5 years is an eternity in the security/surveillance market. I'll be attending my 8th consecutive ISC West security expo in March and you'd be surprised how fast things change in this industry from year to year.

Although "coax cams" (TurboHD, HD-TVI, etc.) have come a long way, those systems are typically deployed for convenience sake, where cable/power infrastructure is already in place. Those cams are also ultra cheap, but other than that, IP is the standard in more cases than not.

In terms of distance, you'd be surprised how far some of the new tech companies like Dahua are rolling out. I've tested multiple 4K cameras on their ePoE switches to well over 1000 ft over standard Cat5E. Granted, running anything of this nature over ~300 ft definitely makes me nervous, but at the end of the day, the results speak for themselves.
