[QUOTE="sleepy, post: 142785, member: 1"] We do this sort of stuff every day, mainly for wind turbines but also for milking robots and CCTV. We have the gear to fusion splice fibre (don't ask what that little machine cost!) and can make up whatever length you want ready to be pulled through a conduit. We can do the armoured stuff but that tends to work out expensive. I'd recommend always going with at least 4 cores if not 6 or 8, if you go with 2 cores and one breaks you are stuffed. The media converters are relatively simple but it's a matter of getting the right connectors on everything (there are about 10 different designs of fibre connectors). Generally we just put together a complete 'kit' with everything you or a sparky needs to set a complete link up with a full instruction manual written in simple language. We also have a few contacts who can install but it pushes the price up. But I'd still recommend wireless, 150Mbps is enough for 10- 50 IP cameras depending on settings and you can get WiFi links that will push 1.5Gbps if necessary... If you need an intermediate station just use an extra transmitter, solar panel and a camera. [/QUOTE]
