When you don’t have access above or below the wall, try

to estimate the existing cable

and pipe locations from the positions of electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures on both sides of the wall. Also,

take a look at the outside of your house, sometimes a conduit, vent or drain pipe

will be visible and will offer useful information. Choose the route with the fewest

potential obstacles. If your house is built on a slab or

you are wiring between two finished floors, look for base- boards which could be removed and replaced with the cable behind them. Doorjambs can be removed and often have enough space for sensor cable all the way around the door (Figure 14).

Sometimes, an under-the-carpet run is possible. As a last resort, heating and air conditioning vents can be used as cable raceways for plenum rated cable (check your local building codes, some municipalities require a conduit).
