Hello HAlqaramani,
Greetings again,
A- Please regarding the cameras, can you tell me the :
1- camera stream kind ( H.264 | MPEG-4 | MJPEG )
2- camera resolution ( 1,2,3,...Mega pixels )
3- video quality ( High | Medium | Low )
4- frame rate (1,2,3,..... frame per second)
according to these data we can count the bandwidth needed to transfer the data through the trunking cables ( cables between building )
B- Regarding Fiber optics, usually, I use single mode (SM) fiber optic cables between buildings which is granting the faster bandwidth than the multi mode (MM), however the distance between your buildings doesn't require SM as MM is enough, but I usually connect building with single mode as the price difference is not a big deal! and the second reason that makes me choose the single mode is for any future expansion of the network, which means that maybe later on you will need to change the cameras, to better ones that require more bandwidth, or to add more devices like PCs, servers, etc. so it will be a big cost to install new cables !
Also, it's very important to put in consideration that the shielding of the fiber optics affecting the price, so you can find a bad shielded SM cheaper that a good shielded MM! so don't you should give some attention to the environment of the fiber optic will be placed in, for example outdoor or indoor, underground or in air etc..)
so for example the upper photo shows a cheaper fiber optic (loose tube) than the lower one as the lower one has Armor, aramid fibers and dry water-blocking which is saving the fiber cable resistible more than the left one!
**According to your project I would go for SM with 4 cores, 1 for rx, 1 for tx, and 2 as a reserve!
So this was about the fibers that will be between the buildings, but what about the fibers that will be within the cabinets?
Here we go, if you choose SM, it means that everything will be SM otherwise it will not work together so you can not mix, you need to concentrate during the purchasing process that everything is compatible!
When you install the fiber between the buildings until reaching each cabinet, now will come the time of Splicing!
and this is the process of putting connectors to the end of the fiber cables, at this moment you will need to purchase ODF (optical distribution frames) one for each cabinet!
**According to your project I would go for ODF with 4 SC ports housing and 2 LC-LC SM duplex adapters and 4 SM simplex LC pigtails each 1.5 meter and 4 protective sleeves (this is for each building excluding the main one, I will consider that they are 8 building if I am not mistaken), for the main building, you will need a big ODF with minimum 16 SC ports housing and 16 LC-LC SM duplex adapters and 32 SM simplex LC pigtails each 1.5 meter and 32 protective sleeves.
The left picture shows the ODF for the normal building within it the blue LC-LC adapters and the yellow pigtails, while the right picture shows the ODF for the main building!
Then after splicing we need to buy the patch cords, and the SFPs.
**According to your project, you will need 16 LC-LC SM duplex patch cords * 1.5 meter. and 16 SM duplex LC SFP that is compatible with the kind of the chosen switches
The left picture shows the LC duplex SFP while the right one shows the patch cord!
Now we are almost done from the Fiber optic issue.
C- You will need to buy the switches, cabinets, cable organizers, utp cables and patch panel.
**According to your project I would go *for switches: to Cisco 2960*24 ports switches with minimum 1 port for SFP in case of small buildings while for the main building I would go for Cisco 3750*12 Ports fiber switch | for UTP cables: it depends is there in the building electromagnetic waves or the cables will lay nearby a power cables, if so, you will need to buy SFTP Shielded Foiled Twisted Pairs cables! | for the Patch panels: you can buy any patch panel 24 ports for each building except for the main building, I don't know how many PC will be connected there!.
I do believe that I have informed you sufficiently, so that you can be now aware of every thing you need to design and install such a project, but anyway don't hesitate to ask anything you would like or any more inquiry you have!
I will be so happy all time to help!
Also Please don't forget to rate ALL my helpful replies! and Mark it as a solutions! It will be so nice from you!

Sorry for the late response!
Regarding the ODF, it depends on the adapters that you will use, so if you use SC or LC, it will be the same housing, the only difference is that the SC is a simplex so you will need 2 for each duplex cord, which means that if you use a fiber optic with 4 cores, so your ODF will be 4 ports and all of them will be used! while the LC is a duplix which means that 1 only port is used for 1 duplex cord, so if you have a fiber optic with 4 cores, so your ODF will be 4 ports while only 2 ports are used and the others are free!
I have created for you these photos so that you can understand!
I hope now it's clear enough!
Also, if you are interested to get a call support please send me your IMO or Viber or even Skype account so that we can reach each other easily!
It's a pleasure to support!
Please, don't forget to RATE any helpful reply and to MARK solutions!!
