Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)
Edit: Was re-reading (again) the OP initial post and found this. Is this correct or another vendor?
Sorry to side-track; what is Andy's store name? I tried the camera name and "EMPIRETECANDY" on AliExpress with no success.
Again sorry for the n00b question here.

Why isn't the above post that links directly to camera not available from this store? This is all rather confusing.

I believe they have multiple store fronts; Andy maintains his own and I did not originally buy mine from Andy's.. I think I got it from another sales person's store at same company because it was the only listing at the time..
Andy's the one offering discounts for members, providing me with samples to test/compare, and been providing customer service on the forums here so I'd urge you to use his store front as possible as he deserves the sales for his contributions here.. We've had alot of AliExpress vendors come on here before; but few have been as useful as @EMPIRETECANDY and he hasn't tried to spam us in the least..
I like that his free shipping is DHL and not ePacket; so take that into consideration when comparing prices from other vendors.

Thank you
As in drill the grout to create a "ditch" to travel the cable underneath the base and then crimp on the end? The cable has already been run from the area where the switch is in the house to a hole at the front of the house where the cable has been pulled out from but the camera won't be going where the hole is, it will be about 3 metres to one side, hence my question about how the cable connects into the camera.

no; as you can see on the mount it has a passthrough cutout if you need to run the cabling out externally.. the drilling through was my suggestion if you can punch a hole through the maisonry work directly behind the mount.
if you have to passthrough the brick work at another point from the cameras location, then mount to junction box then run 1/2" EMT conduit to the point where you can break through to inside and hold it in place with a couple conduit straps anchored down also into the mortar.. the conduit can be painted to match your brickwork and bent into all sorts of shapes with a conduit bender.

OK so I do need to buy the junction box for this camera which is the main thing I wanted to figure out. Thanks for all the explanations here and apologies for being a bit dim about it!

I would wager that @EMPIRETECANDY can get his hands on the junction box if he dont already have em in stock.. would be worth inquiring about to see if you can get it all shipped in the same package since he uses DHL.

I have a junction box for a Hikvision turret and it works great to get that ethernet "pigtail" out of sight. It is nice sealed off from the weather outside. Is in gneral prepared take out part in the side for conduit.
My solution will be a piece of conduit through the brick wall and into a PFB203W mount. But the challenge there is to get this conduit out the wall on the good spot. That is a one possibility during constuction.
As i have some house drawings, i will place them in other thread for discussion.

Same here tygger...I've been in line for 2 weeks
I am mounting this on the exterior wall of a pretty standard stucco house, perhaps on vertical wall, maybe horizontal, hanging. Either way, just need ethernet cable for data/power. Would I need any additional hardware to accomplish this?

mebe some silicon to seal off the hole in your stucco.. its the easiest to repair of all the finishes so most people dont mind putting a 3/4in hole through it to feed the whole plug into the wall with.. just be careful not to hit a stud.
if for some reason you wanted to delete that camera, just leave the cable in place and patch/paint up the hole.. much like sheetrock.
