Hi there,
Someone else on this forum had very sensibly suggested that housing a DVR in the loft and then running the camera cables down from the roof behind the guttering is quite an easy and neat way of putting some CCTV cameras on the side of the house.
My house is complete now and I got to view it this week. Sadly, my telescopic ladder did not arrive in time, so I couldn't get into the loft, but the builders tell me there are no power sockets in there.
On the consumer unit, there is a breaker with the label: MVHR + TV.
The MVHR stands for heat recovery system and TV stands for the TV booster box so it looks like there must be some form of power up there, just not an actual plug socket.
Does anyone else have similar and if so, have you managed to tap off of this supply to provide a single plug point for something like a DVR? Would be great if anyone has any advice on this.
