Lorex offers two different types of wired HD security camera systems - Digital and Analog. Each type of system uses different technologies to provide high-definition video. The type and length of extension cables you can use depend on the type of system you have.

Digital IP systems use CAT5 or CAT5e (or higher) ethernet cabling to connect IP cameras to the network or a Network Video Recorder (NVR). This cable simultaneously transmits video and audio (if applicable) to the NVR and provides power to the camera.
Analog security cameras transmit high-definition analog video over shielded or RG59 (or higher) BNC cables to a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). Lorex offers siamese BNC cables, which split into two ends, one for video and one for power.
