smokingjoe 0 Posted December 22, 2017 Hi all Installed a four channel NVR with two IP cameras connected, using uniview equipment with POE. One run of the cat5 network cable was 460 feet. It seems to be working great. They say I could go 800 feet or more. Has anyone tried to go 800ft. with the extended transmission option of uniview? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted December 23, 2017 It is always best to use the standard 100 meter limits. The device you installed may work the next one might not. you should use some sort of midspan or poe extender to reach the 800 ft. I have worked on networks with legs which are out of speck and the device might work but you can have problems in other parts of the network that seem unrelated. We worked on a school network that had random problems and at first we thought it was a switch issue. we found a several legs that were way over the limit and when we corrected that the issues went away. I would look up the speks and try to stay withing the parameters that the TIAA people spent years and millions of dollars establishing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
