I'm looking for inspiration,I'm looking to mount on my front door at eye level to get a good facial ID of anyone walking through my gate towards my door.

I've currently 2 cameras looking at that area which do provide in most instances a very good shot of any activity at the gate.

But I'm looking for the money shot, so this camera will need to be stealth as it will be right in reach of any subject that comes close enough.

Need some inspiration for how to hide a starlight camera, but also which form factor would work best for this also.

The idea may not come to fruition but I like the idea and want to at least explore the possibility.

Images of your stealthy contraptions would be most welcome

This is why I think more cameras need to come with camouflage accessories, so we can make them more well hidden.

I'm actually warming to the idea of making a box type enclosure that incorporates the house number.

So something like a 3d house number plaque.

The only thing with that is the size it will need to be in terms of depth so house a starlight.

Even the new smaller 4mp turret ones are a fair size to disguise

Love that my man!

Do you have any pricing for those models?
They dont mention starlight tech but the figures on lux look to be ok, I'm just thinking with it being 4mp, dont want a poor image

Also how much is the main box?
Just send you a PM for the lens selection, we keep L1 and L3 right now

This one is nice and small, but FYI I have a version of the barrel camera and its awful in a semi-dark environment.

Check out this other post on these forums, well done and would also provide great night vision: First cam up HDBW4321FP-AS 2.8mm check the post by Jim Peterson
Thanks looks like a good read.

I'll have a look through the whole thread

We are a month or so from breaking ground on a new house and the front door will have carriage lights that are hopefully going to have a big enough base to install a camera in. Months ago I’d found this pic and we hope to duplicate the look.
Now I like that!

What camera are you hoping to mount in it?

I'd seriously consider this

4321F. There are 3 sizes to our lights, I chose the medium and the damn light is $540 each, hope the cam will fit. If not I’ve got to go up in light size as does cost at $849 per light. They are bronze and corrosion is a big concern as we are on a saltwater bay. Stuck like Chuck.

Lol you and me both and that doesn’t take into account the remaining 9 matching lights nor the 35 plus bronze land scape lights. Buy once and cry once.
