Long distance POE 4 Camera System

[7600e]

Hi all!

I've been lurking past few weeks I am needing some advice. I'm not a professional installer however I have installed a coax hilook system in my house recently and I've crimped cat5e cables etc etc before. Im looking at installing a 4 camera system to my work. A central building with two underground pipes going to two locations, each with two pole mounted cameras. The first location is around 100m away and the second is 200-300m away. I was originally going to use a coax system again but I think I may need a IP system correct (due to the long distances)? I would like to stick with the hilook range, its cheap, easy to get hold of and seems to be reliable. I can also use the hilook app which has my home system on it anyways.

Are these distances too far? Local power isn't really an option as its outdoors. Will I be able to use cat5e indoor cable if its in conduit? Will I need solid core or is CCA okay?

Appreciate the help in advance!

100m for IP CAT5e or CAT6 is the theoretical limit when used for 10/100/1000base-T. A network switch will be required for lengths greater than 100m. Yes, indoor CAt5e/CAT6 maybe used in conduit. While CCA cable will work, solid core copper will be more reliable & have consistent performance.

When shopping for Cat5e or Cat6 network cables, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. One of the most common tactics of the “low cost leaders&

Yes, it could be, but IMO, it should not, if the conduit is underground. CAT-5e or CAT6 cable in underground conduit should be rated for direct burial as over time, it will be in water 24/7/365 or in constant severe condensation.
