Here are some tips for running CCTV cables in an attic:
Plan: Carefully plan the route for the wiring.
Prepare: Gather the necessary tools and devices. Some useful tools include fish tape, cable rods, and cable clips.
Drill: Drill a hole in the soffit or wall that's large enough to fit the cable.
Run: Run the cable to the camera's location. You can use existing conduit or create new pathways to guide the wires. Some recommend passing the cable over insulation instead of under it.
Connect: Connect the cable to the camera's pigtail.
Push: Push the cable back into the hole and mount the camera over it.
Here are some additional tips:
Wear protective gear, such as gloves, a face mask, and a body suit.
When going into lofts, be careful where you walk and use loft boards.
Run RG59 siamese cable at least 6 inches away from electrical wiring to prevent signal interference.
