That last scenario (interior camera on lower floor) is what I was asking. I'm comfortable pulling cable through an attic and down walls without any problem. The problem is when they need to be on the lower level on the interior. What a nightmare. Yes, I hate insulated walls too. Even worse than insulated walls, though, is a nice fireblock to drill through. It's one thing when you're pulling a single cable, but I did a job just last week that was a 16 camera system and there was a fireblock halfway up the wall at the endpoint where I was connecting to my DVR. That's a big bundle of cable at that point!!!

Hello Forum members. I'm new to the Forum and look forward to discussing all things CCTV with you. Decided about 9 months ago to add CCTV and Access Control to my services as we were a primarily resi security company beforehand. Have about 30 successful projects behind us at this point and are looking forward to increasing that significantly this year. I cringe every time I have to bid on a customer that wants cameras in their two story home. Homes here are typically concrete slab construction. If they are wanting exterior cameras, that's no big deal as we are good at running conduit when necessary to get to the attic to run our cables or running wires inside garage. But what do I do when they want interior cameras on the main floor? Can you give me some ideas and techniques that you use to run cables in this scenario with little to no wall/ceiling damage. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
