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!

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!

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