I got the camera but the supplied cable is too short to be used anywhere in my home.
I can maybe get
1- Long USB cable (with a slender snout).
2- USB Extension cable (Better as the power hole for camera is a bit small)
3- Power cord extension and then use the supplied cable + Power adapter
Now I am looking for a 4th option.
TIA
20,000mah Xiaomi Powerbank2? It would power the camera for a pretty long time, although you'd have to remember to charge it.
Good suggestion. I may add some cheapo powerbank as I have one lying around but hard to climb their every week.
Ok, good luck.
the cable came with my IP camera are pretty long tho…tbh longest of ive received for being a micro usb…
if we are talking about same cable..you better not get any longer cable than this…
I would go for:
2- USB Extension cable
They can come very long and are not very expensive.
5 m for 6 AUD delivered. This is my current choice as well.
make sure you take into account USB cable's internal resistance, which causes a loss in power the longer the cable is.

I was thinking to take a long USB cable and then put a powerbank in it and use the output to be sent to the camera.
There will be a voltage drop for sure. But the camera may not complain. Need to test these things by weekend.
The test failed with a 5m USB extension and a 1.5 metre supplied cable.
