I wouldn't put anything like this in a loft you have the temperature changes but also dirt and dust being sucked into the machine. They are a server treat them like one. Come on man 5-50? Look up specs Put them in a cupboard or room where dust also collects and they get clogged up there to Quote

jim239 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Posted March 12, 2020 Ok, so I have uploaded some pictures from the outside to give a better idea of what I am talking about. Here is a picture of where my two turrets will go to cover my biflolds and this side of my house positioned on the corner of my ground floor rear extension. fullsizeoutput_cb7 by James Allchurch, on Flickr I was originally going to put the cables through the opening for the drain hopper with the turrets mounted on junction boxes but I am thinking maybe drill through to the flat roof. I don't want to compromise the water tightness of my flat roof though. Here is a picture from up on the roof. aA2llWFnRY+f4bwkdOB+1Q by James Allchurch, on Flickr After getting the cables on to the flat roof I was then planning on running them up behind the drain pipe then into the loft. At most I think the cable run will be obvious coming over the top of the flat roof and onto the drain pipe and then again back off the pipe and into the loft space. like below on1Ig%lVTT2lquPUw0frmw by James Allchurch, on Flickr 0Ll%jJ01SBmVLu%wDd%rDQ by James Allchurch, on Flickr Hopefully that gives a better idea of what I am planning to do. Any other suggestions would be really appreciated. Cheers Jim Quote

sixwheeledbeast Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Upto you on the aesthetics really, clips look terrible on render like that. Personally I'd be thinking white 20mm conduit female ends straight into vandal resistant domes. Drill through the corner for the back one. This is all if you can't do it from inside of course. I imagine if someone did it on cost, cable ties down the drain pipe lash it across the flat roof but you did say you came here for professional advice. Quote

I started the garden project in September a year after the house build but then the wet weather hit and put everything on hold. Still loads to do on the place I don't think I will ever be finished with jobs lol. If I drill into the corners and mount the turrets, can I do away with the junction boxes I have got? or would I still need those to waterproof the connections on the camera? I think it would look better drilling through the corners but how would I best seal the cable going through the felt side of the flat roof? Quote
PeterJames Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 You could bury the cables and come up from the ground with tubing. Quote
