buildings?? and
Yep...that's why I've been sitting back watching you guys hash this out.
My thoughts exactly.
In any case, the issue was resolved in another manner since I asked the question.
The device is the controller box for a 4 camera WiFi security system. The location where it was going to be placed was the only place where it could consistently communicate with all 4 cameras.
A deeper reading of the manual revealed that you can program the cameras to talk to/through each other, as opposed to each one talking directly to the controller.
e.g. Place the controller in Location A and all 4 cameras can communicate with it, but the power wiring is an issue.
Place it in Location B and only Cameras 1, 2, and 4 can reach it, but the power wiring is not a problem.
Now, program Camera 3 to send its signal to Camera 4 and let Camera 4 forward the video to the Controller. Problem solved and no need to run wires through a wall or ceiling.
OK, now for the next question:
- Camera mounted on exterior wall.
- Hole drilled through exterior siding and interior drywall.
- 12V wire from wall wart passed though hole to camera. Straight shot, maybe 6", no sleeve, no box.
- Mounting plate on camera covers the hole in exterior wall.
- RG6 style bushing used in interior drywall hole.
Thumbs up or thumbs down?
