techhospitality 0 Posted September 30, 2013 Hi Guys, we have a Digital Watchdog model DWVF161T that we have set up at a clients location. We have two of them on site, and they are both set up to use a single KVM and screen at the front desk so they can monitor the cameras. The only issue we are having is that we are unable to get a mouse to work through the KVM (the kvm has a port for a usb mouse). Does anyone know if there a specific model of mouse or KVM that we should be using? The other issue could be distance as well. The KVM is running over a 30ft extender cable as the DVR's are in the basement and the KVM is at the front desk. We have also tried wireless mice and have been able to get one to work consistently but we are unable to get two to work at the same time (i am guessing they are interfering with each other). If anybody has any suggestions or thoughts I would appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssnapier 0 Posted October 1, 2013 Is the KVM powered? Distance is almost certainly the issue if you are just running an extension cable with no power boost. I typically will not extend a USB device more than 15 feet without a secondary power source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
