Does the included cable detach from the camera? I am trying to figure out how big of a hole I would need to drill for running the attached cable.

You will want to drill with at least a 13/16" drill bit. http://i.imgur.com/HGEeSCj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/iOY2Hmb.jpg

No, you will need to measure the coupler and drill the hole at least that big.

No. The cable is fixed to the camera. Keep in mind that is not an actual cable but a female RJ45 (Ethernet cable) plug. You will need a hole of at least 3/4" diameter to run the plug.

The camera comes with a 12 to 15 inch cord. It DOES NOT detach from the camera. It runs right into the housing. Technically it is two cords. One is the network CAT5 cable, and the other is a thin 12VDC cord. They are both "together". Use either one to power the device.I think at the cable's widest, it is 1/2 inch wide. Maybe 3/8th.

The cable has a weather tight fitting that unscrews. I think it is probably about an inch in diameter, if I recall.

The kit includes about 10' of cabling for the video feed. However I've ended up needing extra wiring to power and ground the camera. If you're using it for a full size pickup or bigger You will need extra cabling (@least I did)

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

It is connected on the wire coming out of the camera. It is used to adjust it once when you set up camera and stay that way. It is not remotely adjustable.

The camera attaches with a screw from beneath. It is a quarter inch 20 tpi screw.

The cable is not detachable. One of the company reps emailed me with instructions on how to replace it if needed. Detachable would be better though.

The cable plugs into the shutter release accessory terminal, but you don't need to use the cable. The cable is there to activate the shutter release button built in to the side of the grip- handy for taking shots with the camera on it's side (portrait) but you can still easily use the camera's shutter button on top which would leave the accessory port open for your use.

Hello! Yes you must completely remove the camera from the clip to use. It does come with a nice tether cord in case you fumble the camera! Good luck ~ Studiohut

Yes, you may have to remove one of the columns to connect hdmi cable when the camera is mounted on the cage. I use it minus one column and it is very stable.

Installation Mounting bracket integrated into the camera base mount (remove outer ring of camera base for access to installation mounting bracket). Power supplied to camera from recorder via Cat 5 cable (packaged with the camera).

Both can be outdoors but you can separate the box from the camera so you can feed just the cable through a hole. Do this from the box and not the back of the camera. There is a small wheel that will unthread it and then you pull straight out. Don't try to turn the whole cable or you will break it. It pulls straight out after you unscrew the little threaded wheel.

Hi Charles, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Dash Cam release. It is a very tight fitting mechanism, so I can understand your dilemma. Releasing the camera from the mount just takes a little practice. As you know, the camera snaps into place when fitted into the mount. Therefore, it does take a little bit of force to "un-snap" the camera from the mount. Just make sure to squeeze the little lever that is on the mount closest to the camera before sliding the camera off of the mount. This will release a lot of the tension and give you the ability to more easily "un-snap" the camera from the mount. I hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

The thread will fit in the camera base, but you may find that the threaded bolt is too long to tighten fully. It is designed to accommodate the thickness of a tripod plate. Tightening this without the tripod plate may damage the camera due to over penetration (not sure, but I would not like to test it on my camera).

The cable is included. If you are upgrading from the basic camera you will need to use the new cable that you get. The connections are different from the basic cameras but still work in the Defender unit.

Don't understand the question. Do you mean - does the cable fit into the case w/ the camera? No. Little too small for that. But would fall out when you take camera out if it did.

Wish i could tell you, but mine broke before i could even use it. Best i recall it came with a cable that one end is plugged in the camera and one end to computer. Then you should follow promps. Sorry i cannot be of more help, best of luck. Dave
