Installation
• BNC video and PTZ control (RS485) wires can be extended an additional
250ft/76m up to a maximum length of 350ft/106m. Video quality may de-
crease if your extension cables are too long.
• To extend the BNC video cable beyond 100ft, purchase RG59 coaxial ex-
tension cables. It is recommended to use video cables with the following
specification: RG59U 95% Braid 20AWG or better.
• To extend the PTZ control (RS485) wires beyond 100ft, purchase a pair of
24-gauge wires.
Note
Both RG59 coaxial cable and 24-gauge wires should be available from your local build-
ing supply store.
