You realize that I owned a company that pulled copper and fiber for 23 years right? I've pulled cable in places you couldn't imagine pulling cable.
So why does it bother you I used the thick Ethernet cables provided by reolink under the house and through walls and outside? Seems like they're pretty sturdy and less prone to interference. What should I have used?

That whole interference thing could be a bigger problem with shielded cable. if you are floating the shield, it becomes an antenna and can create noise/signal issues on its own. It can also become a shocking hazard because it will have capacitance and store an electrical charge.
If you want to read up more on the subject, search up "floating shield." And the fix isn't just a simple bond both ends. If you bond both ends to a ground source, you can end up getting loops that will also create issues with your signals.
