can the extended wires be piggy-backed in order to lenghten the wires for a extra long run? ie put two 60' cables into one 120' cable?

Yes. I have done it two ways. In one case I purchased a 50 or 60 foot extention cord from Defender. However, I also found that I had some very short runs and some very long runs. I shortened the cord for the short run by removing a section of the cord and splicing the remaining cord together. I then used the extra cord from the one I shortened and spliced it into the cord I needed to be longer. The wires in the cords are very fine so the splicing is a delicated job but it is very do-able.

Yes they can. I have two of my cameras with extended cables and they work fine.

If you're going to use the wires that come with the system you would have to splice. Or, you can buy extension cords that can add more length without splicing.

the answer is yes although there is a length limit mine worked fine.Larry H

Yes. It should be noted that to avoid splicing two lengths by hand, they offer a 60' cable that has the correct ends that allow for a proper connection to the standard 60' cable.

my guess is yes.. i think two cables out put is just for convenience. not positive. good luck.

I don't think you can considering that you would also have to lengthen the cables which are probably not available in longer lengths.

I have tested two 50 foot cables separately and the results were positive. One of the cable was good and the other one was bad. I also extended the 50 by joining another 20 and successfully tested 70 foot. I can't technically comment for 120 but, check the batteries.

i wouldn't advise it as it is VERY tough to terminate , my suggestion however is when you use an underground cable you need to account for 20% extra cable too , because its not so bendable

I guess you can. I haven't tried. I would do it where your dvr is first. Attach the two. Them hook up the camera to see if it works. And pic quality. They also sell 300 footers. The shielded cable work way better than the skinny black wires that come w the camera set up. I swapt all my wires out. But I always check before. On my property that's a lot of work to find out the shielded cable didn't work. Or work back to back. I have 16 cameras. And never had any problems. I switch out cameras also as time go on.

Length may be short, but easy to lengthen...either cut and splice or buy the spade connectors to make an extension cable. yes you can cut out the switch, its garbage anyway, and add your own. That's what I did on all of mine.

No. I had to buy extra cables to accommodate that plan. It can be done though. :)

Monitor wire is about one foot long. An extension cable probably will not be necessary.

I extended it 80 ft, but your going to need cable connectors tools and knowledge of soldering to extend the or receiver wire

Try to add 19 Ft of regular wire, see if it works. You have nothing to lose...

I'm pretty sure, though i'm not a professional installer or anything. If the space below is big enough, but not too big, i think the hardest problem will be making an adapter to fork the cables to get both sets of wires plugged in.

Yes, i have not tried that but do not see why it would matter how far or short the extension. unit works nicely

Hello,The cables can be extended up to 300ft without any interference. Extending cables require female-to-female BNC adapter to connect. Our cables that are included in the kit are 60ft long and you can find 100ft cables from our Amazon Web Store. Thank you

No it cannot. you might try using a shorter extension but am not the expert. So, i recommend you speak to an electrician.

I have a run much longer than that but what I used was a HDMI to cat5 or cat6 converter this worked well for me. Works up to 100' if you use cat6 cable for the longer run. These were just over $20 + the cat5 or cat6 cables.

I'm not an expert, but if you try/test it with a shorter cable and it works fine, I would say the run is too long. Hope that helps
