- In this video I am showing how to install a security camera under a eave. I'm installing this camera in with a vinyl soffit and showing how to keep the wires hidden. I touch on other scenarios with some helpful tips and tricks that should help you with your install. It's a pretty easy job but will require some patience.
Here's some of the things used in the video:

Subscribed immediately when your helper used her broom to sweep cobwebs!
Lol.. yea she doesn't like those.. 😂. Thanks for the sub..
Dude, this video is gonna save me so much time! You answered all my questions I had about getting the wires into the soffit and whatnot. thank you so much! I got tired of dealing with batteries on my blink cameras so I bought really long USB power cables and I'm going to wire them up.
Awesome! Glad I could help.... Good luck. 😀
Yup. I was a pro security syst installer years ago and this is spot on. Good vid.
Excellent! Thanks for the great feedback..
Well explained and nice video presentation. Gave me the confidence to complete my security camera install. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great video! This helped me with information I needed on two separate projects! Subscribed and liked. Thanks and stay safe.
Awesome! Thank you for the sub... I'm glad I could help.

You're welcome!
Thank you - this was very helpful!
You're very welcome!
Good video, I have ordered some of the parts you have shown. Thanks
Glad I could help.. You're welcome.. 😊
I did a word search for removing the soffit to run the PoE cable. Yours is the first to show and to look for the nail that holds it in place. I will be looking for that and go from there. Thanks for the info. I will email this link to myself. : )
You are welcome! Glad I was able to help.. 😀
Well done thanks for your time :)
Thank you and you're welcome!
Lots of really useful tips, tks mate
Happy to help... 😀
It really help me alot since ive been clueless on how am i suppose to install it without the wire being exposed
I'm glad I could help... 😀
great job, thanks!
Thank you so much!
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.. You're welcome.. 😊
Simple to install and operate
Yes, thank you... 😀
Great video. I’m dealing with my camera wires and trying to figure out a best wat to hide my wires
Awesome! Yes every situation is a little different... 😀
installing outlets at all 4 corners of the soffit was the best thing I did when I built my home.
Oh cool... gives an easy access to power! With wireless cameras (video) would be a breeze..
More easily said than done, if you have continuous gutter around the home it will be heck trying to pull that facia to access the soffit. That's the video i want to see.
That's true, the gutter wouldn't help much...
If you know how to wire circuits. I cut all the plugs off and figured out the power wires red/black for Cam & Wireless power and using the power supply it works great! I just used 2 wire conductor cable, soldered connectors to camera pc board, beats drilling big holes.
Yes that's one way to do it... those white soffit parts are easy to replace if you ever want to take down the cameras... Thanks for the tips.. 😊
Hey, excellent video. I have a back-split house. How do I bring the CAT wiring from one attic to another attic? Drilling in drywall? I'm unsure of what to do.
Good question! I can't see your situation. Every house will be different. You'll have to look for an area in the attic where both roofs are in common. OR one is on top of the other. In that case there should be a way to drill through the plywood without coming out through the shingles! An obvious give away would be the shingle nails. You probably won't see shingle nails in those areas unless the 2nd roof was put on as an addition and wasn't part of the original house..
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel Good suggestion, I don't have enough electrical/DIY knowledge to appreciate what you said in its entirety but I sorta get it hahahha. xD But I think I'm thinking wrong... why am I looking to merge the wires in the attic space by drilling through walls? I should just merge the wires from the 1st floor attic to the 2nd floor attic from the outside using conduit, from one soffit panel to the other. Am I onto something? The conduit would be between 1-1.5m I believe, not too much.
@@ufchistorian13 Yes absolutely that would work. If you have vinyl siding, you can pull the siding and feed the wire underneath. I have to caution you on that. If you're not familiar with how to put vinyl siding back together it can be a real pain to get it back together!... Did I mention it could be a pain?.. 😂😂
Whats the best REASONABLY PRICED FISHTAPE YOU WOULD RECOMMEND?? thank you
Harbor Freight has a couple of reasonable choices..😊
Have a hip roof with trusses and impossible to climb through, let alone run cable.
That's what this roof is.... There should be a space between the top of the wall and the roof where the rafters/ trusses run through and the cable will easily go through..
Thank you for the video. It's inevitable, I have to take dominion of my attic whether there are coons, snakes or fiddle backs up there or not.
Lol.. Yea you don't really want those critters up there! especially the fiddlebacks!.. 😂. You're welcome..
How can I run wire when I have zero attic space ? Thought I could just run the wire around the house but , can't go more than 250ft . So I have to figure out how to run it .... Help !
Zero attic space as in its very short? Or literally no attic access at all? I can't see your house so it's really hard to tell the best path. Every house is different. Are you on 1 floor? Do u have a eave? Vinyl siding? Need way more info😊😊
