Security cameras

[Clemson13]

I little more pricey than some of the options, but I have been very happy with my ubiquity system. Everything is stored locally. No monthly fees. Alerts are on point, I rarely get a false alert and it just plain works. I was sick of fighting with my cheap cobbled together system.

Same system, works flawlessly. Let's me know if anyone enters the driveway or is around there house with a pic on my phone instantly. Awesome.

What's a good cable what won't die after a few months. I've replaced all my cheap eBay cables at least once now.

You are running cat6 poe cameras?

Just an example, I am not sure of this brand.
Id hit up a security equipment supplier in your area to buy some spools of cable.
My son worked for a security company for a little bit and they had a ton of partial spools they couldn't use because they weren't long enough, you might be able to buy off them for beer money.

The terminals are RJ-45 in many flavors for the correct cable used.

There are shielded and un shielded ends but IMO these cameras aren't that critical, I use regular 20 year old cat5 cable with unshielded terminals.
