    what's the right bracket for a IPC-T5442T-ZE 4MP Starlight?

    This may be a stilly/stupid question. but How does a junction box differ from a wall mount ? I just ordered the IPC-T5442T-ZE from Andy and i also got the pfa130-e junction box with it. Did i fuck up ? Should I have gotten the PFB203W Instead? Do i still need to order the PFB203W ?

    Camera Placement

    Any tips on Camera Placement ? I imagine 6-8 cameras should suffice. I took a video of the outside of my place. I am concerned about all 4 sides of the house honestly. That jungle can house anything. But there's a military base on the other side of the jungle.
