Yes, I have it mounted vertically...I am also planning on switching it to horizontal to try out that option and see how it works out. I wasn't sure which way would be the best for this application. Update: I re-installed the mount horizontally and this works too...I'll leave it this way since...

Thanks...that was the best solution for what I was hoping to do!

Hey all, I tried corridor mode and I tried rotating the locking screw. I will stick with the rotation of the locking screw as that gives me a good view of the front door as well as the whole front porch and part of the yard. Thanks for all suggestions!

Sounds good guys...I will give that a try.

I just installed this camera using the waterproof wall mount. Even with the camera aimed as far away from the wall as possible, there's still quite a bit of the wall in the camera's view (probably takes up about 30% of the field of view). Are there any better ways to mount this camera?

Here are some pics... Dahua camera photos

I have a couple of Dahua ipc-hdw5831r-ze cameras and the round junction boxes for mounting on an outside wall. I watched a video on Youtube showing how to install the mount and the camera, and it looks like there's supposed to be a plastic ring that attaches to the outside metal plate of the...

Gotcha...makes sense. Thanks for the ballpark figure; that will help if I decide to look for more quotes on doing that kind of installation. I think for now I will run the cable myself. The current coax is hidden pretty well and not really visible unless you're looking for it, since it goes...

Yeah, I can't imagine how much more it would cost to have the cabling go through the walls, but he said it would take a lot more labor since he'd have to drill holes through joists and fish the cable through, then patch drywall. I know this is a less secure route to take, but really...who goes...

The installer came out for an estimate and the quote seemed high to install cable, install POE switch, and connect to router in office. All cabling on outside of house, following track of previously existing coax, which would be removed. It would go into garage to connect to POE switch, hook...

Thanks for that. I have been studying the cliff notes and think I know how to proceed. I just don't feel comfortable running cables through walls, so I have an appointment with a guy that installs security cameras this afternoon. I'll show him where I want cameras, where I want to put the POE...

Thanks for the response. I am using Blue Iris to record my current wifi cameras. I am very unfamiliar with POE cameras so it sounds like I will have to do some more research on how to properly set up that kind of system. Right now I have four wifi cameras; two in the house and two outside (one...

I currently have Foscam and Amcrest wifi IP cams and I'm looking to replace them one at a time, starting with the Foscam FI9804P that is currently monitoring my driveway. I've been browsing the forum and reading the cliff notes and it seems that Dahua 2mp starlight would be a good bet. Are...
