sparky-matt 0 Posted February 16, 2017 Afternoon guys, just after a little advice if possible Im a spark by trade but to be honest, usually leave the CCTV to the people that know-how Now a family member has bought a CCTV kit, and asked if id install it as a favour Nothing fancy, just a cheap kit off ebay I think But I have a few questions, these cameras come pre-wired with 2 ends which are quite bulky for getting through walls etc.. without making big holes Is it possible to use cat 5e/6 instead ? Also the DVR will be going in the loft, would a WIFI bridge work ok to connect it upto their internet ? Thanks very much Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted February 16, 2017 Hi Matt Yes cat5 is good but you will have to use baluns at each end. As far as network from loft to router it is easier to use eithernet over power .
