I finished the repairing the drywall in the dogs' room, and figured I'd do something different. I had my Amcrest ptz sitting on a table, but thought I would build a little shelf/box into the wall. It's a smaller room and the dogs kept banging into the table, moving the zero position of the camera. Plus it frees up a little floor space.

I built a small box of wood, stained it, and screwed it to the side of a stud. Then I patched the drywall around it and filled the front edge of the box to give it a recessed look. There is a hole in the bottom rear where the cat6 comes in. The camera sticks out the front a bit, but this is as deep as I could make the box. The back wall of the box is actually thin panelling.

I'm not a drywall guy, but am pretty happy with how it turned out. I will go back and touch up a couple of imperfections in the drywall that I noticed once the paint dried.
