I did this a couple of years ago with some cheap cameras from one of
the DIY stores (Homebase I thknk). The cameras were black and white
with audio and over a length of 50m they seemed fine. All I did was
cut the cable in half that was attached to the camera (it had a din
plug of some sort on it) and attach a RJ45 plug to either end. I was
then able to plug the camera in anywhere in the house and patch the
the other end at the patch panel.
