CCTV setup part 1

This is a semi-major undertaking of  setting up 8 cameras (3 outdoor, 5 indoor) in one of our major clients.  We needed a ladder, 3 rolls 135 meter rolls coax cables.  We also needed electrical wires with sufficient gauge just for fire safety; outlets; moldings (just to keep costs reasonably low); rugby, cable ties; electrical tape of course.

First, the PC that will record the areas are setup...

Then we begin the layoutting of the cables.  We purchased a expandable ladder.  Ladder is 3.7 meters maximum.  But alas, we will find out the length is insufficient in some cases.

We will go through dark areas of the building, so it's best to use a high-power lamp like the one from Fox Electronics' emergency light.  It has 2 diode lamp, capable of running for 10 hours if 1 lamp running.

The cables will have to run above the ceiling, so tearing a hole is necessary.

See the power of illumination.

Cables will go through this office.

The ceiling, now open for insertion.  Not an easy task.  The cement ceiling is just less than a foot from the wood.

Another ladder in the hallway.

One camera will be installed in the prayer area.

The ladder is useful.

Clipping and cutting the coax cables.

 Job partly done.
