Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

they are currently out of stock
 
I'm finally healed up enough that I can start thinking about running the wiring for my cameras!

I'm planning to mount one to the front of the garage; I think a hole in the stucco large enough to pass cat-6 would be enough, then I can just mount the camera bracket directly to the wall. I see some mentioning they've tucked all the wiring behind the camera; curious if that is with the waterproof ethernet connector installed?

I've got a couple spots to mount where I need to surface mount on a stucco wall and run conduit up to the soffit area.
I'm thinking either a PFA139. Does anyone the size of the holes? 1/2" standard electrical fittings?
Other option would be a PFB204W if it has provision for connection of conduit; any comments here?
No conduit connection on PFB204W

You'll want to get the region associated with where you are, no question about it--I still have an analog tv and monitor on my end. Choice matter!

Tried to buy this camera from Empire store (Aliexpress.com : Buy DAHUA 2.7mm ~12mm motorized lens 2MP WDR IR Eyeball Network Camera IPC HDW5231R Z ,free DHL shipping from Reliable network camera suppliers on Empire Technology Co., Ltd) but selecting "PAL" signal system is not available, and without it can't place an order, due to error message "Please select a Signal System". Is anyone experiencing the same?

Cat5, 5e, 6, etc...will all work for the camera.
 
No conduit connection on PFB204W
I figured that was likely the case thanks.
You need a PFA137 if you plan on mounting this camera using a junction box.



Yes, as per the datasheet.
Sounds like that's the way to go. I had hoped I could find a regular junction box at Home Depot that would work but there is nothing suitable. The screws on the cover for all of them line up perfectly with the outer rim of the camera.

I suppose I could machine a cover that works but that's already getting to be more hassle than just ordering the junctions.

It all comes down to how much your time is worth. You would be hard pressed to beat the price Andy sells them for.
I will definitely get some for sure. There are a few spots they'll be perfect for.

I want to hang a couple of the cameras under the roof overhang at the side of the house. Since I plan to use two cameras back to back to cover that area I may jsut make a back to back junction box so I can hang both cameras in that location.
