arielaj 0 Posted March 21, 2007 I have a 150K sq foot warehouse that wants a 4 camera system... 4 cameras, 4 channel DVR (located in the office) Best way to run the cable for the camera that's so far from the DVR? Thanks for the advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phred 0 Posted March 21, 2007 General rule of Mathematics – you cannot solve a problem with too many unknowns. What are the dimensions of the warehouse? (it could be 20 feet wide and 7,500 long ) Where is the office? In a corner? in the centre? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arielaj 0 Posted March 22, 2007 I didnt get a chance to measure, but Be sure that the warehouse is far longer than it is wide... Nevertheless, for arguments sake, lets suppose the furthest camera is about 2000' from the DVR. Assuming I could tap into existing power close to the source, what would you guys recommend for running the video? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VST_Man 1 Posted March 22, 2007 RG-59 for under 250ft. CAT5 w/passive baluns 250ft. - 800ft. CAT5 w/active baluns 800ft and longer go with 24vac, and yes power the loger ones at the camera. you could go with 28vac if you shorest is around 500ft.? 4 camera's seems very small for a building that size?

kensplace 0 Posted March 23, 2007 make sure the dvr is very secure, or theives could break in and walk of with the dvr...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arielaj 0 Posted March 23, 2007 I agree 4 cameras is too few, but they say they only have 2 exits, don't want to watch the office at all, and 2 cameras to watch the loading dock. Thats what the customer wants, thats what they'll get! Hopefully Installing the 4 cams will put me in a position to upsell a larger system down the road. Thanks for the advice, I was curious about wireless over that distance...? Anyone know about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VST_Man 1 Posted March 23, 2007 don't do wireless if you can wire it...........more parts equals more cost. and rememeber that you can locate the DVR closer to the camera's and network back 300ft......CAT5 as wired for networking, is good out to 300ft. max.... KISS...keep it simple simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deluxecctv.com 0 Posted April 1, 2007 I would stay away from wireless unless there is no other option. Where is the office located? In the middle of the facility? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
