Drip loop needed in this situation?

[inforlonghaul]

Getting ready to mount a couple of cameras to the outside of one of our buildings in a couple of weeks and need some advice. I've installed a few outside cameras but they've always been under eaves or I've been able to go straight through the brick.

I understand the concept of drip loops, but have never had to do it before, so I'm wondering if it's necessary in this particular scenario. I've attached a couple of reference pictures to show what I'm doing.

This is all going to be run through the non-metallic flex conduit with the appropriate waterproof fittings and no cables exposed.

I would.

I would.

I kind of thought so, and it was even advised by another to consider doing it, but I've never been led astray here so I thought it best to get a concrete answer here. Thanks!

The cable gland are the weakest point. I would definitely make a drip loop.

Me, too.

Yep. So do the orange route with entrance on bottom plus drip loop. Make that water work to get in there!
