I use cat6 23awg or 24awg solid cooper and it is fine. I know that it is not reconmended to use cca (aluminium) cable and more than cat6 it is waste of money. Cat5e will be ok too.

I'm ok
Most cameras run at 100M, so I just run cat 5, but I make sure it is solid copper, not CCA (copper clad aluminum).
If you have a POE switch with a giga port going back to your Blue Iris, you could run cat 6, but not required.
