[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 710198, member: 75318"] I bought some self powered USB extenders for our village webcam. I got them off eBay - sort of have a built in hub (I think) very similar to this [URL="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10m-USB-2-0-EXTENSION-CABLE-active-repeater-extender-/250763225008?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a62a727b0"]here[/URL]. By using one of these along with a standard USB extension lead I managed to get the webcam working OK on a 20m lead. It is a cheap Logitech webcam only working at 640x420, and running into a USB 1.0 port on a old laptop. I think the problem is down to the delay caused by the length of cable, it is not power loss or anything else. I suspect this is really at its limit of operation - I have tried a higher res camera and it wouldn't work. HTH, M [/QUOTE]
