Hello all,
I've got a long narrow driveway i'd like to monitor, maybe 10ft wide and 50ft deep with gate
at the far end. I figured a wide-angle (4mm) cam installed sideways will give me a useful
view, covering 3 windows along the building, a couple cars in the driveway, and the gate
at the back.
I've installed a bullet (Hik 2032) under eaves for a similar view on the back porch, but here
in the driveway, i only have an exposed vertical house wall to attach to (no eaves unless
installed too high for the view i need.)
So my question is whether a sideways-mounted bullet would be safe from the elements
(Northern California weather,) or would a dome be more weatherproof, and if so, can
a dome be mounted sideways (vertically on the wall) to get the view i'd like and still
be weatherproof?
Thanx, Paul.
