Best mounting options on Dutch lap siding

[GKyle840]

I am trying to figure out the best way to mount my dahua HDW5231R-ZE on Dutch lap siding without cutting too big of a hole. The only sturdy option I have found requires cutting a 4" square hole in the siding.

or just screw the junction box to the siding, no need to cut a 4" hole

The only mounting blocks I found for Dutch lap are very similar to what's on amazon but the are very thin walled and dont seem like they would support much. I ordered on from amazon that was about twice as much and we will see how it turns out. Thanks.
