Gonna put up an ip camera in the garden and see what wildlife comes by at night.

What is the distance rating of Cat6? I thought more like 33m?
When used for [10/100/1000] BASE-T (which I do), the maximum length of Cat 6 cable is 100 meters.
(Frigate is already pulling a steady and stable stream)
I think that’s only for 40GBASE. For say 1000BASE, it’s 100m. Could be wrong though.
There’s even an extend.mode on some POE switches that’s good for 250m or so, but it drops to 10Mbps. That’s possibly enough for a POE camera with one client, though.
CAT6 is rated for 10Gbps up to 55m or 1Gbps up 100m. In reality, outside with no other RF interference sources speed losses upto 100m are going to be negligible even on CAT5.
Even a 4k video stream only uses 24Mbps on average so whatever you use above CAT5/5e would be more than enough.
