Traditional installers force you to pull fresh Ethernet, adding expense and disruption. This extender uses Veracity’s full-rate Ethernet over coax, letting you upgrade to IP cameras without the hassle of new runs. It fits perfectly for retrofits, expansions, or temporary setups where speed and reliability matter.

- Cost saving: eliminates the need for new Ethernet cable.
- Quick installation: plug-and-play design reduces labour time.
- Reliable power: POE over coax keeps cameras running without separate supplies.
- Easy troubleshooting: SafeView display shows status instantly.
Usages of a 500 m Camera Extender
Ideal for retail stores, offices, schools or warehouses where existing coax lines run long distances. Use it to connect security cameras in parking lots, hallways or remote corners without digging new trenches or pulling cables.
