scotslad Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Do u get much voltage drop throu the cables? Say if u had a long run to a kennel/stable/shed/front gate or something do u need special/thickier cables or is the voltage too small to notice much drop?

I've run HikVision IP POE cameras around 100 Metres without any problems on cat5e cables, if you are worried about the distance then upgrade the cabling to Cat6, in either case make sure the cable is copper and of good quality. I've seen systems using cheap non copper cables, that wouldn't work at distances of around 25 Metres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
