Carey Seznak's Portfolio: June 2016

My goal with this project is to have a camera that covers the entire front of my house, especially the front windows and one that gets cars that come by. Called DigRite and will be waiting on them before any digging happens. Here is me doing some test runs and scoping out what possible ways I can mount two cameras.

This camera covers removes so you can adjust the angle and hid the mounting screws. The outside screws require a security bit. Figure if anyone is willing to go through all that and be caught on camera in the process they must be very dumb.

Not sure if I like this setup yet. It kinda makes it's self a baseball bat target.

Inside the mailbox there is plenty of room for a camera. That would require drilling though.

So far the plan is to trench,run the cables and experiment with different cameras to see what may work.

Here comes the rain!

DigRite finally came out. Verbally told me how deep stuff was and that my cable path was in no danger.

Gas, power, and water lines were marked in my path but are at least 2-6 feet down.

Pulled back the siding and drilled into the wood on the front of the house. Too many other utilities to worry about for me to run out of the side of the house with a conduit box. Ran along the basement and tapped the cable along the way. When I was done I filled the hole I made with silicone.

Added more sand after the cable was hidden and because the house needed it.

Simply took a shovel and pushed the dirt back away from the drive and walk way. Make it deep enough to cover your cables.

The gutter drain pipe ran along my path too so had to pull it up slightly to work with. After hours of hand digging in the rain I wasn't getting my pipe through. Tried hammering it through but nothing. Got my power washer out and that took a while too, going back and forth on both side to make a hole. It's an easy concept but difficult to do alone, especially in the rain.
