What connection(s) come on the camera? RJ45 only? Does it use standard CAT5,5e, or 6 cable?

Yes only a rj45. Works well with all cat 5, 5e, or 6. Remember the interface is only 10/100 so using cat 6 is not needed.

Comes with only RJ 45 connection. The camera I received was dead when I received it.

The connection type is an RJ45 connector, Cat5, Cat 53, Cat6 all use RJ45 Connectors, the cable is your choice depending on your environment if you decide to run your own cable, Google the difference (honestly cat5 which is cheaper will be fine) unless you are running a new network throughout the house and have cat6 I wouldn't bother going with cat6.

No it does not. A short cable leading from the camera terminates in an rj-45 jack (ethernet) and a separate jack for the power adapter which must be plugged into a 120V AC outlet. I put my cameras on the corners of the house outside and ran the short cable up into the attic. Then I have extension cords running to the corners of the roof inside the attic, one for each camera. This way, no connections are exposed outside of the house and I didn't have to run new electrical wiring all over the place. And, I can unplug the cameras to turn them off from a single, convenient location. Though, I'm not sure what the fire marshal would say. No it does not.

Use Cat5 Patch cable or similar wire just cut off the connectors and use two wires out of the 5 or 6 to connect the plus and minus connections between the dvr and the camera.

This is assuming you dont have the cable that came with the camera. The rj11e connector is using certain pins for the composite video and video ground, for the dc power positive and negative (usually 12 volts), and sometimes audio and audio ground. You may be able to google the brand and model of your camera to determine what pin does what. There are even some adapters on the market that will divide the signals for you for easier hookup. Once you have separated the signals correctly on the rj11e connector, the video signal can hook directly to the yellow video Input of a tv/monitor. If your monitor only has a VGA Input, you will need a composite to VGA video adapter.

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.

The camera's communicate with the Base Station. The Base Station is hard wired using a CAT5 cable to your Router. The email functionality is set up through Net Gear web page.

Cameras that accept power over ethernet connect to POE. I would make sure the camera you are using is POE before connecting. The LAN side plugs into a switch or router.

You can use any CAT5 or CAT6 cable as long as it has RJ-45 connectors... Same as any other ethernet cable.

The camera has a short (maybe 6 inches?) cat5 cable with a female end attached to it that will connect with your cat5 wiring. I doubt you will find anyone selling this camera along with cables that allow the camera to be connected with your router. In my case, I needed 60 ft of cable. I purchased that separately. The length of cable you need will depend on where you mount the camera, and where your router is located. Search for Cat5 patch cables, and look for one that is the appropriate length for your installation. You may want to do PoE (power over ethernet) which means you only run a Cat5 cable, and not a separate power cable, since the PoE device can transmit power through the Cat5 cable - so your network traffic and power all run through the single cable. If you have a power outlet close to where you want the camera mounted, then you don't need the PoE, since you can just use the included power supply.

So you plug the master power into your standard outlet and insert the cat 5e cable from that power source into your router. Then pretty much do the same for the camera, plug its power source into a standard outlet and plug in the ethernet cord to that and then the other end goes into the camera. Its power over the ethernet cable. Just besure to not use any extension cords or surge protectors, as it messes up tge transmission. The instructions state bothpower sources have a surge protector in them. Definitely a DIY job, nothing fancy, very straightforward. All the best! Its a great unit!!

It is positively RJ45. I just now looked at mine and verified the number of pin connectors (8) on the RJ45/Cat5 connector. Heck, I even went on BING and did an image search comparing RJ11 to RJ45 (in case I had a brain fart) and confirmed it there as well: It uses RJ45.

I cant recall if cables came with them, but if so they were way too short to be of practical use. You can use any standard off the shelf cat5, cat6, etc. Ethernet cables with rj45 connectors.

i think it was an rg45, cat5. I can't find it at the moment. I don't know how long it was. I used my existing cable to connect to my cable modem.

Also remember to set the DIP switch on the camera to the right control address, and make sure that all RS-485 cabling is A-A and B-B. If these things, and the other folks' input doesn't help, please describe your setup in detail. Good luck.

The question is will it crimp rj45 connectors which are used for pretty much every network cable out there, and the only connector you need to worry about. Cat 6 refers only to the actual cable, not the connector. The only difference between cat 5, cat 5e, and cat 6 cable is as you go to 5e and 6, there is more material inside the cable to shield the data wires from outside interference and crosstalk between the wires.

YES! I have installed the 8 camera set from the SDE-5001 System. You'll note the "POE" statements. That's Power Over Ethernet. It only uses 5 wires of the 8 wires in the Cat 6 cable. Cable runs can maintain good quality to 160 feet... sometime even longer runs.

Each camera connects to the base with a small wireless kit. The kit comes with the connector and cat5 cable to attach to the base, the same as the hard wired cameras.
