I fabricated a wood box for mounting a camera under my eaves. My eaves were too narrow for a normal Dahua junction box.
Any recommendations or things I should do before I mount this under the eaves? My main concern is water getting and sitting between the camera and the wood.
I am going prime it using Kilz Mold & Mildew Interior/Exterior Primer. I am going to caulk the seams so the paint doesn't crack over time due to expansion/contraction and caulk around the box when I mount it. Then finally paint the whole thing using the brown trim color to match the eaves.
I am going to use 2 3/4 Tapcon screws to anchor in the hardy plank board.
