I feel I'm very mechanically inclined, capable and dying to venture into an 8 camera system of my own but have some concerns, mostly with regards to getting cables to and from cameras & the equipment and terminating the CAT 6.
With the CAT 6 to the cameras - I believe most installers they I received estimates from will run the cable behind the vinyl siding (mostly in corners) down to the basement ceiling level of the foundation walls and pop thru to the basement that way. Is this most common?
I would prefer not to have any cable behind the siding - I see this as "happy homeowner " type of install rather than professional grade. Am I wrong?
