Martin,

Although I've not done it, I believe others have run CCTV over cat5. Coax
would also be fine though. Remember to add power cables if you want
pan/tilt/zoom facilities.

Run more than 2x CT100 cables to the dish !! Sky+ _requires_ 2 feeds to the
digibox, then you're stuffed if you want another box elsewhere :-)

HTH,

Tim H.

I need some advice from all you gurus out there.  About to start cabling
my new house, need to rush through it before the builder starts boarding
up everything in sight.  I need to run cables to positions which will
have external cameras - I may use wireless ones, but I want to put the
cabling in just in case.  What cable should I use?  I have both coax and
CAT5, and would prefer the latter - iis this feasible?

I also want to run cables to the sat dish so that I can use 2 digiboxes.
Do I need two cables to the dish, or one and a splitter of some kind?

Many thanks
Martin
