I would say they are less than 50 feet

currently I am using 2 geovision V3E's to capture data from 2 Verifone Ruby Super System II registers. I've got like 15 more stores to go, and would like to not have to use the data capture boxes. To get the data to the boxes, I'm using the existing serial cable that used to be plugged into the old school text inserter box. This serial cable is coming from basically a data-tap type "T" adapter that resides inline right before the printer. What would be the problem with using an ethernet cable with DB9 adaptors on each end to get the data from the old text inserter to the serial port on the Geovision DVR?

I will be building DVR systems for one of my clients who has a few gas stations. The number one requirement is that the POS data (information from the RUBY register) is captured and stored in a data base. This data base needs to be viewable remotly and have point, click, and view video goodness. Having some sort of Exception based reporting would be cool too. These stores already have analog cameras with BNC connectors so i need a card that will interface with those. There may be 2 registers per store in some stores. Any suggestions would be helpful
