I’m going to be fitting cctv and running cat6 cables to the cameras as well as a cable from the NVR to my router on the other side of the house.

The issue being that I am not going to be able to have a straight cable. There’s going to have to be bends and going up walls or round door frames.

How much of an impact will this make and does anyone have any tricks to how they route their cable or know how it’s affected your data bandwidth.

Thanks in advance.
 
As long as it isn't tight bends it shouldn't make any difference. For any cable that is showing outside, it may be worth considering using conduit to add a bit of protection from it getting cut by anyone

Obviously try and keep distances as short as possible
 
Thanks. I’m planning on getting conduit along the wall and will try and route the cables shortest route possible.
