I have a limited choice for mounting my front door camera.

It is as high as possible in the corner.

Would you recommend a 2.8, 3.6 or 6 for this application? Thanks

I'd use a 2.8mm dual lens camera. One lens to watch/capture faces and the other pointed down to watch for packages.

I concur with @sebastiantombs - dual lens.. also I'd move it to face level by the door, looks like you can run the cable down along the screen frame - then I would use a junction box - screw into the mortar ( easier to fix later than holes in the bricks imho )

see diagram of what i would try..
