Another bird house thread

I was in need of a close up front door cam, mounted low for facial recognition. I had a spare Dahua 5231RP-Z turret lying around and bought an Amazon cedar bird house. The bird hole opening was the exact size of the camera lens, so I just had to drill our the IR LED holes and a small mic hole. I mounted it upside down, so the IR LEDs were on top. I hogged out the back side of the front panel with a router, so the camera would hold with a compression fit w/o glue. I will see how that goes as the temperatures swing. This is a temporary sitting position on the rock and will make a wooden post mount and position it for the best view. Will probably stain it the same color of house to blend in better. I have to be careful because I have another cam looking at the front door and do not want IR staring at each other at night. I was actually quite happy how this Amazon bird house fit the cam well. Now I might have to buy another bird house for the birds. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HPMBN4B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
