What is the maximum distance that the cameras can be installed from the DVR?

Asked a year ago
The maximum distance that cameras can be installed from the DVR depends on the type of camera and the cabling used. Analog cameras typically have a maximum distance of around 1,000 feet when using RG59 coaxial cable. However, the distance can be extended using video baluns or by using network/IP cameras over Ethernet cable with Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which can reach up to several hundred feet or even thousands of feet depending on the setup. It is important to consider cable quality, signal amplification, and potential signal degradation factors such as interference or power loss when estimating the maximum distance. Ultimately, it is recommended to consult the specific camera and DVR documentation or contact technical support for accurate distance specifications.
