The transformer shipped with the SWANN Maxi Day/Night Camera will not fit this cable. Swann said they would send an adaptor but have not done so.

I installed the original Q-see 100ft(Q-See QS100B) and 50ft cable on my 4 cameras and all suffer huge noise especially on the 100ft one. There is no shielding at all for Q-See cable, so the video quality suffer.
Then I found this Swann 100ft from Frys store and the result is amazing ! All the noise is gone for all my 4 cameras. There is no more annoying scanning lines at all. The shielding in this cable is doing a great job. Trust me. Save you some time. Don't buy the Q-See cable. Five more dollars will give you much better video quality. Now I have to remove all the Q-See cables from my wall and replace all them with this cable. Again, shielding really makes different !

Theses cables were easy to use, got here quick and worked perfectly. No porblems. It even comes with male/female adapters. Good product.

I got the cable for my home video surveillance system. The cable is very well made an a great value.

These cables work fine and the quality seems to be good. However, since buying these I have found another source for similar cables that is considerably cheaper. I wish that I had looked harder before ordering these.

I used this cable for my night vision Q-SEE QSB550SR camera. At day time everything worked just fine, but at night the camera would just turn off automatically. It turned out the electric current from the power adapter was just getting "lost" in the cable. So the camera simply did not get enough power for its IR lenses.
This cable may work OK if you plan to use it with a small regular camera without the night vision function, but I don't recommend it for the night vision cameras.

I bought several of these when setting up a DVR security system at the vacation house. One of the cables shipped with the wrong DC power connectors, but the ones that connect correctly work great. Good video transmission (in a hot and humid environment) and easy connects (the tear-away DC connectors seem unnecessary, but may be convenient if you need that). All in all, I think it's a worthwhile buy. I am disappointed in the incorrect parts included, but I expect that support will correct that soon. The quality of the cables seems great otherwise.

An update: I contacted Swann support via email, and they did send me the correct parts. The cables have been working great for 2 years in conditions that quickly degrade most electronic components (hot, humid, salty beach air).
