Hi all,
Just wondering what thoughts people had for covering CCTV cables that run on the outside of a property?

Ideally, I want to only drill the holes where the cameras will be situated, but that might not be possible. So I would still like a way of making sure that the cables are as secure as possible.

I've seen the following in Screwfix, would this be suitable?

If I did use something like that, how do I "terminate" the conduit at the end where the cable should come out of the conduit and into the camera?
Something like the following but with a cable entry grommet on one end?

Personally for brining a single flexible cable out of a plastic conduit neatly i'd use a compression gland screwed into a female adaptor.
 
Depending on camera you can get a conduit entry box via a male adaptor eg eyeball deep mounting base.

Thanks guys
The compression gland idea was pretty good, and with the way the conduit was going to run in some places seemed the best idea.
I've fitted two of the cameras for the front, with one camera for the rear going in soon.
Just thought I'd post some pics of what I have so far (from up close, so the property/street cannot be identified!)

First thing I've noticed is the camera running along the side does not have an adequate drip loop, might have to look back over that. There is plenty of free cable on the inside so i could always feed more through.

Any other tips/pointers?
