Q-see site says distances greater than 60ft need their own power supply. Are you able to run 200ft to one camera on shared supply?

That 200 ft shielded cable has 2 ends. 1 is for the camera(BNC). And a red end that is the power supply. The red ends are power. I have a 4 way power supply at my DVR to power up 4 cameras at a time. I also have a 16 camera DVR. So I have 4 - 4 way adapters plugged in to where I have my DVR. It saves on outlets. Otherwise I would need 16 outlets. As I get more into these camera. I end up buying more stuff. So I have it exactly as I want it. And in my opinion. It has paid off. They can be purchased threw amazon. I also have a 300 ft shielded cable.

I agree with Mr. Holley's and Ms. Hines' answers. I ran my wires about 200' to two cameras - both connected (with two others) to the same DVR.

I have ran up to 300ft and it worked as long as you don't exceed the current rating of the power supply.

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

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.

Dear Valmore, thanks for your comments. I did get the external adapter and another coupler that was necessary, and got it to work on the noted external power supply. However, I found the slow-motion options to be impossible except when working under open strong daylight. Otherwise, the amount of light entering each frame was way to low to do anything with. One would have to post-process the image files to increase their brightness and contrast, so I decided to return the camera.

u would need to purchase cable as in the following link to connect from inside CIB 65 Feet BNC Video Cable w/ Power Wire for CCTV Security Cameras and 1080P/720P Camera SDI,TVI, CVI and AHD

The camera does not include the power supply, power adapter or the video/power cable. Both of my power supplies are for 4 cameras and have an input of 120-240v/1.5A and an output of 12v/2A, so presumably one camera could get by on a .5A supply like yours. See "Acelevel 60 Feet Video Power BNC RCA Cable for Q-See CCTV Security Cameras" for a clear picture of the ends needed for the power ends (red).

The power cable for the camera is pretty long, I have my camera mounted right where the ceiling and wall meet and the power cable that came with my camera reaches all the way to the outlet with room to spare...if I had to guess, my cable is at least 8 feet long, 10 feet max?...should be no problem unless you have really tall ceilings and want to mount it really high so no one can touch it. If that's not long enough just use an extension cord, I tested the camera to see if it would still work with an extension cord and it worked fine for me.

50' feet is quite a distance. It would possible if you had a really good quality HDMI cable. Maybe. It's really not the function of this device to power such a long run. Even if an excellent cable would work at 50' my guess would be that you would probably be a lot better off financially if you used a booster or active cable as opposed to spending big bucks on a cable. Using a cable booster would also be a much more likely approach to success.

You sure can. Keep in mind though you will need to run power to camera. I used a good extension cord and wrapped the extension corn to the power supply with electric tape. I have it set in an outdoor cat house. Works good.

I believe you can, I tryed and it worked but it was just a test for about 5 min. But I would get three proper diods about 0.8A each and tie them together. This way the power supply is protected. Or run it with out and just watch the green LEDs on the power sup when the IR LEDs on your camera turn on. If the green LEDs go off then use the diod bridge. Ither way, this power suply is well protected so I don't think you can do much wrong if you just test drive it.

The power we use is 120v that was not the issue. The issue was that we could not get the camera to work with our network and it would not allow us to start recording. The instructions are very confusing.

Yes it can. I have mulitple runs done with RG-59 and RG-6. You will need to get the BNC connectors to make the connections. The biggest issue you will have is getting power to the camera as they currently come with a bnc/12v power cable combo. I have my camera

I had a similar need and decided to go with a different brand. The Q-See QS1018 12 Volt 12 AMP provides 1amp (default) or 2amp (they provide extra fuses) options per camera. Even so, I had 2 cameras that needed additional power due to IR counts and I was able to tie 2 power outputs together for 1 camera using homemade jumpers.

i had a semula problem, this camera needs strong flow of amp. if the camera is about 60-100' it might not be getting enought amp's. try a shorter connection from the power supply to the camera. and also if you are using a cheap vedio cable you well get line in the vedio try coaxial cable.

That's 10 times the original design length. My guess is that your voltage will drop off over that length of cable run and it mat affect either your camera or lighting performance - or both. What I would do is contact the manufacturer - they are very helpful and may be able to tell you straight away. My other concern would be attempting to snake this camera through a 1/2" PEX for 300 ft! I believe that you'll have a feeding problem with any thing other than a straight run - that is, any radius in the pex is going to put up a lot of resistance to the feed. The tighter the bend, the more problem trying to push it around. You don't have a lot of clearance between camera and pex walls to begin with. This whole feeding thing may be more of a problem than powering the camera! Is there any access point where you can cut into the pex and then splice with a Shark Bite or similar connection? Good luck - let me know how you make out. Walt

I guess you can. I haven't tried. I would do it where your dvr is first. Attach the two. Them hook up the camera to see if it works. And pic quality. They also sell 300 footers. The shielded cable work way better than the skinny black wires that come w the camera set up. I swapt all my wires out. But I always check before. On my property that's a lot of work to find out the shielded cable didn't work. Or work back to back. I have 16 cameras. And never had any problems. I switch out cameras also as time go on.

Your power adapter is not supplying enoughPower. I suggest to supply power to that oneParticular camera by itself power without Using any power splitter

Yes. Each camera comes with a 60 foot cord (I think it's 60). If you need longer than you can buy it on Amazon for under$20. Hope that helps.
