I want to mount the camera on a gate system which is about 800' of wiring back to the house. What (if any) issues can I expect to have?

That might be a far distance. You connect the camera to a box to an outlet. The box sends the info wirelessly to another box connected to the router. From there, it goes into their server to your account. I think it's too far to send the info. I think it's better to be hard wired if it's that far away and that distance to be covered.

800' probably exceeds the limits of the IP Networking and power (PoE) provided. More importantly, the vendor has discontinued this product, so support is extremely limited. If you can return it if it doesn't work, great. If it works, buy a backup while you can.

Even though the camera is rated as suitable for outdoor I wonder how well it will stand up to the elements. Also, I think 800' exceeds the cabling standards for Ethernet by a wide margin but you should check on this. I think you may need to go with a commercial grade system.

If you do, the voltage drop will be quite a lot, and the camera might not work. For runs more than 10 ft you should use an active injector / splitter

Not sure all of my cameras are mounted at least 8' off the ground. They do however give a great picture for the price of the system.

This backup camera comes with everything you need to make it work. It includes the power connections and the wire to connect the camera. It also includes a mounting bracket for the monitor inside the vehicle. The cameras wire is really long,I recommend not trying to make it shorter. Installation can be a daunting task.I did it myself with one other person to help. If you really want to be nice to your husband you might consider getting a professional to install the backup camera.I proved it can be done by someone with a little skill and ability but it took me about 4 how to install it on my motor home. Works very well, been over a year and still satisfied. This backup camera comes with everything you need to make it work. It includes the power connections and the wire to connect the camera.

There is plenty of wire for these I don't think you need extra at least 50 ft for each camera

If you want to mount the camera straight out from the house, the mount will not be long enough. But if you mount the camera to the side, left or right it will work without anything extra. What I did is mount a small block of wood to my shed to give me an extra inch so I could mount the camera straight out. I hope this works for you.

I've run some really long wires for these cameras but not the ones provided, I used Siamese cable and I think I did a 150ft run no problem

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)

The specs say, if you go over 60 feet, you need a seperate power supply for the camera. I have ran almost 75 or 100 feet wiyth no problem.

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.

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

You can hard wire it but still need the power adapter. Power adapter is 2.8" x 1.8" x 0.8". Mounting on a regular ceiling maybe difficult if you do not have any space for the power supply above the camera. If you are replacing an existing smoke detector, you can have an electrician connect the power supply to the existing 110V and connect the camera.

I have installed cameras under a roof and at 2 meters. The outlet is next to the cameras.

Hi Carl:I didn't measure it but I think about 12 feet. I drilled a small hole through my roof into my garage and extended the power supply with an extension cord into the garage. Then I sealed the hole with a rubber patch and silicone. Works fine. Unfortunately I can't point the camera at my house so I have it pointed into the cul-de-sac and look down the street. It would be nice if it had a battery pack so I could mount it on the public light pole and point it to my house. Camera works fine and had for about 8 monts so far.

A "rough measurement" of mine which is connected to the mounting bracket visible in this picture is about 9". Probably subtract about 1 inch for the mounting bracket, and the around 8" left would be the height of the camera. And, the power and camera signal uses what I regard as standard BNC connectors. The 2 "wires" for the PTZ movement are just wires.
