cro55m 0 Posted April 21, 2018 Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice. I've started installing a HIKVision NVR system and i've got one camera up and running using the cat5 cable supplied 10m length, I've installed another camera but the run was approx 18m so used my own cat 6 cable, i've tested it and its terminated correctly however the NVR isn't picking up a picture. The cable i'm using is cat 6 UTP Solid Bare, Copper Conductor 24AWG and the connectors are just a standard Ebay job. My thoughts are the run is too long, when I use a shorter run its fine, however it should be capable of upto 70m cable dependant. Is it worth trying to buy some better connectors if so whats the preferred? Thanks Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
