How do I place cameras at this Site?

Hi. I'm new here and my question is ancillary to building code expertise, which I have very little of. I'm being asked to camera a shopping center that's all already built, and was built without any consideration anywhere for low voltage or Ethernet.

The Image in question (it's a shopping center - concrete construction)

I'm hoping someone can tell me roughly what I should use? Exposed wire is not okay here, but neither is penetrating all that concrete. Can I use simple PVC for the runs, or should I use LFNC, or should I be suggesting rigid metal and all the difficulty that goes with it?

And, since shopping centers aren't our strength (warehouses are), where am I going to get to run these back into the building?

Thanks for your help
 
Get hooked up with a good supplier like Axis thous of cameras, base, and mounting, IP base is the way to go, I would use pipe
 
Talk to an electrician

They can get wires anywhere

a strange question to begin with
