This is my first time to install a CCTV. I am installing four cameras in the house we are building. I have plug and play wires and was able to ask the electrician to install the wires from the ceiling to the wall. I now have a hole in the wall with 4 plug and play wires hanging out. What can I use to cover the hole. Thanks!

Cut in a box and install a face plate dependent on the wire(back-feed to connectors) there are several wall plates on the market for your application. DataPro, leviton etc...makes for a neat clean install. Its a good idea to run LV within walls to a box terminated and access.

The Leviton plates with the snap-in connectors work well... or you can just get a generic blank faceplate and drill a hole in the center.

Here is what I use.

I get these out of the Electrical Section at Home Depot.

Scroll down to the pictures.

QUESTION: Why is there always enough time to go back and fix it right a second time??
