Home cameras - no cameras on the house

[Ed Boyer]

Thinking about installing some cameras on 4x4 post on the woods edge around my house also. They will be mounted about 8 ft high should I use turret or bullet style cameras. Do the same principles apply to mounting on a post as a house.

I mounted a couple on a light pole I installed for LPR. pole mounting works really well and I’m tempted to add another to look back at the house.

Really does hide the cams, where did you get the light pole?

My only complaint is the post/neck is really narrow at the top. I was able to get the wiring through it but it’s a bear to take the head on/off if needed.

The turret wasn’t enough zoom to capture plates so I replaced it with two of the 12x zoom ones.. can’t recall the model off the top of my head.

Lovely house their my friend... In the UK that would cost £1,000,000 I bet it cost you a lot less When I first glanced at it I thought all three where yours

@cyberwolf_uk Thank you for the compliment. It was the ugliest house on the block and the couple that lived there went through a 4 or 5 year divorce so it needed some work. Their two boys also did some damage on the place. I have been busy with work, but I am still putting this together. I have poles and enough equipment to get my guys started on everything.

You can't beat purchasing a house from a couple falling out... can knock a lot of the final purchase price! I got 20k off my last purchase as the couple just wanted out and I could complete a quick sale! Happy Days

Yeah, I think we beat them down about 50k off the bat, then another 17k after the inspection. The husband took the house in the divorce, but the wife was still living there, so he just wanted to move on.
