Exterior conduit for CAT5
Discussion
Hi.
I am currently installing a CCTV system on our house. I need to drop 2 cables from the loft/soffits down to front and rear walls.
The camera brackets accept a cable from below as shown in the pic.
Is it best just to run the conduit along side the camera mount and just loop the cable back up into the box? Or is there a "proper" way of doing such a thing?
Thanks

I agree with chasingracecar.
Use external grade cat5e or cat6 but I would try to hide it. Putting it into conduit just advertise it is there even more.
We tend to run the cable down the back of gutting down pipes and have the camera at the corners of the house.
Does that make sense?
Yes is does and thats not a bad idea actually. And would probably mean a better angle/view if its to one side of our front wall as opposed to the middle as I was planning. Any ideas where I could get some external grade stuff tomorrow?Use external grade cat5e or cat6 but I would try to hide it. Putting it into conduit just advertise it is there even more.

Probably cheaper but you would have to wait until Tuesday as they don’t ship weekends...
