Belden twisted or cat 5 will work fine , external grade if you are clipping it outside , normal if in conduit or direct from rear , in all fairness if it’s a short run 10 m even alarm cable will work ..

I’ve tried alarm cable but when using it reboots the camera ? For instance after a couple seconds of use maybe 5/6 it reboots I’ve used two controllers and does the same .
 
It’s just a data connection ….camera may be faulty ? It’s not a branded unit
