Step by step instructions on how to install a security camera under the soffit or eeves of your home, and make it look like a professional did it. Including how to terminate ethernet to RJ45.

This will show you how to run the power/ethernet/POE through the attic and into your soffits / eeves, how to pull the wires, and how to mount the camera.

This install is in aluminum soffits on a garage. Building designs can call be different but this method should work for many buikding designs with attic access.

The key is to get the metal beads/fishing rods/cordage between the joists and the roofing material and out into the soffit and then fish it through the hole.
