Looking for recommendations for homebrew security system cameras (midwest.social)

A friend of mine is helping me with setting up a Linux-based homebrew security system set up. He's currently using Wyze cameras, but they are faulty and have ads on them, so I'd like to find something more open-source/closed system that I can control completely. Any recommendations or pointers in the right direction would be great.

How far can you run PoE lines?

IEEE standard is 100m

I've h6ave very long runs before and they worked.

But you need solid copper wire for that to work. No stranded or CCA

This but also if you’re going to a 100m run keep in mind that also assumes everything randombullet said is true plus at least 22-24awg and kept under 20c. If you’re truly looking at runs that long it’s time to consider fiber imo.
