Yeah I can see on mine that the size of the mount will make it useful for hiding the connection, so great for that. I've considered that vendor but they don't have the 3mp 4300S dome I'm looking for. Plus there's a vendor near me that gives a three year warranty and is only 30 bucks more per camera than ali. That extra 30 per camera isn't all that much considering the long warranty and actual customer support locally. Don't think I'll be choosing ali after all. Nice savings, but one bad camera makes it a hassle I'd rather not dick around with. I'm ordering a lot of five. Do post pics from the 2.8 and 3.6. Thanks.
