It probably will, as long as you get a good high quality cable and power brick. The camera will receive less power the longer the cable, and a cheap cable especially will degrade more and more ---

I have a V3 connected to a 25 foot USB A cable. The male end of the cable is plugged into the supplied V3 power adapter which is plugged into a smart switch. The provided USB cable is plugged into the female end of the 25 ft. cable. I don’t have an OG ---

Looks like WYZE only offers 12.5 ft power cable I have three v3s connected with 40 ft USB cables like one below. None of them are powered with supplied power bricks. I am using 4.8 Amp power bricks shown below.

Yes it will. On one of my cameras the siren cuts off sometimes as well as the two way radio. That one camera is the farthest from the router. The other two function fine. ---

Hey there @IEatBeans! Do you happen to know what the maximum cable length is before there’s not enough voltage to power something like a Wyze Pan Cam v3? Can you recommend any good cables? Can you recommend any good power bricks? ---

It’s very hard to suggest individual items, because length of the cable as well as other factors are very important. I definitely recommend you read this, theres a lot of useful info and links: > [@Long-Run USB Power Cords electric\_plug](https://forums.wyze.com/t/long-run-usb-power-cords/252478): > > So you need to run a long USB power cord to power a camera or device. Here are some things you should be aware of. First, the longer a cable gets, the lower the voltage that will be available at the end of the cable. At some point, the voltage will be too low for the device. Also, the higher the current required at the device, the lower the voltage that will be available. So higher-current devices need shorter runs than their peers. The USB spec asks that all voltages be at least 4.75V. D… The Wyze 20ft extension cable is probably your best bet, and you may want to find a higher voltage usb block as well (like the ones suggested on that link) ---

You already have the Nekmit and they’re as good as they come. All my cameras are outdoors and powered by those adapters. They fit nicely in a weatherproof outlet enclosure including a smart plug. ![IMG_1978](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/3X/0/a/0a24b5b91de98eab1ffa99b4430c32c1cb5a22ec.jpeg) ---

Ahh Active USB cables! I know this exists for USB-C but wasn’t aware it did outside of that. Thank you!
