[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 341919, member: 23472"] The way I look at it. A swa cable's armour its its screen. (so long as its connected to earth) Every CCTV camera will need its own coax and supply. Is there enough room in the duct? The keypad? is it for the gates? I doubt it will have screened cable The Beams you propose, what are they for? I assume they are perimeter protection? I would suggest you don't bother with them..........here is why Unlike in the movies, perimeter beams false alarm quite a lot, UNLESS you install them in pairs or buy the pair units, the reason is birds set them off, falling leaves set them off, any blown rubbish can set them off. The problem if you will, is they are not cheap, starting at £80 / pair, but to "guard" a perimeter you need several pairs, then you have to run a cable to each unit from the house, which will involve more underground ducting. In short, I would not bother with the beams, install new ducting for the cameras and that way you never will get a problem. As for what CCTV kit, it depends on what you want to "see" I suggest you read my reply in the post which you will find if you [URL="https://electricianforum.co.uk/topic/25064-cctv-help/"] CLICK HERE [/URL] [/QUOTE]
