Post by capcabgue »

Hello everyone:
I want to know how much is the maximo distance from webcam to PC? because I want to make a home's CCTV and I do not know if I can install webcam or I must conect just IP camera to my CCTV.

Analog cameras, depending on the copper braid for the coax, can usually go ~300-500 feet. Video baluns will let you transport the analog signal over twisted pair and is typically good for 200-1200 feet.

Network cameras are 320ish feet - unless you are using amplifiers or wireless.
