Hello,
I've lurked this forum for quite a while and finally purchased a surveillance system (PoE).
My problem now though, is that I don't really know how I'm going to install the cameras.
We own a manufactured home with a full basement. I would like to run the ethernet through the soffit, down and inside the exterior wall, ending up in the basement.
Has anyone made a run like this before that can give me tips? Is it even possible without a ton of work?
I've attached a photo for reference. I cannot run into attic (there is nothing that would be accessible). I could run it through the foundation (cinder block) i guess, but then the wire would be visible even if I tucked it behind siding for most of the run until it were to go through the foundation.
Also, if I were to hire out, who is best for this task, an electrician, handyman, homebuilder?
Thanks for any guidance.
