First off, I want to say that I've been reading this forum for several months and have learned a lot ... so, thanks to the community. There seems to be some very knowledgeable and experienced people on this forum so I'm hoping someone can provide a solution to my problem.
I need to improve security camera coverage for a property that I own and need to mount cameras about 20 feet above ground on some type of pole. When I Google CCTV poles and look at the prices they seem to start at $750 a pole and go up from there. I need at least 10 poles so a $7.5K investment just for the poles makes the project unfeasible. The poles don't need to be aesthetically pleasing, just functional and stable under normal wind conditions.
Does anyone here have any good ideas for making a low cost camera pole? I'm trying to think outside the box so any feedback is welcome.
