You really want to run network cables (Cat 5/6) instead of COAX/BNC. And I would suggest two per location. Easier to add something else, or you'll have a spare. Cables are inexpensive enough to do that.
If I go POE, would this be all that I needed to install or do I need anther cable for power, or something else?
You only NEED one, but again, I suggest two.
You will also need a POE injector though. That might be a separate device, or a POE enabled switch/router.
Thanks CMV, the quality of those pictures looks pretty good.

Would this be the best cable? I would rather pay a few bucks more for the best option then cut any corners.

Thank you. That helps. Since I only need two cables right now, do you feel that it's worth spending $12 more per cable for Cat 6 over Cat 5? Or $24 more for both cables if I go with Cat 6?
