So I should have my Hikvision domes and NVR coming in the next 3-4 weeks from AliExpress. I will be mounting 2 cameras on the side of a brick wall, 1 camera onto the side of a stone wall, and the rest in soffits in various locations.
I purchased a few brackets/junction boxes for the brick and stone mounts, as I don't think I want to drill larger holes than what is already there (they were pre-wired) and am hoping to be able to shove the connections into the boxes.
What other tips do people have for installation? Whether it's making/securing/protecting the cameras and/or cabling; getting the lens adjusted with as few trips up the ladder as possible, additional weather proofing (I'm in a suburb of Toronto Canada so the climate can be harsh at times with winter).
This is my first camera install, ever. So any help would be appreciated!
