    What is option two? Lol First of all thank you for taking the time to draw that up. Very awesome of you and I appreciate it, Before you posted it, I was trying to figure out how it would go in my mind based on your other diagram. I wasn't getting it. I do have more questions though after trying...

    Just a little update 1. Pulled the cat6 single line that was buried. It was buried right on the 120v line which from what I have read isn't a smart idea. Now they are running the same cat6 unshielded waterproof cable I have in conduit away from the electrical line. Running 3 cat6 lines in the...

    Well I know they wanted to get the inside insulated and finished so I could get it heated and start using the space. They will do the siding last. So I figured I need the cameras ASAP to test the locations so the wire can be ran correctly. I figured that should be all done before they have to...

    Thanks for checking in with me again! lol. I am trying to tackle the running of the cat6. No experience but I ordered 1000', a klein crimper, tester and 100 pass through connectors. Again, this was all a last minute idea to do this. I will be able to talk to the contractor about it when he stops...

    Yes, this makes sense to test before mounting. That is one of the reasons I am searching for so much input. Not much planning before this so now I am scrambling. The electrician isn't handling anything to do with the cameras. He has to finish a few fixtures and outlets tomorrow and then his part...

    There is definitely some sort of gel in it. I tried to find exactly what cable it is to know for sure if it is fine without conduit. I guess if it is fine I will have to see if they will dig it back up and run a few more lines.

    I was told it would be direct burial. After your posts I tried to research to make sure things were good, but now I am not positive. You can see my post above and the photos and brochure of the Superior Essex cable. If they have to redo it and run conduit, how many lines should I get? A pull...

    Not taken as being a jerk. Totally understand it and you're right that it should have been decided before now. It was a last minute decision and didn't really consider the need until recently. It seems like the 7'-8' is the consensus. Before researching this I would have assumed it would be best...

    So the single line was trenched and the sod is all replaced. I know this could all be dug back up again to run more lines, but do you think that is necessary or worth it compared to the single line that is finished now? I see you said you also have a POE in your garage with only one run going to...

    Hey guys, First of all this seems to be a great place to get some good info and find out about great cameras. I have met Cliff and Wiki but I still have a lot more to read and learn. I currently don't have any cameras besides a new ring doorbell and I hate it. Not even reliable at catching...
