    Hi guys.

    Not sure if this is posted already can't seem to find one

    Anyway, I'm putting in a couple of calving cameras and the dvr will be in the yard and the router is in the house which is 300 mtrs away. So my question is, if I run the cat 5 to the router at ghe length of 300 mtrs would it be ok to view on mobile phone??

    On CAT 6 it should be fine.
    Is this cable to run externally?

    I have had much longer runs on CAT 6 without issue. As long as you aren't depending on POE.

    Cat 5 not ok for that length I have a house to garage run of 70M using cat 5 and it needed a second router at the other end as the delay was noticeable. Defo cat 6
