I have a long driveway and I would like to place a camera where my driveway meets the road. Can I place a camera 700 feet away from the DVR?

The video should be fine. But you may need a power source closer to the camera.

If you are using RG59 cable you should keep the distance at or less than 750 feet. Over 750 feet you should switch to an RG6 low loss coaxial cable. IF you plan to bury the cable, ensure that the coax is rated for burial. The real issue is with the power. 700 feet over the small gauge conductor may be an issue, depending on the wire size/quality. Use a voltage drop calculator to determine wire size and input voltage. If using the Qsee brand cable provided with the system, i would say very unlikely to support that distance.

Motion recording is up to the DVR used. The camera doesn't have anything to do with it. So, the answer is no!

If you do, the voltage drop will be quite a lot, and the camera might not work. For runs more than 10 ft you should use an active injector / splitter

Yes - I have the camera outside and the receiver inside attached to my TV about 25 feet away

Here is what I did. Hopefully help you. Park your vehicle on your driveway and mark the distance from your rear camera (~ from the back of your vehicle) by 3 feet each with chalk or cans up to 9 or 12 feet. This is your decision for how far you want to mark. Get to your seat and turn ON the system. You will then put a tiny piece colored tape on the same marked spot which shown on your monitor. That's it.

No. This is a camera with 2 cables. One of which is the power supply. But you need to buy a longer camera cable to extend it to the dvr

NO!! Do not waste your money. If you want that ltype of range I would suggest a Agasio A602W camera and use a range extender in your network. I have 2 Agasio A602W's monitoring my driveway with two very solid walls between the cameras and the range extender and they work great. I don't like the Foscam brand as they are not all what they say they are. If your cameras are that far away and you have very little obstruction, you would still need a range extender.

yes, you can go a long distance but the power supply should only be 60 ft from camera and each power supply in the kit is intended to supply power to 4 camera's, so you may have to buy more power supplies for that reason, also the cables that came in the kit is not shielded, if you are going to run in walls they should be shielded cables. You can also buy the cable in bulk (Q-See QS59500) and run the length you need, but you will have it buy and install the BNC Compression Connectors (Paladin Tools 9731 Sealtite) and power pigtails (Q-SEE QSDCPG16) on the cables

I use this in a barn. You are either in range or out of range. The closer the camera is to what you are watching the clearer it is. It truly is 600 ft range.

I just uploaded a couple of pictures that show a NC-336PW camera with a 3.8mm lens and a NC-336PW camera with a 6mm lens capturing the same moving car at a distance of about 180 feet. Amazon downsized the 1920x1080 resolution pictures that I uploaded, but the pictures should give you an idea of what you will be able to see at 180 feet. I would anticipate that the camera with the 6mm lens at a distance of 250 feet would show objects roughly the same size as the camera with the 3.8mm lens at 180 feet. Also, you should keep in mind that the vertical distance from the roof of your house to the ground will further increase the distance between the camera and the front gate. The NC-336PW camera supports power over Ethernet, so you might be able to run 100 or 150 feet of direct burial Cat 6 Ethernet cable to a tree that is closer to the gate, and then use a roughly $20 power over Ethernet injector to power the camera in the tree through the direct burial Cat 6 cable. You may see the pictures that I uploaded here:

I am pretty sure its going to work if you connect with bnc connecters. I have Qsee dvr which is not a problem. about the camera its a very good one. I can see 150 feet in color with street light clearly. hope this helps. thank you.

This camera is connected to an Analog Surveillance System via a standard 100 ft combination video and power cable. Your DVR should support the 700 TVL resolution or better to use the capabilities of the camera. DVR's are offered on 4, 8, 12, and more ports, so you need to select between the 4 & 8 port units.

As long as the wire that comes with camera is long enough to reach camera, you are ok. The electric and video are both in that wire. Curious about DVR answer, cause I am having issues with mine and it's been less than a year so I am thinking about going with another brand....

Not that I am aware off just make sure that the camera is at least 2 feet above the ground

I tried parking my truck backed up to my 27' fifth wheel and was NOT able to get a picture with the camera at the rear end of my trailer. It seems the range is about 20'

Not sure about the maximum distance but we have ours installed up at the barn to see when cows are calving & we have a perfect picture on the computer & our house is across the street down the road. Even when it was -13 degrees the other night the camera worked perfect! We are ordering a couple more soon..... Have no complaints about this camera.
