Hi all,
I'm looking to install three IP cameras around my house and I already have CAT6 cable run from inside the house to three points on the outside of the house near where I plan to put the cameras. I only need to run the CAT6 cable to the camera locations as it will be used for data and power.
Can I please get some advice from experts here about the following two things:
1. What is the right type of conduit or trunking to use when travelling cable along walls on the outside of the house? Obviously the priority is something which best protects the cable from both weather and malicious damage. But something which is not going to stick out like a sore thumb and is even paintable would also be good.
2. I'll have extra CAT6 cable left once I've run it to the location each camera will go and I don't want to cut it so I believe I can get a weatherproof box which the conduit/trunking can run into and which can also hold all the extra cable inside. I would mount the camera onto this box. What is this type of box called?
Thank you in advance for your help!
