Turret camera base extension

[CenterDev]

I’m putting a turret camera under the roof eave. Initial testing and location look good. A very small portion of the gutter is reflecting IR light on to the lens at night. A 1-2” piece of wood would solve my problem, but would prefer to have a nicer finish. Is there a 5” round base available on the market? All I found is an angled based. Thanks.

My neighbor used a little bit of aluminum trim around the top half of the camera and painted it matte black and that solved the IR bounce. Or lower the angle or the camera itself.

He still gets nice video of the top of heads with the camera mounted that high, but that is another topic and discussion LOL.

Or you could try this. A different style camera, but it could still work with a turret.

Sunshade/Sunshield for IPC-HFW4431R-Z?

I bought two of these white-box Dahua bullets, and they definitely need more of sunshield than the tiny little one that's integrated into the housing: Google finds nothing! Does such a thing exist? Or do I have to make my own?

So what brand and model cam? Are you already using a mounting box for the cam? If not, that box would drop the cam down some. When you say 5", are you talking diameter or drop?

For that location, it is a Hikvision OEM camera. looking for 5" diameter base (actual camera base is 4.75"), I only need to extend 1-2". wittaj gave me a couple of good ideas to try and investigate.

Thank you both. I'll report back on which method I end up with.

I use
cam mount model # JB-TZ for all my camera’s, purchased at Nelly’s Security that’s slightly over-sized for dome, turrets & bullet camera bases. Best part that there’s approximately 2.315. depth of space to tuck in the wires, with a 5 inch ++ diameter base to work with. The holes are pre-drilled and threaded with screws included. Hope that helps.
