end goes into the camera. Its power over the ethernet cable. Just besure to not use any extension cords or surge protectors, as it messes up tge transmission. The instructions state bothpower sources have a surge protector in them. Definitely a DIY job, nothing fancy, very straightforward. All the best! Its a great unit!!

Try connecting it with a different cable to see if the 100' cable is bad. Try different ports if you have a multiport POE injector. While I'm no expert, I would also recommend using solid copper CAT6 cable for a run that long. I have this camera on a long run of solid CAT6 and it works perfect.

I have a couple runs exceeding 150 ft.Total of 14 cameras one power supply.Be careful not to put the cable to close to an electric lineI was using standard cable but switched to shielded for that exact reason
