Just watched a video on Balun's and they recommend doubling up on the POWER connections, but is this really necessary for cable runs less than 300 ft and DC powered? Because obviously I'll lose that one set of cables that I could of used for a second camera in the same area. Also, which Cat5 cable is the best for balun's? There's cat5e, cat6, etc..

Great, so what systems have you installed with great success? Should I avoid brands like Q-See, Swann, and other Fry's bought DVR systems?

Great info! What about conduit? Do you run your cables through or just run the cables? For both indoor and outdoor..

Wow very informative thanks!! Just one more question, regarding the power supply on the Cat5 cable, am I supposed to buy some sort of connector for each end of the cat5 so that they will be compatible with the power connections on standard security cameras?

Wow thanks! I have many more questions so hope to see you soon.
