Hi all
I live next to a 5kW AM radio antenna, which in the past used to cause interference on analogue TVs in the area. Also sometimes when an audio jack has been half plugged into speakers, it can start playing the radio - the cable is acting as an antenna.
I'm planning to install some cameras. The longest run will be 50m of cable around the steel perimeter fencing running in plastic conduit. My question is should I consider shielded cable?
If the radio tower did interfere with the cable in someway, would it just limit bandwidth or cause noise in the video feed or connection issues or something else? I currently have some 10m and 15m ethernet cables running through the roof for general internet use and haven't noticed any issues watching 1440p videos and streams. I'm assuming the cameras will use more bandwidth though.
I've learned from the forums that if I bought shielded cable, then one end must be grounded, which doesn't seem too tricky, but it will add to the cost.
Thanks
