QuestionHello, Do you recommend a managed POE router for this system or can the NVR power the cameras on their own? Also I see the unit comes with 100ft ethernet cable. What is the longest distance can they be away from the NVR? just wondering.
Asked 5 years ago by Chris.
- Answer Hello Millertime, Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. We would recommend that the cameras be connected to the recorder directly. The recorder can supply sufficient power up to 300 feet away. This is the longest recommended run. Please let us know how we may further assist you, Thank you. JV Swann Customer Support

QuestionOn this security set up what is the size of the box that is connected inside the house? trying to fit in a cupboard internet box .....length width and height thanks Janet Frank
Asked 3 years ago by Frank.
- Answer 8 inches deep, 2 inches tall, 9 inches across. I have mine in the kitchen cabinet above the fridge. You must allow for wires in the back of the NVR. Wires take up extra 2 inches in the back of NVR. NVR is 10 inches deep with CAT5 wires.
