You can also install cameras using metal/PVC conduit and their corresponding junction boxes. If you think that's the right solution for your project, I'd highly recommend just hiring an electrician to install the conduit for you, even if you still pull the cables yourself.

You could also use outdoor rated flex conduit. Excellent video.

@@edbouhl3100 I was going to suggest same non-metallic flex conduit would work great. Should never have cable exposed to easy to cut. Great Video keep up the great work.

This is just the perfect video! Al the info you need in 15 minuts! Tnx !

I was a contractor for Comcast. We used those bushings and they actually do work but you have to do them properly. First, they need to be sized correctly to the cable. We used them for RG6 cable only and it was actually a pretty snug fit. Second, as you mentioned, you need to use silicone with them. They primarily provide a neater and more professional look than just a hole drilled in your wall. Our standard though was to mount the premise box over the exterior penetration so it was well protected. That's why, at least in my area here in WA you will see the boxes mounted in sometimes strange places. Usually right above the foundation. Never had any issues with rain on any of my installs and we get a lot of rain here in WA.

I have gone through so many videos. All I get is how to install the programming and all the different features. Now, that is helpful, but never to the point. This is by far the best detailed video! Thankyou!

WOW! What an extremely helpful video. You laid all of the information out quickly, to the point and with experience. We really appreciate the presentation and tips!

Great video with very clear step-by-step options and specifics. Thanks for making this.

Brilliant. Clear. Simple. Excellent. Thank you!

Holy cow this was the best install video I have ever watched

Thanks for suggesting the junction box!! Saved me figuring out how to make such a huge hole through brick!

Very helpful and informative. Thanks for the video!

Awesome information - Thank you!

Clear video day and night!

Very helpful. Thank you.

Fantastic informative video for a novice like myself

Thanks for the info.

Thanks! Actually, the first video where I've seen that Reolink turret cameras can fully rotate - was looking for this for a month! (as deciding between turret and bullet cameras for outside walls)

Very informative video, thanks for sharing... What video and microphone system are you using, great quality?

Fantastic! Thanks for making this video. Couple of questions: @3:54 you showed a diagram of the drip loop, from the installation methods you discussed it wasn't completely clear to me where drip looping would be used (e.g., with a junction box? etc.), can you clarify? Also do you have any experience installing cameras into stucco? If so can you provide any guidance/tips? I'm a bit worried that installing the camera on stucco could effect it's integrity as it seems more brittle and subject to cracking/breaking, etc. Also you mentioned that your most common installation was the use of a junction box with cable entrance in a different location. Was curious why that is your most common installation method (i.e., what is it that drives this method)? Thanks.

Do you have any videos about installing security cameras under the Sophet?

Great video! Thanks. Would installing into stucco be similar to installing into concrete, with the hammer drill and the masonry bits?

Usually yes, just be gentle drilling. I'd suggest using a junction box to minimize issues mounting the camera to an uneven surface.

Can I use waterproof plumbers tape as an alternative to a junction box to waterproof an unused 12v connector? It seems a lot of extra expense and bulk to add a junction box for such a small connector.

Wow super pro tips only someone who knows this shit can give

My junction box didn't come with any NPT cable glands. Is there somewhere you'd recommend to buy these? I'm not familiar with sizing, I have about a 1" screw hole. Would that be a 1" NPT?

I can’t find a tapcon small enough to fit through the holes in the junction box made by Reolink…Any tips? I going into concrete 13:43

using waterproof boxes, you always need to terminate the cable (rj45 plug) after passing it to the holes to the box right? I still haven't find a way to use already terminated cables.

ex. if I am using POE injectors; it is big and the cable is already terminated...I have no idea how to put it in the waterproof box.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful info. Question maybe you can help with: I'm buying a new construction home with brick exterior. The pre-wire company terminated the ethernet into a 1-gang electrical box. Then the brick guys installed the brick around the box. Finally, the pre-wire guys installed a plastic blank plate over the box. Now it's up to me to terminate the line and install the camera. I'm using POE cameras. Any advice on how to install a camera over a 1-gang electrical box with a brick surround? Thanks again!

You should be able to mount the camera to the plastic blank plate. You'll have to drill a hole through it for the cable as well. Then follow my instructions for terminating a cable inside a junction box.

Use conduit for option 3 to,protect the cable……lol ok just read your pinned comment…..that is correct

My house was pre-installed with cable going to a gang box in brick. What's the best approach for mounting the camera and running the cable from box to camera? Can the camera install on top of the gang box?

Sometimes the camera will have holes that line up. If it doesn't, you could try getting a blank cover for the box and attaching the camera to that.
