Thank you so much for reply.

Please let me know the error in my diagram.

 

 

With cat5 or 6 you need to use the twist .... As in 1 pair.

6 cameras will need 6 pair.

 

And bad idea to use a common negitve for both camera video and power

You can run 4 cameras over one UTP cable, but only signals. Cameras must be supplied by separate cable or locally, because one 24AWG twisted pair of Cat5 or Cat6 is not enough to power the cameras.

It will work fine. UTP baluns are generally specified for signal transmission up to 300 m, CAT5 or CAT6 makes no difference. Avoid mounting cameras on metal (conductive) grounded surfaces to avoid interference.
