OK. I can already feel the eyes rolling
I am working in a yard where we are having trouble with vandalism.
There is absolutely no way of getting a cable (easily) down the to front gate, as the perimeter is hedging and the car park is concreted entirely.
The ONLY duct to the gate from the building houses a pair of Fibre optic broadband cables. I think it's a flexible 50mm duct and it has a draw rope.
This is a no no I realise. but kinda out of ideas. Cutting up the car park isn't going to happen.
I could in theory, just run an external cat6e down there and put up a POE camera. But ideally we want to put up a couple LED floods.
The mains I don't believe will interfere with the fibre, but I am sure this will be massively frowned upon.
Shall I get my coat?
edit...
The other option is to go the long way around, but that would mean some kind of trunking mounted to a fence like the one below.
Not an easy install, and the fence 'could' be damaged by reversing cars, so I imagine it will need mechanical protection from that possible event.
Can you install Galv trunking outside successfully?
Reason for trunking is there is talk of future car chargers, so the ability to run multiple cables out would be helpful.
