how far away can the cameras be mounted 300' ?

I have ran those cameras over 400 ft in our industrial plant using cat6 cable and they work great. The manufacturer told me I might have to add power because of line loss of the power over Ethernet but I have not had a problem. It might go 300 feet with cat5 but we just pay a few extra bucks for cat6 and do not worry about it.

I don't think you should used more than 100 ft the camera works very clear night vision is good up to 50 ft

Total clear is about 300' but you have to derate that for walls and other obstructions. My camera in my shed is about 100' away and I have no problem connecting or streaming. If necessary, buy a dual band router with the new Wireless AC protocol. It's much faster than Wireless N and has a better range. Install a Wireless AC bridge in your barn and run an ethernet cable to your camera. That would solve any problem if you are greater than 300' away. The camera could work as far as 1000 ft with the Wireless AC.

One of my camera cables was too short (it has to go around the house and through crawlspace), and I made my own out of old cat-5 cable. It is close to 100ft. Camera works well. There is definitely no 15 ft limit.

My runs are about 150 ft. But coax is pretty robust so 300 ft or so should work fine

328 feet. We used this in a commercial application where the cameras were over 200' from the NVR (we just ditched the cords in the kit and ran our own CAT-5 cables), and the picture quality is outstanding.

It works and as for distance the further away you are the smaller the picture, so the answer is I have not tried it at 30 feet and my office is not set up for that but if I am 5 ft away the pic is smaller and therefore harder to see. So the answer is yes and no. Yes you will see something and no it won't be much.

When first installed one camera worked at 47 feet and one at 26 feet. Recently I had to move both to no more than 25 feet. The system is junk.

To be honest with you I haven't installed my cameras yet but I've installed three motion detector lights and they work in the 35-40 feet range so hopefully these cameras will too. I should have mine installed in a few weeks so check back a little later for the most up to date answer.

I had the same question. After speaking with people who were well versed with this issue, I came to this conclusion. There is no immediate add-on product that will extend the range any more economically than to just purchase a higher grade product or model. Ensure you have direct line of sight between camera and receiver and you should get good 300' results. If you need a lot more range, buy a more expensive product geared for such expectations.

45 feet is most likely too far. I ran a video cable from the camera to the front of my trailer and connected to the Transmitter there and it works fine.

I've been over 100 ft away and it works fine. The factory advertises 300 yards.

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

I have two cameras over 110 feet away. I ordered the 150' and 100' extension cords. Just make sure you route the cable correctly. The power lead has a male terminal on one end and female on the other. Don't mix them up. I ran two cameras out to our detached garage. So I buried the cables in plastic conduit underground. So far, no problems, they work great.

Yes, the camera can be mounted anywhere within the designed range for the receiver, i.e. I believe in this case a 100 foot range. You have to have an electrical source for the camera to run, so depending on the site for where you intend use the camera, you may need a long extension cord if there is not readily available electricity. You can use the receiver with any monitor i.e. TV for live viewing, or utilize regular video recorder, or time lapse recording system as well. I currently have a time lapse VCR.

My camera is about 50 ft from road and I can't see license plates. My guess is you would have to have the camera within 30 ft.

We used only 50 feet. Don't know if you can use 300 feet. Should contact Wilson.
