PaulsonLaw 0 Posted January 8, 2012 I had 1" in the first link for a reason! I have to fit 4 cat6 in a 3/4" conduit! Dont think it can be done! Lines... 1st, 4 west bound cameras... 2nd, 4 east bound cameras... 3rd, A/V/IR over cat5 4TH, internet!!! Shat! My only thoughts is to remove the A/V/IR over cat5 & get a magnovox "smart box" for the TV & operate it over the net.... ... The DVR is being placed more secure in a building separate from the building w/ the router.... Any better ideas to solve besides this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardwired 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Add a network switch to combine the cameras and Internet service on one cable? If you have power at both ends, that could be a viable option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SDM Group 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Can you use a multi conductor and punch down block? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted January 8, 2012 You could run all eight cameras into an encoder and just feed them and internet all down a single line... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulsonLaw 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Many option to check into, thanks all... I'm running a zmodo 16ch dvr. The 3/4" line running out from the DVR location was going to carry the internet, 8 cams & the a/v/ir, but I read up I can access the dvr right off the network so not a problem.... more reason to buy a new smart tv lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardwired 0 Posted January 8, 2012 Yes, I missed that they were analog cameras...I don't use them much anymore! You (might!) still be able to get the four cables in a 3/4" conduit, if you are careful, and use lots of pulling lube, with someone helping feed the cables into the pipe.

No worries there, I do think analog cameras are still a viable option in a lot of instances, just that my idea of using a network switch wouldn't work in that instance.

rory 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Replace the Cat6 with multipair UTP? Run another conduit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulsonLaw 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Lay more conduit... I dont think I can put down 1 more stick for least 3months, plus I'd have to bust up concrete around the pole & try not to cut the dog fence line & ... ... .. . On the other hand, I did get the power hooked up today, the wire should arrive in the morning... I bought a liter of pull lube & 500' of 500lb pull rope, 1/4"... I just have to plug in the shop vac & suck the string thru & then we will find out as to the forth.... *** How much pull can tough cat6 handle if I hit a snare? Thanks All! btw, most of you will lol, I could not find a nice hood for my 4 poles to keep bords & snow off the cams, so I ended up buying some 18" heavy plastic flower pot bottoms & painting them to match, flip upside down & they look quite nice... I will have to upload pics of the whole thing on here when it's done, hopefully in a few days... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
