Getting the hang of it
In case anyone want to flush mount the newer 4MP DS-2CD3345-I turret cameras on a flat wall with the Ethernet cable coming out of the base along the wall (i.e. no wall wiring through hole behind the camera). In my case I have one camera mounted on brick with the Ethernet cable running along the outside of the brick to the camera.
The 3345 uses a new all plastic mounting base that does NOT have enough room behind it to tuck in and hide the camera's connectors nor does the vanity ring have a cutout for the Ethernet cable to escape. The 2332 used an aluminum base that had room for the pigtail to tuck in behind the camera and the a cutout on the vanity ring to allow the Ethernet cable to escape.
I wanted to swap out the 3MP turret for the 4MP. I ended up just swapping out the camera ball and using the older metal base with the new 4MP cam. This worked well.
