  1. Good afternoon, I've searched on here for a little while, and I apologize if this question has been asked and answered. I'm a novice at CCTV so please talk to me like a young child. I live out in the county there is no a good source for internet or wifi (Line of site 3 MPS). I have a barn which has been turned into a wedding venue. For the past 3 years we used a cheap system Swann to run our security camera's outside the barn. (Longest run approx 100ft). We would like to put two security camera's out at our main gate. (approx 900 ft run) There is currently no electricity out there. I thought RG6 Siamese coax was the way to go and purchased this.. but isn't working. Any suggestion are welcome on how I could make this work. I'm willing to buy a new DVR and 2 new cameras for long run. I would like it if my old camera's would work with a new DVR and their BNC cables just to lower the cost. Thank you in advance
  2. Thank you.. currently looking at electric 8/2 or 10/2. I'll post if I get working for future people.
  3. Thank you for your comment. Do you have any suggestions?
  4. The Toss-- Luckily I have a trencher and it's a straight path... I tried to do research and I sent several inquiries to Online Vendors who talk about HD over Coax. I either got no response or everyone just sited the long run electrical wouldn't work because of the voltage drop and they said I would have to run a separate power source. I appreciate you directing me to the 12V/24VAC camera. I should have consulted the forum before I bought the cable. We put the cable in the ground in July. Should have left it on the roll until we knew it worked too. Lot's of mistakes, but hopefully I'll get it to work and others will read this and do better. TomCCTV: I have not purchased the camera for the gate yet. Only laid the cable and tested with a 12V camera. I did get this camera to power on and send video for about a 2 feet test, but when I tried for the full run it did not. I'm researching for 12V/24VAC camera and power plug as The Toss suggested. I'm crossing fingers that will work. Thanks Kim
  5. Thank you for the answer and I appreciate the input. Wrongly I'm sure but I already invested in RG6. So I guess I will hope for the best...
  6. Thank you for your quick response. Here's my baby step reading of what you wrote... Solve the power issue... 1. Get a 24vac/12V DC security camera. 2. Get a 24vac power supply and hook to Siamese power on the RG6 Siamese power cord. Do you have an example of a camera you would purchase? Is there a special DVR that I would need too? I see that Solve the video issue... I already purchased Direct Burial RG6 Siamese from Sewell Direct. Does that sound like you think it would work? Outdoor cable runs have two obstacles to overcome: distance and the elements. Sewell’s Outdoor Direct Burial RG6 cable has been specially designed with added protection from the elements and electromagnetic interference to overcome these obstacles and give you the best possible signal. Pure Copper Conductor The signal transmitted through any cable will become weaker over long distances. This is because of attenuation. There are some things you can do to reduce attenuation and get a better signal. Sewell’s Direct Burial Cable has a pure copper conductor and dual shielding, including a 95% braid. That means you will get the best signal quality available, even over long distances. Direct Burial This cable comes with a PE (polyethylene) jacket instead of the standard PVC jacket used in most coax cables. The PE jacket makes this cable extremely resistant to cold weather, moisture, chemicals, abrasion, cutting, and even lightening. It also has a special gel-like substance in the jacket that blocks water and moisture corroding your conductor and damaging your signal. If you bury your coax cable without this added protection you risk moisture and contaminates entering the cable and corrode your shielding and conductor. Siamese Cable Having power and data cables run together cuts your installation time in half by requiring you to run only one cable. The term “Siamese cable” refers to a type of cable that combines video and power into one package. That means that in addition to the RG6 video cable, there are also separately insulated power cables included in the cable. That allows you to provide the proper power to your equipment without interfering with the video signal. Thanks a bunch Kim
