Cameron's getting a new gaff. No wall is safe!
Congratulations Cameron. I'm looking forward to many many hour long videos of you installing everything.
New projects a-hoy!!
Congrats on the new home Cameron! 🎉… took me a minute to match the voice I’m used to listening to, to a person I can see 😅 but cool to see you on camera.
I can't wait for all of the amazing new content! This is going to be incredible, there is not a boring video on your channel! :D
Nice one Cameron, looking forward to your new content in the new gaff. Good luck and all that!
Congratulations! Good luck and can't wait for the new content!
Congrats Cameron - big move ! Looking forward to the new content. I'd be especially interested in the chasing the walls part and where you locate things, what cabinets you choose.
All the best from Ireland!
All the best with the move. Looking forward to all the new projects!
Congratulations!
Love this, I’m moving in next 6 months too and will be doing my own cabling this time!
Nice one Cameron, can't wait to see all the new content. Congrats! :)
Extremely exciting! I moved into a “new build” (it was 6 years old) last September and the first thing I did was cut holes in ceilings to run oodles of cat6. In fact, it was the exact ones you’ve bought!
Fingers crossed you also have eco joists/posi joists/webbed joists like I had. It makes retrofitting tech a BREEZE in comparison! No needing to think about which way the joists run, as there’s access through in all directions.
Unfortunately I think it's i-joists that all run in the worst possible directions... Hoping I can get through them with some strategically placed down lights and a flexible drill bit and maybe a few access holes in the upstairs floor. Don't have any flooring down yet so at least I don't have that to deal with.
Congratulations and nice to see you in front of the camera for a little bit at least!
I'm currently building my house and a lot of the tech you use is in line with what I want to do, can't wait to follow along
Congratulations Cameron, best of luck with the new house 🏡
I'm moving into a new house in about a month and am already itching to plan out the network cabling and home automation, really looking forward to your upcoming videos.
Congratulations, looking forward to all the future content from you.
Congrats! Looking forward to the videos of the network install in your new place 🎉
Congratulations! Wishing you the best in the new house!
Congrats Cameron! Look forward to seeing the content and if you need any sparkie advice, or even some help shout up! I love a good geek install! 😅
Congrats on the new place. I can tell how excited you are about running new cabling! I would be too.
Congrats. Look forward to the new projects.
Congratulations on the new house hope you settle in nice a quick and I look forward to the new series.
Congratulations! looking forward to the content.
Congratulations on your new home. Definitely looking forward to nerding out on the new raft of project videos
RUclips lurker usually but buzzing for your move. From a quiet big fan, good luck!
Congratulations on the new house! Very much looking forward to all the content.
Congratulations! that's a good news! Hope to see some Poe security camera comparison video :)
Buying a house soon myself and have similar plans. Can't wait to see your new videos!
Speaking to camera! So not just a disembodied voice then! 🤣 Congratulations on the new place.
Congrats, can’t wait for the networking videos.
Congrats! Looking forward to the videos!
Good luck in your new home!
Congrats on the new house. Random to see the old place. I used to live in a flat in 17.
Haha wow, small world! Absolutely loved living there but just needed more space!
I didn't realise the voice also had a body 😂
I'm very happy for you! I would love to see a video with your partner to see how they feel about being surrounded by tech. I know my partner shall I say puts up with my tech habits.
OMG!!!! Fully agile! Long cats! 🎉
Congratulations on the big move!! So chuffed for you and extremely excited for the content!!
Time to write a manual for the new owner 😁
Congratulations on the new house!
I did a full Cat6A house set up based heavily on knowledge from your flat networking videos. Kinda wish I'd recorded it, but that would have made it take even longer. As it was it took two whole days for me and my brother (an electrician) just to put the cables in the walls. We did manage to do it without running cables through ceilings at all, though. All walls were dot and dab, which meant no full length chasing required, but we did have to knock out some of the blocks to make room for the deeper boxes (my keystones wouldn't fit in shallow light switch boxes, not sure if any do).
All the best for the new Gaff!
Awesome, congratulations 🎉
I'm very much looking forward to your future videos Cameron, exciting stuff.
Awesome. Wish I had the bravery and skills to network my house.
Gonna be great seeing you do it all from scratch with everything you learned from doing the flat
Congrats on the new place!
Can't wait Cameron. Love your videos!
Congratulations
Congratulations! The 6 years have flown by. Looking forward to the future videos, once you’ve settled in!
Excited for you and us... Hope to learn a lot about all of this... Not just saying it but learning to be able to do it also
Haha 😂 4 boxes of cat 6 great... thanks for the content 👍🏻
Great news, Cameron - congratulations! 🎉
Just a heads up, it’s pretty easy (for me at least) to mistake the red at the bottom of the thumbnail as the progress bar. There have been a few times I have not clicked on your videos when they appear because I assume it’s a video I’ve watched a small amount of and decided wasn’t worth continuing. Not really an issue on videos uploaded recently, but especially when your back catalogue pops up, I feel like you’re missing out on some clicks from me!
Very good point, I can definitely see it now that I think about it! I'll try and remember to bear it in mind when aligning that corner piece when creating future thumbnails!
