And I have had no issues at all. These are installed outdoors, up and down buildings and such in basic PVC conduit and have pole lights and building lighting around and the like. I have one right around 485-490 feet and then several others installed in the 400-450 foot range with no problems at all of any kind. These are all Hikvision cameras that I'm testing on right now and all are running on basic POE from my switch. These are all at one location, but I have a few other 400 foot plus runs going right now, one between switches that has been working fine for a few months now and shows zero errors in the managed switch logs.
I figured it was time to test it in real work conditions as I was getting fine results it the limited testing I was doing in my office. In the office I have 487 feet that I can connect to my desktop and laptop and still get gigabit speeds on, I connected it to a 4k TV and streamed 4k video with no issues at all and of course cameras worked perfectly.
Better yet, these long cable run cameras (10 IP cameras, 6 over 330 feet for sure) are all going back to a Ubiquity Nanostation wireless shot back to the DVR. The wireless has been working fine for 4 IP cameras for 1.5 years at least now so no worries there at least. I figure when testing why not go for broke!
If I were to have run cable only my farthest camera would have been 1000 feet away so even analog was not going to work well. Now I see it in IP glory!
It will be interesting to see if this holds up, the location of this install is in a area of a TON of snow and the weather is brutal in the winter. If they hold up here then I will be very pleased!
