bm_99 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Hey there people, just wondering if i wanted to put a camera on the back building of the house, distance from or to DVR is probably 50-55 meters max, would rg-59 cable be fine or would cat 5 with bnc baluns be better?? , all
PeterJames Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 cat 5 is better you can use powered baluns if you lose signal
PeterJames Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 cat 5 is still better you can put two or three cameras on the end if you need to
alterEGO Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 He said one camera..............................................................so shut it. I agree from an installers POV, we use CAT5 on 90% of installs, but only due to the cost savings and ease of installation.

If he changes his mind after he's run the coax he's stuffed, is he stuffed after running the cat 5? I dont think so chck mate! not only that the picture is much better on twisted pair
Scotmod Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 for that length of run go for whatever cable you can get the cheapest.
