We bought an hikvision 8 channel NVR and 8 ColurVu cameras and two 1000 feet coils of wire and had a handyman come out and run the wires through the attic. Cost us $500 for a less than 3 hours work. He did not touch the cameras or NVR, just ran the wires and left them hanging on both ends. I put the plastic pieces on the ends myself after watching a YouTube video. Our farm helper put up the cameras at the locations we wanted them once the wires were run. $500 seemed kinda expensive but no one else even called up back so...
Anyway, for some reason he only ran 6 wires. I wasn't home and my husband was busy working and didn't notice.
He wants $300 to come back and run the other 2. I refuse to pay that much when it's his own fault. I am so mad I told my husband I'll run the wires across the living room floor and out the window first. We are senior citizens and can't climb through the hole in the ceiling to get into the attic and run them ourselves and our farm helper is too fat to fit through the little hole.
The cameras are just plug into the back of the NVR and there's the picture! Easy Peasy.. but beyond that I know nothing about this stuff. I've heard of a splitter will that help us? Or should I just run the wires out the window, LOL
thank you for your advice
