Thank you for your answer. Yes there is a red cable inside. As I said I never installed a system before. Replacing the cables is a no go as there is a lot of cable installed inside brick walls so it would be too much of a job to be done which of course will affect the overall cost - effort. Regrading my question, you think those cameras would have good performance during night by having only 1-2 leds?

Hi all, In an older building which already has pre-installed cables for camera installation I would like to add a system. I am new in the field as I am doing it that for a relative. I've read and search a lot days and as I would like to have sufficient quality and a decent system with of course not so big budget as it's just home installation I am considering ordering the following. https://www.amazon.de/ANNKE-%C3%9Cberwachungskamera-Recorder-%C3%9Cberwachungskameras-Bewegungserkennung/dp/B074RFTRCY?th=1 sorry that it's in german but to make it easier here are the cameras only: https://www.annkesecurity.com/cctv-cameras/annke-cw1ce-3-mp-high-performance-ip66-waterproof-dome-camera.html So what I can't understand is that they say they include 2 leds for night vision but I can't see them! Do you think would be sufficient or better going to the cheaper model with 2mp instead of 3mp which has more leds for night? https://www.annkesecurity.com/security-camera-kit/4x-annke-2mp-1080p-hd-camera-ir-cut-tvi-bullet-camera-ct1cg.html I have a last question regarding the pre-installed cable which looks like this and it has to travel quite a distance from the top floor to the entrance of the building where 1 camera is going to be. You think would be sufficient to transfer 12v power as well as the signal for those cameras? https://imgur.com/a/r3Aw3 Thank you in advance!
