I just bought a security camera system that has power over ethernet which uses just a single ethernet cable to provide power and video. It comes with 82ft (25 meters) of cord and wanted to know if it will still work if I use a longer one or what is the maximum distance this can fully function at?

I'd like one camera to be around 150 feet away.

If it follows the 802.3af spec you can run PoE to 100m on Cat5/6.

Who makes the camera?
