I'd run no less than CAT-6 of # 23 AWG, the larger gauge will help with the power to the PTZ's if they're a good distance and/or require POE+.

Insure it is pure, solid copper, not CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) with a CMR jacket rated for use in attic, crawlspaces, in-walls and between floors. CMP (Plenum) is more expensive but can be used where CMR (Riser) is required but not vice-versa (cannot use CMR where CMP is required).

Insure the RJ-45 connectors are for #23 gauge AND are for solid conductors.
