Thank you. Am I on the right track with my plan?

I've recently installed a GW Security 16 HD-CVI 12 volt camera system at my work facility in the shop. I have a couple storage buildings that will require cable lengths of 250 to 300 feet to tie the cameras to the dvr. From what I've read this will require RG-59 cable. I've also read that I shouldn't exceed 200 feet for the 12 volt power to the cameras. Could I install a remote power supply in one of the storage buildings to power those cameras? Where can I find the cable, connectors and tools to install the connectors? Feel free to correct anything that I'm off track with. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! Can you direct me to an area of the forum where I can learn more about what you've mentioned?

Hi everyone! I've been tinkering with CCTV for a couple years and am looking to advance my skills. I'm maintenance supervisor for a local town and have convinced the Town Board to begin installing CCTV at our various facilities. I hired a contractor to install the first system at a problematic park but I successfully installed a system at my maintenance shop. I'm here to learn the parameters and restrictions of different types of cameras and cabling. I belong to a number of forums of different topics and even operate a couple myself so I'll be playing by the rules. Thanks in advance for your help!
