johna 0 Posted August 16, 2014 I am building a new house. Went out to visit it today in order to run some additional CAT6 that the builder wasn't going to do for me. I asked them to install 6 points of CAT6 for future cameras. They ran CAT6, power wires, and coax. Now I am confused as to what type of system to install. I had planned on a PoE type system using the CAT6, but now my options seem to be wide open. It is all in my telecom closet where I have plenty of room to integrate everything. If you had a decent budget, what would you do? HD SDI? IP? What is the most trouble free and future proof? Any thoughts would be great. JohnA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgb 0 Posted August 17, 2014 Easy decision. Go with the IP using the Cat 6. Its the top option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunnyKim 2 Posted August 18, 2014 Cat6 is for IP camera. Coax is for analog, HD-SDI, HD-CVI, kinds, and all old types of cable TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
