Network Camera Installation on 1000 Mtrs. area

So far i have only installed the network cameras with below 50-60 metres cabling on Cat6/Cat5. Now i was wondering what if i have 1000 meters of distance from Camera location to my Server room. Shall i install switches on every 100 meters (each one feeding the next) or do fibre (which i don't have much knowledge of).

I am open to suggestions if someone could suggest a better way to connect the cameras to my 1000 meter path like fiber, DSL, etc..

So how is it going to be if i am going for fibre connection like how the structure would be. As long as i have a basic idea of this fibre connection, i guess we need a media converter near to camera and the fibre will terminate at the fiber switch and again converting it to the switch ? isn't it ?

If you have never installed fiber, I would not suggest trying it with out some form of training. I suggest getting a cabling vendor to run and terminate the fiber for your into a LC patch panel on both sides and then using the appropriate patch cables to get into your swith and/or media converter.

From someone who has used many of these devices, I would go with gerwinjansen's advice and purchase two so that they you won't have problems with the media conversion since your are converting with the same device at both ends.
