    Help achieving the angle with my mount

    Yes, I was kicking myself for not taking pictures before I left the house. I'll get some up soon. @mat200 I agree there are lots of ways to position the camera, very flexible, but it comes down to the fact I'm trying to mount it vertically on a wall but facing forward. It can only be...

    Help achieving the angle with my mount

    Hello! you were all kind enough to help me pick out a new camera (DH-IPC-HDW5442T-ZE ), it has arrived, I've got it working with my Lorex NVR. Next step is to mount it, but I'm running in to some issues. I want to mount it on the side of the house, facing front towards the center of the house...

    @mat200 so it appears IPC-T5442T-ZE is not compatible with PFA122 ( 3 holes ) according to the specs. But my question is, if its compatible with PFA130-E (round junction box, 3 holes) why wouldn't the square one work?

    @mat200 excellent! thanks for confirmation - I'm pleased to see that these junction boxes are fairly "standard" and that my cameras could be upgraded in the future pretty easily. Worst case, I need to switch out the top, not too bad! I think I will just grab one of the cameras linked by...

    Your videos are amazing! I can't believe they are that sharp - and those bears?! Maybe I need to up my game and get a PTZ! I'd be lucky to catch a stray cat in my yard let alone any cool wildlife :D

    I've been checking out the wiki - great info. Learning a lot. Thanks so much for your responses and guidance so far. As for the non-varifocal versions of the 5442 series - seems like for only $50 more varifocal might be the way to go. Sorry to diverge from my own topic - but - Do most people...

    I have the PFA121 box which work well for the cameras that came with the kit, haven't looked into if its compatible with the 5442 camera shared above. https://www.amazon.com/Dahua-PFA121-Waterproof-Junction-Security/dp/B01KVXULMC Thanks for responding!

    Great, I can handle that I think. I'm checking out the camera @looney2ns posted above, looks pretty cool. Is there a more "entry level" version of that camera? Sorry - I'm still a newb and sorting through the specs and all of the acronyms has my head spinning! Now I'm trying to sort out if I...

    Excellent, thanks for replying. I'll take a look at your thread now. Is it fair to assume these would work on my current NVR or is there some way to test compatibility?
