QuestionHow many feet are the cables that come with this system?
Asked 8 years ago by colovito.
- Answer Each cable is 60 feet in length. They are know as BNC cables, and you can either buy longer cables (recommended) if needed, or buy a second longer cable which should come with Male-to-Female adapters to connect the 2 cables together. (The longer cable is recommended over connecting 2 together to reduce possible signal loss)
  I would recommend:
  - Swann - 200' BNC Video/Power Camera Extension Cable - White
    User rating, 4.67 out of 5 stars with 3 reviews.
  - Swann - 100' BNC Video/Power Camera Extension Cable - White

QuestionI have a night owl system and it just died. It was good, but I was thinking about trying a different brand and heard that this was a good one. I don't want to run new cables if I don't have to. Are the cables the same?
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello, If your previous Night Owl unit has the same resolution and operates on the same video signal then it should work. This Swann unit is a 1080P TVI unit. Keep in mind we can not fully guarantee the compatibility since we have not tested the Night Owl cameras with a Swann system.
