Once CCTV position is finalised we need to lay conduit for each CCTV to CCTV Panel ( DVR or NVR). 3M GI Metal box can be concealed just below the sunshade. Care should be taken to see if there is any obstruction when the window is open in front of the camera or any other unseen structure changes from original drawings. Avoid fittings like elbows, tees etc. while laying pipe for CCTV cable. Use bend and junction instead.

If you wish place camera in front of your gate to monitor roads then you can put a 25mm plumbing pipe through the ground near the gate. If all these things are done in advance while constructing you new house, we can avoid the filthy and dirty extensions and piping work that we see in many places later when CCTV is installed.
