Any 'Sparks' out there - advice please

I need advice of any electrical/security experienced members. It's not exactly a 4X4 specific issue but loosely related. I want to improve the security of a parking spot on my patch of land but unfortunately it's over 200 meters from any power supply. I'd like to have CCTV, visual/audio comms,(for friendly visitors) auto-sensor lighting and remote control of gates. My first question is what core size of cable will I need to ensure sufficient voltage over that distance to operate the gates? Secondly what type/make of products, individual or packages are there to make up such a system and at what rough costs. Any advice of specialists in the field or anyone who has installed such a system, will be much appreciated.
