RG59 normally with the 18 g 2 conductor for power cable is normally the best cable to use when your at distances under 1000 feet or 300 meters. (only use the RG59 with 95% copper ) There is an RG6 for camera use that is also 95% copper, don’t confuse this with RG6 for cable TV since it is aluminum. This specialized copper RG6 will work for cameras over 700 feet (also under lol)

You can also transfer the video over CAT5 or CAT6 phone cable using Balun connectors and you can get non-powered or powered balun connectors and run the camera that way for over a mile. You would normally power your camera at the location and run the video over the CAT5 back to your recorder etc….The non powered balun connectors are about $ 25 each. Do a search to find baluns and compare prices.
