I only have 1 option to mount this turret vertically, and was wondering is that okay? or I would need some kind of 'vertical adapter' type to mount it? And if it can mount vertically, do I need anything else beside the camera to mount it? thanks for the help.

Yes you can rotate the bezel to get the slot whichever way you need it and the camera inside the bezel to get it level.

It's simple to mount the cam to the wall bracket. A couple of screws attach it so it hangs off the L.

Nice pict, I like it, thanks. One more thing, is this a right camera to monitor front of my garage which is 30' wide x 50' long (to the street) and still see the license plate at 50' mark?

Mine are mounted vertically with no issues. It works great for monitoring my driveway, but with the way I have the zoom set I can't pick up a license plate 50' away.

Nice pics!All cams surely can hang directly, just make the installation little harder than the brackets, drill on the way not too easy.

You need to dedicate a cam for LPR reading, see the LPR subject area.

Here’s a pic of a custom mount I made out of the composite material you can buy at a Home Depot. Camera mounted vertically with the PFB203W mount.

I have used two different mounting boxes for the HDW5231R-ZE cameras. The cameras covering my driveway hanging from the soffit were mounted using the PFA130-E, while the cameras in my back yard were mounted using the PFA122 boxes.

Since I did this install in stages, I started with the driveway and did the back yard months later, purchasing items at separate times.

The driveway cameras using the PFA130-E boxes are not very high off the ground and a normal height step ladder was used. You have to attach the camera wires prior to installing the box cover, then get the rubber grommet installed around the wire. Then install the camera ring to the cover, then install the camera and lock it to the ring. It was a difficult time to do this for me on a ladder but I did it twice. The install is clean and secure. One needs to use the tool to remove the ring to get the camera out. It would have been easier if I had three arms.

On the back yard installs, I chose the PFA122 boxes. I had to use a much taller ladder and decided the easier mounting of this box was worth a try. The difference is that you can mount the camera ring to the box cover while on the ground, threading the wire through the rubber grommet and attaching the camera and locking it in the ring at that time. Then you just plug in the wire and put the assembled box cover with camera onto the box. The drawback is the box cover screws are exposed for the taking.DSC_4468.JPGInkedDRRT.I.jpgDSC_4480.JPGBack Yard NW Corner 2019-2-27 12.41.15.302 PM.jpg
