VideoSecu 100ft HD Pre-Made All-in-One Video Security Camera Cable Power Extension Wire Cord with BNC RCA Connectors for 720P 960P 960H CCTV Surveillance DVR System A1E

had the cables for over 5 years and continue to be problem free

I had read several reviews on these cables and the reoccurring theme was that they were too thin and fragile, so I was concerned about this but the price was right so I took the risk. I ran these cables through my attic and despite every effort to be careful and delicate, this wasn't always possible given the tight space and route through which the cables needed to be placed. I'm happy to say the cables work great, I've had no problems with them at all, the signal is strong and the images are crisp and clear, I feel I got great value and quality for my money.

I purchased this cable through Amazon. This wire is typically used to connect a surveillance camera to a TV monitor or a recording device (VCR or DVR). Each end of the wire has a plug for video and DC power. One end of the cable has a male 2.1mm DC power connector and a male RCA type video plug. The other end of the cable has a female DC power connector and a female BNC video plug. The seller is generous enough to include 2 conversion adapters in case you need an RCA plug on both ends (for a standard VCR or monitor) or you need a BNC connection on both ends (often seen on time-lapse security recording devices and some more expensive cameras). The price was very reasonable for 100 feet of cable and the cable does work nicely.Now for the "but...' part in the title of this review:I failed to look closely at the picture. If you do look closely at the picture you will see two separate wires at each end of the cable which are joined into one single wire a few inches later. I assumed that there would be two wires attached to each other for the entire cable length just like any standard electric cord. If your security setup has your recording device right next to your power supply then this wire is fine and there is no problem. However if you have your recording device is in a lock box for added security and your power supply is not located in the lock box (perhaps because of concern about excessive heat buildup from the power brick or space or electrical considerations) then you will not be able to separate the video and power wire so that you can run the power wire to a different location. Cable that I purchased a few years ago had 2 wires on each end of the cable that are joined a few inches later just like this wire but the wires remain separate (but attached) along the entire length of cable. I could split the two apart with a knife for any length I chose. In my case my power supply is 10 feet away. In all likelihood the seller would accept a return but with the shipping cost it is probably not worth it for me. I will now have to find a 10 foot DC power cable extension wire and run the extra wire from the lock box to the power brick. Two distinct wires would have been so much easier and less messy. As I said this one is my mistake. I did not know this wire was sold in this format. On the plus side if stealth is part of your setup then a single wire is easier to hide than a double joined wire.The seller was quick with shipping and had good communication about the purchase.

The wire itself but does feal a little bit on the weak side as far as it is built but, it took quite a beating while I installed it. 105 degrees out I wanted to get it done QUICK!!! Despite getting tangled alot (there is alot of wire there) and getting tossed around a bit, it held in there. There was NO quality differance from the 60 FT wire. The fact that it came with the BNC to RCA adapters was just icing on the cake. Oh, and mine was not a single wire design ie, the power wire ran seperately than the video wire.

I purchased these in conjunction with a Swann DVR4-2550 4 Channel Digital Video Recorder with Smartphone Viewing (SWDVR-42550H) to add range to the cameras that were included in the unit. I was initially concerned with quality loss over such a long cable, but I tested it out in comparison with the included 65 foot cabling and noticed no difference. I even connected multiple lines together to extend the range and everything works just fine- even power.Pros-Inexpensive addition for a security camera system-Quality holds up over distanceCons-None, really. They even included couplers so male/female connections aren't an issue.

This product works but not as I expected. The three star rating is a direct representation of the functionality of this product; in other words, it will get you there, the only question is how. Perhaps my faux pas for being a bit too frugal (amateur Amazonian). Well, I intended to order Siamese cable for a remote video camera location. When one thinks of Siamese, two felines, similar in appearance, come to mind. Well, this cable is similar to the like said but just one cat with two heads and two tails. The heads and tails represent the terminations. In other words, this product runs both power supply and video through the same common area. The products works; however, there is roll off approaching 5Mhz causing a distorted pedestal or some technobable like that. In other words, the product is just adequate for low resolution video cameras but if you have an 800 or so line camera, please run RG6 coax. My signal was even attenuated with a 400 line camera which, as every kid in town knows, requires about 3.5 Mhz. I was gobsmacked with the poor quality of my 800 line camera until I changed over to RG6 coax. Now I can see the hair on the pimple of a flea. There is, however, good news. This cable easily passes my 2Mhz robotics control signal with absolutely no CRC errors.

I am quite late in providing a comment. Truth be told, I have bought (and used) a ton of this wiring over a several year period. It is easy to understand, and problem free to install. It is adequately constructed for my purposes, namely maintaining a closed circuit TV monitoring system for my home and property. I would recommend it to others without reservation. I would perhaps prefer that it not ever get “tangled” (reminiscent of backlashes you encounter with a bait cast reel when fishing), but hey, it is well worth the money, and to be fair, it doesn’t get “tangled” all that frequently.
