Nothing better then a 10 Degree day with 40mph winds to put your camera up! I am ready for some scotch!!

That pretty high up there, you might be getting more head shots and less facial shots.
If it was me, I would mount it just right above garage door height out of reachable

Let's see if this links works. Quick test with no camera adjustments. Factory settings.

From ground to camera it's about 13' . When I zoom towards the end of the drive I will get some good pics of faces. This cam is more to catch what's going on. I am going to be installing a few more fixed cams lower at different angles to get cross coverage and better straight on views.

Did that mount come with your camera? I kinda want one like that but it doesn't really matter too much they both work.

The camera L arm came with it. The junction box did not. I highly recommend getting the junction box .

Did you get it from Andy? I'm probably going to be doing a pole mount and I'm trying to figure out how I'll protect the Ethernet connection at the end of the pigtail.

if I were mounting a PTZ on a pole on my house, I'd get like a 2" piece of LDR pipe and weld a 1/4" thick plate to the top and a few links of chain at least half way up for guy wires.. then paint it with some truckliner from harbor freight.. but I have most all that stuff on hand heh.. then I'd put it in a cheap roof top antenna tripod and attach i-bolts to studs through the roof for the guy lines.. proabibly some thin galvanized stuff with a turnbuckle for tightening.
just to give you ideas; I tend to over-engineer the shit out of problems

Use the PFA150 pole mount with the PFA140 water tight junction box.

Personally I would not pole mount it unless the pole is really really strong! Wind would shake the shit out of it.....

Yup, that'd be me. The galaxy hasn't aligned properly as yet for me to get it installed.

Maybe, it would be a pretty short pole though, possibly the one on the satellite mount, and it's pretty heavy duty, it's currently holding a pretty big dish

YThe only thing I had to get extra was the junction box. The mounting arm comes with.
