PHAND 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Hi there; I'm a low-voltage contractor specializing in new homes in the Greater Toronto Area. While I mainly concentrate on residential construction for home theatre/automation, I've been finding myself adding more and more cameras to custom homes these days. I went to college originally for video production, so that education has helped out tremendously when it comes to the technical aspects of video technology and how to apply/troubleshoot it.

PHAND 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Must be a pain roughing in a house in Canada with the cold temps!! Only because the cable gets cold and is tougher to pull out of the box.. But it still gets done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted March 22, 2008 Do you carry a portable hand held "blow torch" (more kin to an oversized cigarette lighter) to loosen the cables up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHAND 0 Posted March 24, 2008 Do you carry a portable hand held "blow torch" (more kin to an oversized cigarette lighter) to loosen the cables up? If there is a heater on site, I pile boxes around it to warm them up. Usually they have been sitting in the van over night. I usually refuse to do anything if it's less than -10C on site. cat5 sheath just breaks when pulling it out of the box. It's warmer now, just unfortunately no pre-wire jobs for the next while.
