So I’ve read myself into another decision that I didn’t know I had to make. Shed mounted cameras.
I’m thinking at least 3 cameras, one is definitely a PTZ5A4M 25x. Maybe a pair of t54ir ze s3 also. Three 4mp cams.
I figure a POE+ switch in the shed so only 1 wire going from house to shed. Currently I have a 4” conduit, buried 4 feet down, running from my basement the inside the shed. In that conduit is a 100 amp power cable. I have a 100 amp breaker box in the shed. I weld in there at times.
I had planned on just running a direct burial, gel filled, cat 6 cable in the 4 inch conduit. Yes the power cable is in there. Then I started reading on here.
Distance through the conduit is right around 150 feet. Total wire run from switch to switch would be under 200 feet.
So what should I do? I can do anything. Gel filled cat 6 which I have, I can get fiber optics. I’d prefer to run through the existing conduit but I can put in another conduit with ease too. Won’t be 4 feet deep. Maybe just 12 inches.
I can use a wireless bridge. I do have clear line of sight. Straight line distance between antennas would be around the 150 foot mark.
What would give me the best results? What would you do?
