Hi, Thank you in advance.
I have a large project in progress at my house, with an entire floor down to studs. My wife recently asked if we could put a couple of outside security cameras (probably roughly four). I've started reading a lot of article about systems however it's difficult to find something that's up-to-date with technology.
I understand the following question is going to be hard to answer without having a cameras or a dvr already purchased. But, I'm looking to run the cables so I have them in place and I'll buy what's required later.
My first basic question is:
What type of cables should we run? Cat5, Cat6, or Siamese. I understand that Cat 6 is capable of higher bandwidth, however is that really a future concern? I originally thought we would just run Siamese cable but now I'm questioning that.
Basically, what would I be happy or "not disappointed" that I ran, when I set this up in the future (1 year from now).
We are also looking for highest reasonable quality. Money is not a major concern, obviously it's a home system so we aren't spending $1000 a camera. I know that reasonable quality is relative.
Any info or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
