skywalkerdigital 0 Posted February 20, 2015 Hi I am wanting to install 4 cameras up on the exterior of my house, Starting with the front. The problem is I was planning on installing the cameras on my soffit so that I can put the cable straight through into my loft. But when I got up the ladder I realised my soffits are asbestos!! I don't know any other way into my loft ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE!!? thanks I am very new to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skywalkerdigital 0 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Do you think I should Drill the RG59 through the asbestos? I know nothing about asbestos H&S? If I drill though the asbestos soffit and cable through -- would that be safe with it being bang outside my baby's bedroom window..? I mean won't the particles from the hole go through window if open?? any advise? HOW DO PROFESSIONALS DO THIS? WOULD THE JUST RUN A CABLE AROUND THE HOUSE AND GO IN THROUGH THE GABLE END ??

I know nothing about asbestos H&S If I do this the hole I make to put the cable through -- would that be safe with it being bang outside my baby's bedroom window , I mean won't the particles from the hole go through window if open? If you are running new cable, do yourself a favor and use cat5/6 not rg59...get an ip system...if you insist on analog, use cat5/6 with baluns so you can easily upgrade later..

skywalkerdigital 0 Posted February 21, 2015 I have 4 triax TDV796W/G cameras and a 8 DVR already .. is it better to use cat 6? I am just trying to find out what to do in my circumstances in regards to the soffit being asbestos ..?? Should I put connectors in a dome extension ring or a waterproof junction box and run cable round the house and in through the gable end to avoid drilling asbestos?? can anyone help???

Do you think I should scrap the RG59 for this install then? do most installers now use cat 5 or 6 with baluns for everything? not just ip I am trying to get as much helpful knowledge as possible so I can install cctv for others when confident Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you want to if this is a new install...its much easier to fish a single ethernet cable than Siamese coax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
