Does the camera come with the necessary cables (CAT 5)? What seller did you purchase from to receive the cable?

The camera has a short (maybe 6 inches?) cat5 cable with a female end attached to it that will connect with your cat5 wiring. I doubt you will find anyone selling this camera along with cables that allow the camera to be connected with your router. In my case, I needed 60 ft of cable. I purchased that separately. The length of cable you need will depend on where you mount the camera, and where your router is located. Search for Cat5 patch cables, and look for one that is the appropriate length for your installation. You may want to do PoE (power over ethernet) which means you only run a Cat5 cable, and not a separate power cable, since the PoE device can transmit power through the Cat5 cable - so your network traffic and power all run through the single cable. If you have a power outlet close to where you want the camera mounted, then you don't need the PoE, since you can just use the included power supply.

it comes with a female end RJ45(Cat5e) - You will need to run a patch cable from your POE/NVR to the camera - I make my own cables I am an installer -

Don't purchase them from Best Buy (far too overpriced), and you can get some really cheap ones on eBay (probably even cheaper than Amazon). Good luck!

No. It doesn't come with camera. Wires seems to be not long enough for proper and professional installations ( at least in my case)

we only used the supplied cables. I think you may need a booster to extend cable that far. I would consider wireless if there is power available to the camera.

The camera comes with the power supply and ethernet cable and instructions. You don't really need any software, you can log into the camera to set it up. YOu can use any APP or Software that run IP cameras.

The computer cable comes with the camera, I believe. One end is designed to fit into a port on the camera itself, and the other end is a designed to fit in a USB port.

A lot of conflicting answers here... the Amazon description clearly says 60ft cables come with each of the four cameras. Is that description wrong?

Yes, mine came with both cables... about 6 foot each. Great scanner by the way.

The cable comes with camera. You can even remove the mini disk and insert it into your computer directly to download pics.

The cable was included. I purchased both the plate frame camera and the Boyo monitor and did not need to purchase anything else to install everything.

You don't need a router for a CCTV camera. Only IP cameras meed a router or a switch. These plugs just let you use Cat5 (computer) cables as an extension cord. Each of these plugs have a CAT5 end and a power plug end. You connect the power plug into your camera power jack then the CAT5 end into a Cat5 cable. The other end of the cat5 cable into CAT5 end and the power jack into your camera power supply. The plugs have RJ45 ends with a split off power jacks. Make sure the power jacks are the correct size for both your camera and power supply. These plugs injects power onto the Cat5 cable. If your camera uses 12V and you are only going a short run like 25-30 feet a 12V power supply should work. The longer the cat5 run the less voltage you get on the other end. So if you use 12V and a 200 foot run you might get 5 volts at the camera end. You would have to use a larger power supply for a long run. There are sites on the web that can explain it better then I can. So I guess to answer your question Yes you can power a CCTV camera with these with the right connector. I don't think you can send video over that cable though. I believe CCTV uses coax. I mostly replace CCTV camera with IP cameras they are cheaper and you can access the camera for a smart phone remotely. You would have to check with the Camera Manufacturer. I am running IP Foscam cameras.

uses standard power and video connectors like other CCTV cameras. However, you can buy a balun which will carry video and power over a cat5 cable (in fact, a cat5 cable will support up to four cameras and power). I use a number of these baluns. They work fine. Amazon sells a number of them. btw, this camera is pretty large and heavy so it needs a secure mount.

Short answer, yes. I bought two 500' rolls of cat 6 and two of my cameras are over 200'. Video quality is perfect.

Hi, Sir, You will need a computer to access and program the camera. However, since it is a wireless camera, you do not need to run cat5 ethernet cable to the camera. But you need a lower power source to plug in the power adapter, which is used to power the camera

Yes, you can get 50ft. of security camera cable at ebay for $8.98. If you need 100Ft. get two.

Mine did not, but I was wanting to purchase my own, anyway. I purchased 2 90 to 100' long camera cables (with camera signal plus power supply 95% shielded by copper to help with interference, which I had been experiencing just a little of on another cable, for other cabling changes I was wanting to make at the same time I was up in the attic) as well as wiring for the 485-portion of this camera. I purchased mine via http://amazon.com. You can get it lots of places.

Yes the purchase comes with a camera and all necessary cables. Do a search anywhere on the model number and you should get a better description of all included parts.

Yes, it came with all the cables I needed, and some I haven't used yet. So far I've used the USB to upload the images/videos to my PC. It also came with those needed to connect to my TV, but I'm not a techie in that regard, so I haven't used them yet. Even though I haven't used them all, I think you would have everything you need to perform many more actions and wouldn't have to purchase any additional cables. Hope that helps.
