Thanks @beepsilverI have the Dahua Dual Cam (see my signature for nomenclature).
..
I use backlighting (BLC), otherwise foreground objects/people are too dark.
Just drill into the wall from the outside, but don't breach the drywall on the inside...then feed the CAT cable in and grab the wire either from a lower outlet box or from the attic, depending on where you want to go with it.Thanks @beepsilver
Looks like a really sweet setup. Have you shared how you ran the cable to that location on the forum?

damn...great [camera] view
What does super model do on her day off.
Depends on how far you can shoot your load....I do notice that it seems about 1/2 of the front door cams are around 7 or 8 feet off the ground. Is that too high for facial shots?
I like the idea of that.I have the Dahua Dual Cam (see my signature for nomenclature).

You may want to try rotating an existing 16:9 camera by 90 degrees. Especially in narrow environments where you don't need wide FOVs. If you rotate, you'll be surprised how you can get darn near floor to ceiling range.I like the idea of that.
I've had the idea to use a pinhole camera behind a peep hole in the door. This gives me the idea to have one above the door directly down.
Can't remember the video I saw it in, but an Axis video shows them rotating the camera to 'corridor' view. Exact same thing and it would be ideal for a narrow front entrance.You may want to try rotating an existing 16:9 camera by 90 degrees.

That's how I have my 5231 setup, in corridor mode. I'll try to get a pic later for OP, but I can see from doorsill to the ceiling of my porch.You may want to try rotating an existing 16:9 camera by 90 degrees.

5.5 ft. / also in corridor mode.nice setup. how high is the camera mounted?
Waiting on a pic of that cam mounting itself.That's how I have my 5231 setup, in corridor mode. I'll try to get a pic later for OP, but I can see from doorsill to the ceiling of my porch.
Yes, that is correct. You turn your camera by 90° so the 16:9 now becomes a 9:16... Much like all the dolts that record video on their iFruits as vertical (black bars on left/right side). Then, in your software (either camera's native gui or your NVR/BlueIris) you tell it to rotate the image by 90° (or 270° if you spun it the opposite way). It's a one time thing, and from them on you'll have that wide field of view dedicated to the height of the door.Waiting on a pic of that cam mounting itself.
Trying to understand that you actually mount the camera with the window itself vertically instead of horizontally and then in your software you tell it to rotate the picture 90 degrees or "corridor" mode.
Is this correct ?
