Great Camera Cables, Very Thin Though!
All cables came working and without any flaws, they all worked and haven't had a problem with them. The only "bad" thing about these cables is that they are VERY THIN compared to the camera cables you get when you buy a camera/dvr system (The Swann 4 camera system I bought had much thicker, more sturdy cables). They all work great, but any animal or sharp corner will cut these cables for sure. I don't advise getting these IF YOUR CABLES ARE EXPOSED OUTSIDE. My cables however are immediately running into the house from the cameras, so not even an inch of cable is showing outside, therefore the thin cables aren't a problem for me. If you can be careful while running these cables and not end up cutting or splitting them, they work great! The video quality is the same for me as the cables that came with my system, so the thin-ness of these doesn't affect qulaity at all, you just have to be careful while running them. As with all camera cables (not just this brand), the point where they split into power and video at both ends WILL SPLIT VERYYYY EASILY...I suggest putting electrical tape around these points on each end of your cables before running them to prevent accidental damage (I split one of the 4 cables I had while simply unwinding the cable from the plastic spool they came on, they are that easy to split so follow this suggestion unless you want faulty cables!) I highly reccomend these cables if you are ok with them being a little thinner than standard camera cables, but with the same great quality.

Great cabling though - way the wires are wrapped makes it a mess to install
Cabling was great. But the wires are wound such that the dvr and and camera end are bundled together. This makes it a real pain to use because it will become a twisted tangled mess as soon as you start to unwind it. The best method I found was to unwind it outside on the floor unrolling is so the two wires are laid down. Next you have to pick one end and then manually unwind it from the other end as you spool it up. Its a real pain to work with this cabling. Most people probably want to fish the dvr end through a hole and have all the other cable - camera end all spooled up. This cable is just not going to help you at all in this regard its a major pain. It would help alot if the supplier either spooled it so the two end strands where not intertwined - or provided some kind of plastic widget thing to make unwinding less of a pain. Just be prepared to be doing a lot of spaghetti unwinding with this cables which will add a lot of time to your camera wiring job. Would have given it 5 stars if the cable winding made more sense.

Directions for unspooling
Because both ends are spooled together, rather than starting at one end and ending at the other, you need to unspool before use or you get a big knot. Here's how to unspool:1. put a "stick" or pole through the center (I actually used a long drill bit)2. unspool a little and put a weight on it (i used a box of supplies, but you could have someone hold the ends, but this just keeps it in place and puts tension on the cable)3. walk backwards making a circular motion to have the cable unspool off of the "stick" (holding both ends of the "stick", push down and away from you, then roll up and around toward you...that sort of circle)Given the length you may need to put another weight and circle back and forth near the same area.You might have a few stops to release a cable from the "stick" that got tangled, but it's incredibly easier than trying to just unspool the bundle.I haven't been able to test the cable yet. I'm waiting for the house to get done, but it should do the job.

I like the cables thus far
I like the cables thus far, having installed everything over the past 2 days. They look good so far on the big high res screens, and, no failures. The thing that I absolutely HATE about these cables is that it takes forever to unwind them.You see, they come to you wrapped up nicely, but, tangled together. So somebody joined both ends together and then twisted 150 ft of cable together, then wound it up into a circle and twist-tied it.If you're okay with paying this much for decent cable, and spending an hour untangling & unwrapping each cable, then buy this one.Oh, and you'll need to purchase female-to-female power adapters for Swann systems (otherwise you'll end up with 2 male power adapters facing each other at the box). If you are adding these on to existing white swann cable thats already plugged into your box, you'll also need to purchase female-to-female BNC adapters. And, if you wish to chain these cables together on each other (so 150ft + 150ft, you will still need a female-to-female BNC adapter, as BOTH ENDS OF THIS CABLE ARE MALE BNC.A very frustrating cable to add to a swann system, however, worth it ONLY in terms of function. You will pay for these cables in the time it takes you to unwrap and unwind the intentionally tangled 150 feet of mess that you receive for each cable, right out of the box, as well as the multiple adapters you will need to buy. The adapters that come in the box are female-to-male BNC, which are actually useless since these cables are all MALE-to-MALE BNC.

the items worked fine. I would recommend it but would also recommend ...
The system that I bought came with 50ft cables so I wanted to get the longer cables as extensions. I assumed that the connectors would work as splitters (silver connectors) inside the package would work to connect both cables together. However, this did not work because they were both male ends. I am not sure why they would send those since most people who purchase the products, are using them as extensions to already existing cables. Other than that, the items worked fine. I would recommend it but would also recommend to get the correct connectors if you intend to add this to already existing cables.
