Looks perfectly reasonable to me, the pig tail thing on its own must be the WiFi aerial and you don’t want to hide or box that away.

The guy who is going to rob the place probably offered to set them up for a couple of Budweisers. Probably driving something like a 1992 Dodge Caravan with a ladder tied to the roof and the black ski mask on the passenger seat accompanied by 4 sets of license Plates.

Sorry not sure if you were being sarcastic, but that tail is the optional power injector to use when the switch isn't PoE.
Those SWANNcams also have weather covers for the RJ45 that they didn't use.

no, that installation technique is called “the quick exchange” method. The club owner use that same cameras at home during daytime.

I can just hear it now...."Aw, it's just temporary until my guy does it up right this coming weekend....or so he said....2 years ago..."

yeah, we might consider giving him the benefit of the doubt....maybe he was there strictly as a bar patron, had a pitcher of beer or 2 and the owner talked him into it...even let him stand on his shoulders while he hung 'em.

could also be the owner saying "i don't have money for all that conduit and junction boxes, just slap it on the side!

The only thing missing from that pig tail is the pig that wired it.

Apart from the junction box issue and the protective trunking for the cabling, for the love of god, hasn't this guy ever heard of cable clips?

I take it you weren't tempted to unplug the cameras then?

 

[VorlonFrog]

I feel so much better about my installs, now.

 

[looney2ns]

But the cables are arranged in a manner that will drain the water down, and not back into the building. So what if the water gets into the RJ45, small price to keep the water out of the building.

And the cameras didn't get mounted too high.

Wait until you see the kitchen.

I'll bet the NVR is sitting on a shelf right above the fryers

Maybe it's in the fryers, after all the oil will stop it from rusting.
