Hi, These wires from the camera to the base are too short for my needs (need about 125 feet). Can I use longer wires and still have it work?

Yes you can. I Ordered the four pack of 150' extension cables and they worked great! (I actually had one of the supplied 60' cables showed up bad... it would not transmit video feed.)

sure, you will need a BNC coupler to couple the video wires together and the power wires (smaller one) will plug right in to the new wires. Ebay sells all of this!

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.Zmodo 4CH 720P PoE NVR HD Security Camera System with 4 Indoor/ Outdoor Night Vision 720P Security Cameras 1TB HDD Smartphone Scan QR Code Quick Remote Access

I could not find a reliable answer to a longer battery eliminator cable. I hung the camera on the wall outside of the door and drilled thru the wall to put the plug inside the house. In my case a garage. Not an elegant solution.

yes do yourself a favor and buy a few extra camera wires. i needed some longer runs and the wires that comes with the system are flimsy. its an overall great system though, and if you ever have any problems Zmodo has great customer service. one of my cameras stopped working and they sent a replacement out to me, no questions asked. hope this helps

I dont see why you would have to change any of the wires. All camera cords and power cords should be the same. Only the actual camera changes

Your distance will be limited through any walls as I had that problem and had to modify my system to increase the range. I have 4 cameras on my system and had to add different antennas to the cameras and modified the monitor, which helped me.

Length of the wires are about 3ft. Not very long. You may have to splice depending upon the distance of the "sweet spot" location.

I assume you are talking about the backup camera wires? If so, any small gauge wire will do.

No. This is a wired system. They come with 60 feet of wire for each camera.

Well it depends on whether you have to use connectors. If you are using a straight line you can get a few more feet than if you have to use a connector but usually the best video is with the shortest footage as possible. The wires delivered with it are about the max for perfect video?

I'm away from the system, but pretty sure each cord set for the cameras are 50ft. The local electronics guy at Radio Shack said I should have no problems going up to 200ft, but I cannot confirm. I recommend calling or online chatting Q-See customer support for a definitive answer. They have been very helpful in my dealings with them. Hope this helps.

The cameras must be plugged into an electrical outlet for power, that has nothing to do with them being able to record. The distance advertised is up to 500'. Without obstructions, maybe. Realistic, 150-200'. I added taller antennas on a couple of mine to improve performance

The cord on the camera is only about 4 feet long but you can extend it with a USB extension cable. I use two of these cameras on a golf simulator and I have an 8 foot extension on one of the cameras and it works fine.

Mine is installed on a pickup truck but I've seen some units come with a 65 foot wire from the receiver to the camera. I wouldn't recommend a wireless unit.

If you're going to use the wires that come with the system you would have to splice. Or, you can buy extension cords that can add more length without splicing.

The end of the power cable going into the camera terminates on a screw down terminal block. So, it would not be too hard to splice extra cable at this end for additional length if needed.

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.
