Ri22o where did you get your post from? I have an idea for this to put a unifi camera into at the end of my yard.

I used this post sleeve from Menards.

How did you do that?
Did you had the hose ready, or you had to dig and get into the house under the foundations?
Looks like a great install, judging by the hose diameter (3/4) if i'm guessing correctly, you can even use more cables if you will need in the future.

I ran rigid conduit from my basement and then converted to the liquid tite conduit.

What happens if you remove that soffit? Could you drill a hole in the stucco above the doorbell area to get down into the wall?

That's a good question. I have to remove the soffit to see if I can access the inside of the wall. The small roof over the front door is about a foot higher than the walls. So there may be an issue with a wall extension to deal with

If I can get CAT 6 there, I have to figure out what the camera will be there. Ideally, a doorbell camera, but I have to do some research
