Camera for Shed?

Are you concerned about that area under neath the overhang? Or concerned on the other side of the shed? Or both?
 
Both really. I want to see if somebody walks behind and into the underneath part of the shed.
something tells me...more than 1 camera, especially due to that angle. Can only really see the closest corner....not the other corner.

A 1/4" drill bit and a drill. :) There's a 3/4" hub (threaded opening) on the back and to on the sides, one on the right and one on the bottom (it can be rotated to make that the left and top). I'd suggest Duct Seal for the back hub to keep the seal as watertight as possible.

OK,I think I got it. The 1/4 is for the network cable and then it connects to the Camera inside the junction box?
 
Correctamundo as McMahon used to say.

Out of curiosity, how are you planning on getting a network connection out to the shed? How far is it from you house/NVR/Blue Iris machine?

That's the one. Flexible, never really hardens and can be easily removed, and be reused, when necessary.

Good move with the Nano stations! I looked at the first post and didn't see anything. Should have scrolled a little more slowly back down.
 
@wittaj How's that camera do in real low light? Does it need auxiliary IR? I suspect the area here is totally dark other than moon/starlight.
 
I have one on the side of the house that has zero light and it does surprisingly well. But I am using it more as overview cams as well.

Obviously it suffers from the same limitations of any 2.8mm or 3.6mm and distances to IDENTIFY, so as long as you aren't expecting it to ID someone 40 feet away but more in the 10-15 range, it does well.

The IR on it seems to be more hotspot focused than my other cams, so if you want to see far and wide you might need some auxiliary or slow the shutter down.

I use 1/8x2" aluminum fat stock with pop riveted "wings" for turrets or bullets to mount them.

If you do mount to siding, use something like this -
Lowes or Home Depot should have them as well.
I was about to order the block and then noticed that my siding looks different than the picture. The shed has a bevel at the top of the siding that looks like this in the second picture......Block
Seems to be whats called a Dutch Lap block. Is this what I need?

That looks like it'll work with your siding. Just measure the setback to make sure. Worst case, if it doesn't fit, you can send it back to Amazon.
