Lol i love how out of breath you were after getting rid of the spider, visions of battling large spider whilst armed with a rod length. Good video thanks

[denanelson]

Very helpful, I'm drilling by myself so, you processing alone let's me know what I really need to focus on to cut down on the work, thank you!

[adamsmith]

Please keep making these videos, a great help !

Keep in mind that most cameras do not have enough space in them to house the cable and weather proof connector. Most will need a mounting box to store the extra bit of cable. A mounting box also allows you to quickly change out the camera without needing to drill new holes. Unless you drill a massive 1 inch hole all the way through the exterior wall to shove the cabling and connector into the wall cavity.

Excellent video mate, keep them coming

Nice video mate. Always been hesitant to run cables in cavity walls as some will say do, and some say don't?

There were no obstructions behind the brick wall, that you can extend the cables straight to the attic? What is holding the wall to the building?

Have you fished a cable from ground floor story all the way up to loft before?

[billcarson]

A final question for you, i am looking to purchase a POE switch, which i will use to power my cameras, can i simply attached a cable from that switch to my network router and also connect the NVR to the router and find the cameras that way? or do the cameras need to be plugged into the NVR?

Hi - great video. Lots of people elsewhere talk a lot about how difficult it is to drill horizontally into the cavity and then feed cable vertically. Your method of angling the drill up solves that. Well done. Quick question: I’m in a new build and it’s packed with insulation. I’ve bought rods - will I just need to force them up? Also, worth adding silicone to cover the hole to stop moisture getting in? Thanks so much!

What about the power to the camera? Is that coming through your Ethernet cable?

[erictapia]

Great video mate ! What kind of drill did you use to drill through cavity and what size bit

[totaltrials]

Great video, thanks for making it. It made me give it a go myself, but struggled a bit. I push the rods through but they're just not coming out the cavity in the loft. I think the rods might just be bending half way up the wall and flexing horizontally. Do you guys ever get problem or do you have specifically stiff rods to avoid that?

Dear Hikguru,
I am going to drill at an angle and feed cables through to the loft for CCTV as shown in your utube video.
My cavity has insulation and I am sure there will be morter snots on the brick and block work.
Please could you inform me if these will cause me any issues and any tips to help me achieve my goal.
I really enjoyed your videos and found them very informative.

Kind Regards

You drilled that hole halfway up the house. How did the rods appear inside the loft space.

[jamiekenleyuk]

Just a question but as an estimate how many % of this type of cable fishing works?

[bahamastech]

No Cavity space in the walls here, solid concrete or blocks with cement and rebar.

[scottdickenson]

Hi great video. Will this method work on most houses of feeding the cable into the loft? Thankyou.

[JJ-lfer]

Hi. Great video. What grade cable should I use to put inside the cavity? Indoor, outdoor, shielded?

Also, most of the time do you always end up in the loft? Is there nothing blocking access through the cavity into the loft space at the top?
