“The cables included are only 60FT, it's long enough for some people but short for some people also. Can the DVR to Camera be extended using POE enabled switches to make it longer? Does this system also use normal IEEE standard ethernet cabling and POE?”

Hi Stevie, Thank you for your question — great one! Yes, the system uses standard Ethernet (RJ45) cabling with PoE (Power over Ethernet), so both power and video are transmitted through a single cable from the NVR to each camera . Regarding cable length, the included cables are 60 ft, but you can absolutely extend the distance if needed: You can extend each camera connection up to ~180 ft using an Ethernet coupler and additional cable This is a common and supported setup as long as good quality Ethernet cables are used As for using PoE switches, the system is primarily designed for direct connection to the NVR’s built-in PoE ports. While advanced setups using PoE switches may work, they are not the standard configuration and may require additional network setup. Best regards, Jenny | Defender Customer Experience Expert
