Buddy is offering me a TON of cat 5e cable free of charge. See attached pics.
  Would this be sufficient for a residential Reolink camera system? I read that twisted copper braids are NOT GOOD for cameras. Any way to determine if this is okay for my desired application? Thanks |

For indoor use, plain old unshielded twisted pair Cat 5e is more than sufficient. Even a 4K camera can't come close to maxing out the bandwidth of Cat 5e. I have several Hikvision 4K cameras going to an NVR on a Unifi Gigabit network. It's just fine.

An ATSC stream from a broadcast TV station is 19mbits.
It carries all the data for all the channels the station carries. |

Thank you guys a ton for the quick responses!!
So just to be sure-the cable I’ve pictured is good to go for my cameras? They would be outside mounted to my house. I swear I read something about twisted copper or unshielded copper inside the wire is a problem? |

Totally fine. I run Hikvision 4MP POE cameras and never have power or data issue
