The signal for SDI and HD-SDI run over coax cable, RG-59. You need to consider how the camera will be powered. When running cable for CCTV often purchased is a "Siamese cable" that has two cables bonded together: an RG-59 coax for the video signal and an 18 or 16 gauge, 2 conductor cable for power (marked as 18/2 or 16/2 as in gauge/# of conductors in cable). The kits come with a 100' cable for every camera with the ends already on them. It's all a kit package and everything you need except a monitor.

I have a Canadian friend in New Brunswick. She lives in Centerville. You from around there?

I can't really see where getting the 16 channel makes sense either. From what I read the 16 channel only has 1 audio input where the 8ch has 8. The 8ch has 8 Alarm inputs and 1 output where the 16 is said to have none. ??? I'm pretty confused. See the attached picture for the comparison generated by the Manufacturers website. Hope this helps.
