Which Security Camera Cable Is Ok For You
There are two basic types of security camera cable that you can use to hook up your system. This article will look at both kinds of security camera cable to decide which is the right one for you.
Plug and Play Cable Versus RG59
Plug and play security camera cable is just that, a cable that you can simple hook up and be done with. Usually it comes in standard lengths of 25, 65 and 100 feet. 100 feet is about the longest you can run this security camera cable, so if you require more length you are going to have to look at the second option.
Even if you are under a hundred feet with plug and play security camera cable there are things that can affect your signal. Be sure that if you are running it you minimize the amount of background noise that will affect the signal. A prime culprit can be florescent lighting.
This cable will carry power to your cameras, but so does RG59. In addition the connectors on plug and play security camera cable are standard RCA so they will be easy to hook up to most devices.
The plug and play cable can go directly into your camera and from there to a television or VCR, making this cable type the perfect choice for someone looking to hook a system quickly and easily.
The second type, RG59, has some advantages over plug and play but can be more complicated to hook up. RG59 cable can run up to a thousand feet so distance should not be a problem. In addition, the wire is much more durable and can handle interference and outdoor factors much better than plug and play.
It also can be tailor cut to the length you need so that you are not wasting any cable nor have any loose ends hanging around. However the difficult part about this is that each piece needs to be customer cut and you will have to buy a specialized stripping tool. Cutting and fitting this cable can be difficult but it is not impossible.
So there you have it. Depending on what your camera application is it will dictate which cable you need to use. Long, outdoor applications should probably lean towards RG59, while shorter indoor ones will be fine with plug and play. Hopefully this article has helped you make the right cable decision, so go out there and get the one you need with confidence.

Does anyone know where you can find a USB cable for the Megxon K9 camera?
I've had a look around the internet but I can't find anything. Is this cable compatible with the K9 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro-Megxon-Camera-Cable-T5100Z/dp/B000QUXXOY/ref=cm_cd_pdp?_encoding=UTF8&cdPage=1&cdERR=noPurchase#CustomerDiscussionsPost?
All Mini Usb cables are the same. Here's one cheaper. Doesn't come any cheaper than this!
