Thx gents

I'm am going to have some (under 200' and under) runs of cable I am pulling, in my existing house. Is CCA cat 5e cable ok, or does it need to be solid copper? This will be for future IP cameras (or whatever camera it is that will run with the cat5 cable. I'm just doing this wire running now, as it is inline with a current project. Hopefully the CCA is good enuff. Thx, DM

Also, I'll assume I need to get the solid, and not the stranded, correct?

Removed needless message

Going with 6. See it offered with shielding. Longest 2 runs will be 120' each. I will end up needing at least 2 1000' rolls as will have around 12 runs. Do I need it shielded or not? Thx dm

Crap, wut I thought. I'll redo these other long runs and replace with solid. Suck having to troubleshoot later, to "wonder" if the cca is an issue. Thx for heading me in the correct direction. Dm

Good info. Like one poster made comment I will use an ip set up. I'll have to do a bunch research. Thx

Hello. I have pre-run cat5 (or maybe it was 6) throughout my attic area. I need good IR and weather proofed cams maybe 8-12 each (will sit under the eave) and around a 2 TB HD. (expandable for more cams) I want it accessible with iPhone and also with movement detection an email is sent with the photo. There has been a rash of home invasions in the Indianapolis area and I want to be better protected. These cams need clarity. No need of installing somethings that will only show a figure. Oh and the range of the cameras, I would say need to get out at least 50-75 feet. I was in hopes that someone could list a system here or a link. If I don't have to piece it together...well that'd be nice. Whatever it takes and I do thank you for any help. DM I was looking at something like this, but I doubt the cams are that great.... http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SDS-P5100N-Channel-Security-Cameras/dp/B00CTUU0E0

Are the cams nite vision?

Recommend of a product or system? Thank you

$2500. 30-50 feet. I only threw that system out for i saw at a retail club. I had a hunch it was junk. My house has an alarm system.

Hello and looking fwd to learning some things here on security cams. I'll try to find the appropriate area to post. Thx for having me. DM
