Lars_G 0 Posted October 23, 2015 Greetings. I'm doing a setup for a friend of my parental unit. It's a smaller 8 unit setup and I'm still deciding Wether to go with analog, or network based. If I go with analog, I might get a hybrid DVR to allow future easy expansion. But, in the case of going with network, I'd like to go with a NVR which has switch and PoE built in, to avoid extra/external equipment. But, even when the longest run is still half of top length TCP run at 47 meters long, it worries me a little whether the PoE in the system will work well enough for a run of this length, and I wanted to know if you've had runs this long or longer without power troubles before.

Why in the world would you install analog. Its 2015. 1080p HD should be baseline. POE can be run 100m at a minimum. 47m is nothing. Dont use garbage ebay copper clad aluminum (CCA) wire. Use copper.

Lars_G 0 Posted October 23, 2015 Regarding analog, you're right. I considered it for a short while, but I finally decided to go with network cams. Most probably hikvision (so far). Thanks for the feedback on PoE... I just realized there's a similar topic next to mine... so I'm doubly stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
