Introduction

Selecting the right cables is paramount to ensure reliability of surveillance. Let's discuss various types of cables used in the CCTV industry, shedding light on their features, applications, and recommended usage.

CCTV Cable Types:

There are two primary cable types – network cables and coaxial cables, each catering to distinct CCTV setups.

1. Network Cables
2. Coax Cable Security Camera Systems

1. Network Cables: Connectivity Options 🌐🔌

Network cables serve a pivotal role in both analog and IP CCTV systems. Among the most commonly used network cables is the twisted pair, falling under the category of RJ45 or CAT 6/ CAT 5 cables. These cables efficiently transmit both power and data. However, it's crucial to note that the recommended transmission distance for RJ45 cameras is 100 meters, even though theoretical limits may extend to 150 meters. To ensure optimal quality, sticking to the 100-meter guideline is advisable.
