Few tips/other option:

1. If you have power in the loft or can get power installed there you can avoid having to run the cables from the loft. You can locate the NVR in the loft, plug all the cameras into it there and use a powerline plug to get internet into the loft without running any cables. You can then view the cameras on the computer and/or mobile via the computer software or mobile app. This makes installation so much easier. Also the NVR is more secure as it is "hidden" in the loft so less likely to be taken in the event of a break in.

2. Use SD cards in the cameras so the most recent footage is stored on the cameras as well as the NVR. Then if the NVR is stolen you still have the footage.

3. Have a mixture of camera heights. The high ones are good for an overview but they aren't much use to see details as they are looking down on top of people. You want some lower ones to give you good images of faces/cars etc

4. Cobwebs are a real pain with IR at night, consider using security lights to turn night into day, separate IR lights so you can turn off the camera's IR, use anti spider spray. Cleaning the high up cameras of cobwebs can be a real pain. Check the night footage regularly as if you have cobwebs over the cameras the image is likely to be no use.

5. Use some electrical tape if you don't have a label machine to label the cables so you know which cable is which camera in the future.

6. Consider getting a set of Ethernet crimpers so you can cut the cables to length then put knew ends on the ethernet cables, doesn't cost much, it is easy to do, just watch YouTube and also lets you make custom cable lengths for any other times you need them rather than having coils of excess cable - it also makes pulling the cables through much easier as there is nothing to get caught up.

Hope some of that is useful to people.

I installed these last year in my house. Very impressive cameras and system. Worked flawlessly from day one. I live in a bungalow, definitely helps with cable runs. I also have a few Wi-Fi cameras added on for remote areas. They integrate with the system brilliantly. Highly recommended.

Yes you made it very easy to understand. Thank you. And yes I’m one of those enjoying your Ethernet & Router pronunciations. I’m nearly drunk, have to watch it again. Hope you’re a good sport. Thanks again.

Great video, great description and explanation and just about the right time as I have been deliberating for too long over fitting CCTV at home, cheers, good luck.

Thanks for this. I’m quite up on fitting cctv wiring and networking internally but haven’t quite made that brave step to go outside and drill holes in someone else’s property. This will help.

Another great video, you make it look so easy, you know so much about the trades for a young man 👍

[stendecstretcher]

Great informative video thanks to you I have installed mine with no issues. 😊

[kalalston]

Good video, I’ve used Reolink for years. They’re amazing.

[AndrewChun]

Thanks for sharing Cody! We sure do appreciate the easy to follow tutorial 👍

Amazing video just what I needed. I was wondering how to best get the cables to the NVR but coincidently your office window is situated exactly like mine above the garden doors, so this was a nice bonus for me to visualise and understand

Great vid mate. As others have said you’re putting out great content and good to see the channel grow. Intrigued about your upcoming project. Am I close in thinking an extension of some description on the right side of the house, when facing the rear elevation (pure speculation on my part based on your comment about the down pipe not being an option!)

[albertwashingtonjr]

Thanks mate. Great vid and well explained. it is as I suspected so thanks for the confirmation.

I worked at a low voltage company and we would install large amounts of CCTV cameras in sets of model homes. We would link the CCTV cameras in each model home together using a combination of network switches and network cables. in each model home, all the cameras would get plugged into on network switch and then in the office where the NVR was, there would be a single network cable that would get plugged into the back of the NVR for all the CCTV cameras.

Another excellent video, I have a Swann system and fitted it the same way as you.These systems are not expensive and every house should have one fitted!
Already had a neighbor wanting footage to show culprit in damaging car to insurance company and these cameras cover a wide area, so you don't miss anything .
Don't pay ridiculous money to have one fitted and the quicker you do it, the safer you (and others)can benefit from CCTV protection.

A lot of people have cctv nowadays the idea is to stay a few steps ahead like concealing them or some of them, having more than one system and WiFi one system via the neighbours router with their permission of course so it still works if your phone line or cable is cut, a back up battery is another good idea or isolated wildlife camera or two independent of a cctv system.
