Looks Good … “But No Cigar!”
By F. Marsh
I installed 3 Q-See QSC48030 surveillance cameras on the outside of my house. The primary two installations went without a hitch (the cameras are great) using the provided 60 foot cables but the third camera necessitated an 80 foot cable so I purchased the 100 foot Q-See brand cable. After reading the remarks in Amazon, I was not amazed to receive a white cable rather of a black one and in truth didn’t care one way or the other.

Horrible cables.
By Adam Schuermann
This 100 foot cable is exceedingly thin and cheap. I purchased 3 of these extensions to work with the Q-See-QSD6204-250 and 3 Q-See QSC48030 High Resolution Weatherproof CCD Camera. Out of the box 1 of the 3 100 foot cables were bad and as of the date of typing this review, 2 of the 3 60 foot cables that came with the cameras were bad.
The following is a quote from my review of the cameras, but because the cables are the same, and I had the same troubles with both sizes, it is necessary to include it.
[To say they were bad doesn't explain completely what you as a buyer will face when/if you buy this equipment. The cables (60 foot & 100 foot) are very thin, somewhat thicker then a toothpick. The video feed is actually a braided wire for shielding the signal and the power feed evidently has both positive and negative running even though it. So far the power feed has only given me difficulties by the connector popping detached (I mounted one camera in regards to 10 feet up in a tree and the weight of the wire pulled the power connection apart). The video feed cable connectors (bnc) are the weakest link. I would think bnc connectors are fine in most areas, the ease of attaching them with their locking capacity makes them very nice. However, the cables are so thin, when the cables are assembled both conductors may without intention be so close or genuinely touching, they short together. After the basi cable gave me difficultnesses I cut it open to thoroughly question the connection inside where the wires are soldered to the bnc connector. From the factory they fuse the plastic cover/grip at each end of the cable to the wire running through it. This is supposed to hold the wire from being pulled out when handling them, but because they are so thin the conductors may touch when the plastic insulation melts, thence rendering the cable useless.
The only choices I have, as I see it, are either:
(A) Making my own cables, this WILL end up being very expensive, at least a few hundred dollars (cable/wire, connectors, and any tools needed). Also, the bnc connectors are readily available, but the power connectors they use is not. I would need to modify the power connector on the camera side as well.
(B) Convincing Q-See into sending me alternate cables. I haven't contacted them yet, but I would think they would want me to return (at my expense) the wrong ones.
(C)Returning all the instrumentation to Amazon for a full refund less shipping (both ways). I am not happy with not having my shipping refunded. Faulty productions will have to not financially burden the buyer ever, manufacture quality stuff and don't trade crap.]

Other info: Both 60 and 100 foot cables are white, making them a bit harder to hide.
