mounting

I just installed this camera using the waterproof wall mount. Even with the camera aimed as far away from the wall as possible, there's still quite a bit of the wall in the camera's view (probably takes up about 30% of the field of view). Are there any better ways to mount this camera?

I am looking at installing a fisheye camera in my kitchen. I am looking at going with Hivision for my outside cameras, but really like the low profile install of the Avigilon H5A ceiling mount. Just so it doesn't look a big camera in the room. I couldn’t find another camera that provided the...

Hello, I live in New Orleans and I have the largest Hikivision PTZ’s in the front of my home and in the back. They are connected to my Blue Iris machine. They are great. My only issue is they are so big that they instantly deter anyone from doing anything, I understand that’s the point, but my...

Good Day All, Are there any good cameras for blue iris that hook up the way Unifi G4 cameras do internally? I've mainly only used Dahua/Hik cams for Blue iris. Love the cameras, but I need some low profile cameras running through brick, so don't want to have ugly boxes that the cameras are...

I have some Lorex LNB8111-C bullet cameras. I'm wanting to mount them under the soffit, but I'll only be able to adjust the pitch of the camera. It doesn't twist side to side when in that position. Do they make a box or something that I can mount to the camera to that will allow it to twist...

When mounting a turret style Dahua cam such as the 5231, would you mount direct to the soffit or use a junction box?

I am looking for suggestions on weather proofing the connection of an RJ59 Siamese cable to an HD-TVI camera that is mounted outdoors. Specifically, I am wanting to know how you would go about doing this and what hardware you would use. Reliability through changing seasons and weather is...

Hi, I want to install a SD49225T-HN IP PTZ on to a pole and was wondering what the recommend height should be for my application. I want to mount the PTZ on a pole next to the driveway, about 1.5m - 2m from the street. Its purpose will be to monitor the street for approaching vehicles around...

I have a Lorex LNB4173 bullet cam that I'm installing and am a little surprised to find it doesn't seem to be able to rotate around the axis perpendicular to the mounting base. If I mount it on the ceiling, it seems to be fixed pointing in that direction. I can move it up or down, but not around...

I just bought a few Dahua IPC-HFW4631F-ZSA cams from AliExpress to replace my fathers current 10-15 yo system. Now these are going to be outside so I want them to be water proof, the camera's are IP 67 rated but I have a question about mounting it: This is the mounting frame, I screwed it in...

Hello all, I have read through the cliff notes and ordered everything I need (PC for BI, PoE Switch, Cat5 cable, HD's etc.). The only thing I have left to order are the cameras. I will be ordering Dahuas from Andy as from what I can tell they have a very good price to performance ratio. The...

My suction cup stopped working on an el cheapo dashcam. I tried the most sensible solution and put it back up with silicone adhesisve. The adhesive failed recently after several months, now that it is warm. I felt silicone would work. What else? Epoxy? Superglue? I don't care too much if...

The eaves of my garage are not parallel to the ground. They slant with the pitch of the roof. I have a cable drop coming out of the wood covering the rafters where I intend to install a camera. However, because of the angle of the roof, the camera will essentially point at the ground. Any...

I am planning to mount an outdoor IP camera just below a roof eaves (see attached picture). The drill location for the cat6 wire is about 6" to 12" away from the planned camera mounting location. Do I need to run the cat6 wire through a 1/2" flex conduit, or can I just drill a 1/4" hole and...

Hello Everyone. I just recently joined and I have been very impressed by all of the help that people offer to each other here. I'm currently in the research phase to determine the best route to go with cameras and locations for mounting. I'm a renter so I have some limitations as to...

I am getting ready to mount my cameras to the outside of my house and I was hoping for some ideas on how to accomplish this. Here is the scenario on what I am mounting to and what I would like to accomplish. A little bit of history on the house. I live in the desert, gets really hot here. In...
