For one, it's a battery hog (that, or the battery's too small), lasting about three hours in my tests before going back to the cradle or having to run plugged in (the power cable's reasonably long at eight feet).
Installation of these do-it-yourself security kits is a breeze thanks to simple Cat5E cabling that offers a range up to 400 feet for HDTV cameras (no separate cable is required to power the cameras) and a robust feature set that takes the guess work and hassle out of integrating the system within one's network.
The innovative cable compensation feature automatically calibrates all cables at distances up to 328 feet to ensure optimal bass performance.

These microcells are small devices, about the size of a DSL or cable modem, that create a local cellular service zone up to about 40 feet from the device in which you can make and place cell phone calls and, if you have a smartphone, use data services to access the Internet.
At 400 kilovolts, a standard value for long-distance transmission, an alternating current 30 metres (100 feet) from the ground has a fortieth of the loss of a similar cable at ground level.
In a smaller loop of, say, 4, 000 feet, data can hum along at up to 6 megabits per second, nearing cable modem speeds.
