On my garage eyebrow i have 2 boxes put in for camera mounts. They are standard ceiling light boxes. What is the best way to mount the starlight cams to them? Is there a mount kit or do i need to fab my own kit for it?

Hi @gto-guy

You'll need to fab your own if you're not using a Dahua designed mount for those cameras.

It would help to see a picture of what you're trying to mount to.

Use a strip of aluminum and make a strap. Drill holes to line up with existing two holes on metal box and attach. Then line up camera base with strap and use self tapping screws to mount to strap. Seal camera base with caulking. You can purchase aluminum strips from Lowes or HD.
