Do you have a specific model J box you use that you can post or PM me? Any pics of your work? I'm very curious because I also fear the Rotozip!! :) :)

My technique was, when prewiring LV for security (or whatever), mount a standard DEEP J box, coil wire inside. TIP - cut some foam or cardboard to fit snug inside the box to protect the cable while house being finished. Else your cable ends up being covered in paint, drywall mud, stucco, or who...

Welcome @leggomy More important is the cabling to the appropriate locations, and running extra cables during the build out. With well done runs to good positions you have more options available. Have you marked positions for consideration ?

...house not shown, but not 100% sure what cameras I should get and where to place. This is a render as house is being built but I will be prewiring for cams in a couple weeks so finalizing. I planned on going with a bunch of 5442s but I kind of want to add a PZT like the SD4A425DB-HNY. Any...

...is eight cameras but finances say for whatever legitimate reasons only four can be done now. Nothing stopping you from running all the prewiring for all eight and purchase the cameras at a later time. The hard part is done and you simply need to install the same when ready. Now, that part...

Hi @ah6tyfour What stage of the construction are you in right now? Is the framing up? Only drawings? Is there a model house you can test with? Remember, even when we think the positions look good, we may need to move the camera(s) over a little due to lights / IR reflections / issues with...

...out whether the mount of a turret camera gives enough range of motion to essentially turn it 90 degrees or even a bit more than that. I'm prewiring a house and the front has the paved approach to the front door. Let's say walking up and facing the door is North. To the east is a column...

Hi @ah6tyfour ".. the structured wiring guy .. They also place camera points at a standard 10-12 feet .." It is clear they do not really know this area. Over cable, look at the wiki notes, look at the numerous recommendations. Cable N+1+ per location ... Is the framing up? or just drawing...

...ago when I was planning wiring an older home that never worked out. Now, instead, I'm purchasing new construction and am putting in camera prewiring before the walls go up. I was talking to the structured wiring guy today and he gave some ideas, but mostly he was just agreeing with me since...

Welcome @Paperboy75 As there are various ways to build a house, there are various options with regards to bringing cables to the appropriate location. For a new build with a brick face, iirc the new way is to install brick with an air space between the brick and wall of house wrap / OSB /...

...I’ve found plenty of good info on where to place cameras, types of cameras, sensor sizes, etc. Have also found a lot of advice on doing prewiring (especially found the tips on running twice as much cable to each location to be helpful). What I haven’t been able to find is what to use to house...

there's no secret formula. just planning ahead that's all, along with your budget. prewiring is cheap in the long run, along with a solid structure and energy efficiency (uv and r values) oh, and knowing your surrounding geographical/terrain/elevation. speaking of that - knowing what's under...

I have a 2 car garage and have multiple camera's covering multiple angles (far left, far right, doorbell boobie camera, 2nd floor overwatch of driveway). If you are prewiring, consider left and right side camera installation.

...setup. Since we have little ones, our free time is limited so anything as simple as possible is preferred! To take advantage of our house prewiring, it seems like we would need 1 data recorder and 2 decent cameras that can show license plates clearly. We also are in the market for a motion...

Welcome @rajsv "I need to confirm the builder tomorrow. Appreciate your inputs to pick the best option." Can you get more time to decide??? imho .. really you need to take the weekend to go through this site and the notes. $350 per location includes all the cables listed ( CAT5, RG6, 20-2, 1...

Hi All - I am new to this forum (like 5 mins).... I am building a new home and need suggestions if i need to go for prewiring for security camera? The builder option includes CAT5, RG6, 20-2, 1 Plug and charges $350 for prewiring two cameras. Is this worth it? I understand I cant use these...

I'll be prewiring here in the next couple weeks. I've done some research a couple months back. spoke to looney (who was tons of help) but i'm just checking back to make sure nothing new has come out and that the cameras i've decided on are still the recommended cameras. Indoor cameras...

Hey guys, I'm prewiring my house now and have planned where i want my cat6 to go for some ipcam's and for anything future. let me know what you think or what you'd do differently. Thank you.

You have to consider what benefits the iq is going to provide. It does have a slick touch screen interface, but at 40 bux a month monitoring that's 380 more than the ring per year in perpetuity. Ask yourself if you are really going to control your automation via that panel and if its worth the...

...forum for Surveillance and Alarm systems. I have a new built home which I had prewired for cameras, audio and video. I forgot about alarm prewiring [emoji3525] I read fenderman post about the Ring alarm system and look interesting due to price and since a already have some zwave plus...

...isn't strictly cctv stuff. If that's ANY issue let me know, we did 7 ip cams in this post. Hey guys, this is a nicer house we've been prewiring and thought you guys might get a kick out of some of the IP related stuff and work during construction. We did all the low voltage in the house...

...Recently seen some great reviews on sound proofing and termite / roach prevention ideas on youtube. This channel has been a fun to watch one: Matt Risinger ( look for his prep work ) Prewiring Some interesting radiant barrier stuff on there also.. radiant barrier attic insulation - YouTube

Welcome Quang, We have a few threads discussing that kit, here is the main thread FYI - Some local Costco B&M have a Lorex / Dahua OEM 4K 6x camera kit and 8 port NVR for $800 You will have to customize a plate to hold the cameras onto the 1-gang box. If you want, you could also put a Dahua...

...from Costco as it was within my budget and I believe to be a good starter pack for IP cameras Costco Wholesale My question is that the prewiring of my cameras outside my house are on brick and located underneath 1-gang wall plate, how would I be able to mount these cameras on top of these...

...shouldn't be much of a cost difference between running 2 wires and running more. If your builder wants to charge an arm and a leg for prewiring, either find a local installer that will do it reasonably for you, or order yourself some boxes of cable and put it in yourself. When you are...

...infrastructure will be adequate, though you may want to prewire for some wall controls with cat-6. On the security front I recommend prewiring for some outdoor sensors. On glass breaks I was referring to indoor acoustic sensors. Door control is plenty mature in the commercial space and...

...also been researching the current line of electronic door locks that can be remotely closed and monitored. Not too sure that market is mature enough yet. I have been trying to figure out if prewiring for microphones for a future whole-house voice control system is prudent or just creepy. :wow:

Ok, mebbe a dumb questions but here goes. Once we finally start to build our forever house later this year, we are going to prewire of all of our cameras. I have a really good "general" idea on where they'll be placed and we will run Cat6 to every location. However, until we are actually moved...

...and property is waterfront. We have the usual daily summer thunderstorms here and some are very strong. What precautions should I take when prewiring with the storms in mind? Also, all copper cables correct? I'm a big believer in do it right, do it once and be done with it. All wire runs...
