    How to keep spiders from building webs over my outdoor wall mounted cam?

    Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Looking for a more long-lasting fix.

    How to keep spiders from building webs over my outdoor wall mounted cam?

    Here's a sample, BTW. That's about a month's accumulation.

    How to keep spiders from building webs over my outdoor wall mounted cam?

    How often do you have to apply it, because I have to access it via extension ladder. :( and can I spray it on the flood lights too or will it damage them,

    How to keep spiders from building webs over my outdoor wall mounted cam?

    I installed both a security camera and a pair of flood lights fairly close together. Yes, it was a bad idea, but it would be very difficult to change at this point. It's a POE cam and the wall I accessed it from during a remodel is nearly finished. Does anyone know any tricks to keep spiders...

    Do there exist outdoor Ethernet security cameras that screw into a 3/4" electrical box cover hole?

    Yes, the cover has its own gasket which I am using. I'm talking about a gasket between the camera base and the outside of the cover. The camera base doesn't have (and didn't come with) a gasket. You can see the custom gasket in the photo I posted above.

    Do there exist outdoor Ethernet security cameras that screw into a 3/4" electrical box cover hole?

    Yup, that's it (minus the custom gasket).

    Annke i91BL config issue

    Price must've dropped. I paid $100 at the beginning of this year.

    Do there exist outdoor Ethernet security cameras that screw into a 3/4" electrical box cover hole?

    Since people seem interested, I just went out and took a pic to show you my install. It's annoying. I actually wanted the camera to be higher, but the plumber I hired for my bathroom remodel installed a drain in the exterior wall that goes right over where I wanted to install the camera. He...

    Annke i91BL config issue

    So I installed an Annke 4K bullet cam recently: the i91BL model. I unfortunately discovered that it's 4K stream uses an encoding not (yet) supported by my security system software (Sighthound Video Pro). It streams in h265 and SHV plans to add support for that encoding in an as-yet released...

    Do there exist outdoor Ethernet security cameras that screw into a 3/4" electrical box cover hole?

    Well, that's what I ended up doing anyway, though I wish you guys would have chimed in earlier. I wasted a lot of time trying to solve a problem that would have violated code. And I have the inspection on the electrical work coming up soon. That would have been annoying to have to redo it.

    Do there exist outdoor Ethernet security cameras that screw into a 3/4" electrical box cover hole?

    You do realize I never said I installed a 120V line in the box, right? ;) Admittedly, that was my goal, but I couldn't figure out a way to do it. I didn't trust all that weight on the plastic cover. Besides, the camera base took up too much space, because I couldn't find one with a 3/4"...

    Do there exist outdoor Ethernet security cameras that screw into a 3/4" electrical box cover hole?

    I did end up implementing your suggestion. The box covers come with a punchout in the center that is the right size, so no need to drill. The one custom thing I did do, other than screwing the camera to the cover is, I bought some custom gasket material to waterproof the camera base to the...

    Do there exist outdoor Ethernet security cameras that screw into a 3/4" electrical box cover hole?

    I have spent a ridiculous amount of time today searching for a combo flood light / Ethernet security cam, but I'm convinced they don't exist, so I'm wondering if I can piece together one myself. I can buy a simple flood light with an electrical box cover with holes the lights screw into and the...

    Trump Campaign Sign Being Stolen

    Jesus Christ. I would never do this to my Biden sign. This is sick. I have a cam trained on my Biden sign. That's enough.

    WiFi IP Camera recommendations for Sighthound & macOS?

    That's reassuring. The setup instructions didn't provide a non-QR/non-web-account alternative procedure. I definitely could have tried to get around it, but it just raised my hackles that this was the standard procedure. It didn't give me confidence that privacy was forefront in their minds...
