Great video. I like the way you work. Looks neat, good job. The Black PVC is nice too, never seen that will have to look for it here. I like those saddles and the box too, will also look into those. We are generally limited to what we can get here though. We cant run wire in cement walls here as they are filled or solid concrete. So running it through the attic then coming down indoors is the usual way. But we also do this conduit method on single story homes if going out to a post in the yard. Always good to see other ways to do things and how things are in other countries. Thanks for the video.
Hi Jenno, this is a basic setup, we try to accommodate our videos for everyone. Cavity install isn’t always possible. We have got a cavity installation video aswell. Hope this helps.

Hi Hik-Guru. Where did you get the cable rods from? I had one with a hook but I think it’s been misplaced or taken by a CCTV Installer. Thanks for the uploads 👍🏽
The soffit in this video was 15mm wood, in some houses it can be just 5mm of pvc. What ptz are you thinking of mounting? What is your soffit soffit in question made of?
@@HikVisionGuru it’s wood I can tap it from the window. When I tap, sound differs slightly in different sections of the soffit , Indicating something behind/under those sections, could be the roof plank ? (Excuse my lack of technical terms). I bought a reo link trackmix Poe camera. It’s 1.2kg.
@tmanoharanify as long as it’s pretty solid wool, ie, it doesn’t flex when you push it and isn’t flimsy, then I’d go right ahead and screw that camera to it no issue, it’s only lightweight. If you hear different sounds you’re likely tapping where the roof rafters are coming down (rafter tails).
@@HikVisionGuru thank you. It does look a little flimsy to me. Maybe I can mount it in the section where the rafters are ? So it will be mounted onto the rafters via the soffit?

@@xxgamers5711 I’d have a look at screwfix online, where we buy most of ours. Type in sds 10mm drill piece or whatever diameter you want, then different lengths will show.

Cat5e is plenty good enough for all poe cameras, but cat6 is future proofing long into the future. I’d potentially give customers the option and cost it extra for future proofed wiring, especially when rewiring in future isn’t feasible
This is just 1 method of wiring a system, our other videos show alternative methods. Not everyone wants to run wiring on the inside of their property, not everyone wants to cavity feed. Some people want a quick easy solution 👍🏼
If the client requests it goes elsewhere for whatever reason whether it’s ease of access etc. If there’s no power in the loft and getting power up there isn’t feasible. If the loft isn’t accessible or is too small to enter. There’s many reasons, best NVR placement should be discussed with client on site survey with pros and cons
I normally put some silicone on the back of the 'termination box' before screwing it to the wall. Just helps that bit more with reducing moisture ingress. Great video otherwise.
@@jasotharanvivek3947 brilliant, depending on your firmware version the instruction may differ slightly. If you can right click using the mouse anywhere on the screen, then left click on menu, login if it asks you, then click on configuration, then network, then on that screen you should see primary and secondary DNS, towards the bottom. If “auto dns” is ticked untick it and then delete the existing dns fields and type in 8.8.4.4 for your primary and 8.8.8.8 for secondary, then hit save. If you’re on a newer firmware, again right click, menu, then press the settings/gear icon at the top menu, then network, then again go to dns settings like before. Always remember to click apply/save. Let me know how you get on

Shame you’ve got cement walls over there, we love running cables through wall cavities, makes such a neat tidy finish.
Is there a reason you are using pvc pipe instead of going through cavity ? GREAT VIDEO

Cavity is the way to go , why would you have exposed wiring/pvc pipe , lazy way
Can’t wait for the next video! You made to try diy on CCTV installation! Thanks HIK Guru
Very useful hints on fitting, thanks👍
Great vids ! I am also in the same field of work and it is great to see people sharing.
How would you fit a camera at the bottom of your garden.... could you do a video on what to do and the options available 🤔
Hi George, do you mean a camera not affixed to the house, so how to run a cable from the NVR to the camera that’s across the garden?
@@HikVisionGuru yes exactly like that. There will be power soon but unfortunately no power just now
@@staceyismine do you want some send me some pictures or a video would be better of your specific situation via email @ HikGuru,yt@gmail.com and I’ll send a personalised video back?

Hi Ravi, you can get them from Amazon or screwfix; the link is in the bio!
Appreciate the kind words
Love the video
Very well explained video! What’s under the soffit? Is it just a thin piece of wood? Is it okay to mount a ptz camera directly onto it ? Thanks

Where can I find both of the long drill bits ? , I’ve had a look and I can only find the small regular sized once.
Is your drill an sds or a normal hammer drill?
Normal hammer drill mate
I also need a set for my SDS as I use both

Hi what ladders are you using ? What open and closed height are they?
I shall get the tape measure on them in morning 👍
Why didn't you transfer from inside the building? In Iran, we never cabling from outside because it is subject to vandalism and erosion

That 'wood' sofit looks very 'asbestos containing cement boardy' 😲
In this case it was 100% wood. You do have to be careful on older build houses as you know, some boards do contain asbestos.

Appreciate the feedback Simon
nice
in my IOS Hik - connect app keep saying ''NETWORK IS UNSTABLE CONNECTION AGAIN''. what is the problem? how do i solve it?
Do you know what your primary and secondary DNS is set to on your NVR/DVR under the network settings?
@@HikVisionGuru I'm really sorry i don't anything about that. do u have any video explanation please?
@@jasotharanvivek3947 no worries, have you got a screen plugged into your dvr/nvr along with a mouse to control it?

You cavitied the rest of the cameras why not cavity all the way up from the tv? Makes the rest of it seem abit pointless

Be careful with spiders
Literally the worst way to wire a CCTV camera. The whole point is that you run the cable so no one can get to them to disable the camera.😂
