[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 6662533, member: 1103"] Keep the fixed Cat6 cable runs to under 90 metres and 100 metres in total including any (patch or fly leads) cables at either end of the link. Its simplest and easiest to run the Cat6 cabling back to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant network switch which will provide the cameras with power supplied over the network cabling. You only need a modest 4 port switch. Less than £100. Netgear are generally very good, and it’s what I prefer to fit. I have recently updated all my IP cameras from Panasonics to HIKVision units. They are excellent really. Axis and Flir have a good name too, but will be less bang for buck. I also have a couple of larger Reolink PTZ cameras and found them very good. I would recommend you fit no less than a 2 megapixel resolution cameras and ideally 4 megapixel, which should provide excellent detail. Also ensure they have built in Infra Red (IR) illumination and good performance at low light (< 1 lux) levels. Unless you want the ability to have the camera rotate, tilt and zoom, that is pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) type then a simple fixed “bullet” camera ought to be sufficient. [/QUOTE]
