CATV Cable is not a good idea for CCTV systems. CATV cable has an outer shielding that causes interferance.

 

A solid center is better with 95% copper braiding.

 

If you are installing a camera that moves (PTZ), then the stranded center conductor is better.

 

RG-59 for under 200 meters, RG-6 for longer runs.
