I don't know what the specs mean, but maybe this will work:

I think that is same spec. (Great Price - Thanks. 20 AWG ) for the coax and 18AWG for the power. Only concern is if the "IC" denotes some sort ofsshielding whcih may be important if the car wash environment.

Just wondering why are you installing cameras with siamese cable? Everything you would want to use is cat 5-6now. I believe 1080p is the highest quality you can get on cable. For only a couple dollars more you can get 4k with cat 5/6 which is way easier to run and no power supplies necessary.

I have 18 Cameras in operation. Started out as a lower res system. Went to 1080P with same wiring. Original system was Q See system with the much smaller gauge wire. Some 1080P cameras did Ok with it. Some bad from the get go. Now 3 more need to have wiring upgraded. 1080 P is doing the job for me so I don't want to spend $ and labor to run 3000 or so feet of wire now to upgrade.

Wonder if thats the same qsee system I have?? I got a new iPhone and now I cannot get onto my system!!! Call qsee and they say buy a new system, we no longer support it?? I said ok I will do that, it'll be a Lorex though!!! why would I buy another system from you that you will just abandon after 5-6 years? Ridiculous answers they gave meas to how to handle remote logon. I have an older iphone that I use just for those cameras until I either upgrade system, or lease runs out.

Just to be clear. Current system not Q See. Just left the same wires for the Hikvision 1080 P system.
