I want to connect up to 4 ezcamII to a 4way usb hub, then be able to view all four cams on my pc for home security. My problem will be the lenght of each cam wire. How can i extend the wire from each cam to the hub inexpensively? I'm thinking maybe an adapter that will plug into the cam usb end (female) change to rj11 (telephone wire) or coaxial cable, changed back to usb, to plug in the usb hub. Help me?

I would suggest an adapter from USB to Cat5 ethernet cable (you can buy the cable in bulk at home depot cheap!). The speed may be quicker. Then have another adapter from cat5 to USB.

They have a package on sale right now that includes 3 remote cameras for $140. I'm not sure how much those ezcamII's are, but even if they are much cheaper, by the time you add in the cost of adapters and extra cables, the wireless cams might be cheaper - and definitely easier.
