Can I use 150 ft cables instead of 60 ft cables for the DVR-camera connection? Do you also have power suply for the cameras?

yes, you can go a long distance but the power supply should only be 60 ft from camera and each power supply in the kit is intended to supply power to 4 camera's, so you may have to buy more power supplies for that reason, also the cables that came in the kit is not shielded, if you are going to run in walls they should be shielded cables. You can also buy the cable in bulk (Q-See QS59500) and run the length you need, but you will have it buy and install the BNC Compression Connectors (Paladin Tools 9731 Sealtite) and power pigtails (Q-SEE QSDCPG16) on the cables

The cable that is typically used to install these cameras has two leads... one for video and one for power. You would hook the power supply to the other end of the cable by your DVR or PC.

I don't see why not. I think they use the same BNC cables. If you do up-grade to the Q-See QT5682 DVR you might want to go ahead and get it with the High Resolution Camera's, you wont be disappointed. You might be able to use your existing cables. You get twice the distance on night vision and alot better picture than the 420 camera's that came with your system. If you do up-grade everything make sure the monitor you use is a 1080 you will love the difference in picture quality.

Sergio,Any Ethernet cable will do. You don't have to use the cables supplied with the DVR. Category 5 ethernet cables will do, but I'd recommend Category 6 ethernet for better shielding and future camera improvements. We're really lucky we don't have to run both power and signal cables to the cameras. This unit uses something called POE or Power Over Ethernet to provide the power the camera needs.

Using a standard all in one RCA video and power cable, the camera will be powered back at the video connection end. At the video connection end which will connect to your DVR or monitor you will need a 500mA DC power supply.

We are so sorry we do not offer longer cable currently, also we don't suggest you to do that, because that quality of the video will become worse the longer cable you use, the cable that included in the package would be the most suitable length. Is below system work for you? It's a PoE system, it can use about 150ft cable, thanks. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I2GNBZA

I used monoprice redmere technology cables.at 60ft they worked without a power splitter perfectly, but I do have a power splitteron just for safety..

Yes, they are 65-feet long (for the 21031 system). Each camera has a set of cables - one power and one video feed. So there is no need to have a power outlet by each camera. You will need four plugs wherever they end up at - two for the power (each adapter handles four cameras, one for the DVR, and one for a monitor to help you set it up.

The outlets you mention: are the power supplies for the cameras on the DVR end of the cables, or at the camera end with the power supplies plugged into those outlets?Possibly, if the power supplies are plugged in at the camera end, there may be some ground loop situation. Is the interference just a blurriness or with moving diagonal lines? Are the cameras using shielded coax as for non HD cameras or are they fed by LAN Cat 5 or 6 cables as Hi Def Cameras use? 150 feet is not a lot, as I have 2 runs of 275 feet of Siamese coax cable feeding the cameras power from the DVR end for my non hi def cameras, and the video is quite good.

Yes each camera has a cable to connect it to the dvr. I am not sure of the length of the cable as I have not hooked this system up yet. Maybe check the Lorex website to see if it will tell you the length of the cables included. (probably 60')

Yes, I bought them for exactly that reason, I bought some longer cords to connect cameras that were a longer distance than the 60 foot cables that come with them, so I bought these to connect to 60 footers I had left over, work perfect, the power connects without any adapters (found this out the hard way, bought the connectors that did not work, then discovered they just plug in to each other!)

no, they get there power from the DVR, by way of the cable that runs from DVR to the cameras.

Yes if you are going to extend the cables you need the bnc connectors if you are just hooking them from camera to dvr then no you will not need them

Maybe. I bought a 1TB USB external hard drive for this purpose. Biggest problem is the delay from hitting record or pause while watching the OTA program. The external drive is powered by the 150 and it needs time to spin up and establish communication. Perhaps if the external HD were powered by and external source (not the 150) it would work better. There are other features on my DVR that are not included in the 150 PVR.

Yes, you can get 50ft. of security camera cable at ebay for $8.98. If you need 100Ft. get two.

The cables are 60' mine also came with connectors so they could be hooked together. the cables worked on my 8 camera QSee DVR.