Can't wait for the new videos!
Were moving literally right now too
Just finished installing networking in my house based on your works so interested to see how you do it
congrats man :)
bro just kidnapped us to an undisclosed location. love it.
Can't wait to see all 500 holes in your new house.
man, i remember the videos you made for writing that place. man it felt like that was only a year ago. lol
looking forward to the content mate
new owner will hopefully embrace all that was done in the flat.... tech persons dream
Looking forward to your videos!! Please keep us noobs in mind when you make your new video lol!
Hoping to be able to make the videos relatively beginner friendly - with it being my own house and not a friend's as I've done in other videos, I'll have a lot more time to work on the videos. I plan on splitting at least the network cabling side of things out into several different videos to go through it all in full detail. I also hope to try and work on a series of "basics" videos where I explain various concepts of network cabling outside of actually installing them as part of a project.

Nice, looking forward to the new content! Will you be using a UniFi set up in the new home?
I'll initially be sticking with my existing Cisco CBS switches and OPNSense firewall. I may look at other options for APs instead of my existing Ruckus R650, but will possibly be looking at trying out Grandstream APs. I love UniFi and will continue to cover their products and recommend them to people, but for my home setup it's nice to have the flexibility to try different products rather than be tied into an ecosystem. Although never say never...
You're getting old man! Best of luck in the new place... interested to see what you'll do for audio distribution. I went for an unconventional solution with 2 coax cables everywhere and keystone RCA to F-type on the walls. Hope I don't regret it. I tested it with a 50m run and it worked fine...
Are you going to be re installing the Texecom in your new place? congratulations on your new home!
I left the alarm in the old place but will be installing a new wired Texecom system and using it extensively as part of my home automation setup.
Honest question would you consider running fibre though your house? Congrats on the new digs!
Thanks! No immediate plans to run fibre, maybe at some point in the future since field termination fibre kits are becoming more affordable and I'd like to try them out but only really if it was required for a specific run, there's no point really installing fibre throughout a property in the same way that you'd do with CAT6. The CAT6A cable I'll be running can easily handle 10GbE which means I won't need fibre for that and the vast majority of devices I'll be connecting will be TVs, set top boxes, IoT devices, laptop docking stations and HDBaseT receivers which will always be copper devices. I barely have any devices I even could use fibre with, let alone ones that would actually benefit from it since all servers will be being installed in a central rack.
cameron you should be using prysmian cable!
Prysmian make great cable but there are also plenty of other good brands, Excel are a very high end brand of data cable. My original plan was to use Draka UC500 cable which is a Prysmian brand but I got a great deal on the Excel cable I showed here that made it a much better option.
@@camerongray1515cat6 is cat6 I suppose good luck with the new place can’t wait for all the content
Stand still
I presume you will be getting a new alarm system (which i guess will be a fully hardwired system)
If it's a new build, curious to hear if they offered to network it for you and whether it was cost or just a healthy distrust of the level of workmanship that put you off...
It was a new build but at the time we bought it it was already mostly complete so didn't have the chance to pick any options (although on the plus side they included a few decent upgrades but not any networking bar a single phone extension to the living room...). Even if I had had the option I'd still be doing it myself - the number of runs I need would become extortionate at the amounts they'd charge and I'd be needing some things I suspect they might not be willing to do - all runs running into the garage, runs coming out of ceilings for APs and out of external walls for cameras.
If you were speccing out a new build and wanted to make networking easier - one option you could do is get the builder to at least run at least one cable to upstairs, you can then easily add in additional runs through the attic with minimal decorative damage. Downstairs runs will always be harder to do so maybe worth getting the builder to add those in too.
Nice. Have you decided where node-zero is going to be yet? 🤓
Plan is to install a full height rack in the integrated garage, very helpfully there's a cupboard directly above it which will be ideal for running cables up into the attic.
@@camerongray1515 sounds great 👍
Is this the first time we are seeing your face?? Congratulations!!!
No. And his face is also in the profile pic.
I've done a few pieces in front of the camera but not for a long time. I *might* end up doing more once I have my studio setup since I'd actually have the physical space to do it.
GoFundMe or kickstarter to hire a filmer and editor?
Didn't you run an ISP at your apartment? What is the status of that?
I had a lot of networking equipment and some servers which ran the home automation which will all be installed in the new place in due course, but never ran any sort of production ISP services, I'd never run production services out of my home setup. You may be confusing me with MarzBar on RUclips?
@@camerongray1515my mistake. Now I will have to dig around to see who made that video. My apologies. The channel you mentioned I have never heard of.
Can I ask Cameron about your experience with getting a mortgage as a young single guy, as I'm looking to buy myself soon
I bought this house with my partner but I bought my flat by myself - best thing to do would be to speak to a mortgage broker, bunch of fee-free ones out there which are fine (they work on commission from the products they recommend but in my experience have been completely fair and the rates from them have still been the same/better than I've found myself online). They'd be able to take a look at your circumstances and recommend specific products rather than needing to search around yourself. They also manage the application process which saves a tonne of stress.
Did you just moved to buy new stuff/tech gadgets 😂, congratulations
Congratulations
