For wired DVR and NVR camera kits:

Every security system kit and add-on camera includes a video extension cable that is 60 ft (18 m) long.
If you need longer cables, they are available for purchase separately on https://www.swann.com.
For details, see Where can I buy accessories?

Note: If you wish to extend the cables longer than 60 ft (18 m), please follow the power requirements in the following articles:

For PoE cameras connected to an NVR, the maximum Ethernet cable length before you need an additional power source depends on the standard:

Typical limit: Up to 100 meters (328 ft) for standard Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable under IEEE 802.3af/at PoE specifications.
Beyond this distance, voltage drop can cause the camera to lose power or become unstable.
In that case, you’ll need:
- A local power supply near the camera. See What power adapter should I use?
- A PoE extender. See How to Setup an NVR and NHD Cameras Connected via PoE Switch
