what is your method of installing

Recommended Posts

I was an electrician before installing CCTV. I've run wires in the worse spots imaginable, basements that are 15" high in the dirt with.. my mortal enemy.. bugs. I've dug ditches 3' deep to run lines for wells. I was basically the ***, my step dad was a master electrician i worked for him. Now running cctv is a lot easier but i do it all myself. 90% of the time i run from source to cameras because we buy reel's and unreel a few at a time, and its usually easier to snake a few wires rather than one at a time.

That reminds me, this last year was a bad one for me:

 

1.) Found copperhead nest in like crawlspace, lucky only got hit once.

 

2.) August heatwave, had heat stroke in attic luckly I fell through into the AC.

 

 

All around installing wire sucks but I haven't had problems like those before.

yeah i fell out the attic before from heatstroke .. also i got 2 scars on my head from where nails went through, and down here there are no codes enforced so i got shocked more than once from open electric boxes. Needless to say i never go in attics anymore.
