We are selling our home of 14 years. During that time, I've installed 30+ cameras - including one embedded in my mailbox post aimed back at the house. The realtor feels that I should remove all cameras (inside and out), and all the supporting hardware before listing.
My intent is to leave the cat5/6 cables and patch/paint all stucco and drywall. That way I can list it as "pre-wired for IP cameras" or something to that effect. However, I have about 15 holes of various sizes that I've cut into the aluminum vented soffit. Some are small (maybe 1/2") but others, where I had a hard time accessing the cable ends, are up to 1" in diameter.
I considered simply replacing that section of soffit, but the planets would have to align just right to find matching material and paint color. However, short of leaving holes at all those locations, I don't know what else to do.
Anyone faced this issue before? Do they make caps/plugs that I can push in after cleaning up the holes?
