Mounting a Turret Camera

[Mike Baglini]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have a 10" diameter pole with a flat top that I'd like to mount a turret camera flat on the top of the pole, with the camera completely rotated, and even a small wedge under the camera to get the angle I want. Any concerns about being exposed to the rain? The rest of my turrets will be under the house soffit protected.

I'm not sure what you mean by "camera completely rotated", but you might consider using a pole clamp mount and the camera angle can be adjusted without requiring a wedge. The weather resistance will depend on specific camera ratings set by the manufacturer.

Security Camera IP and IK Ratings Explained: Weatherproof and Vandal-Resistant Security Cameras

An IP rating is a measurable standard that tells us how protected a security camera is from its environment, both in terms of solids and liquids. The IK rating, on the other hand, is a measurement of how much impact a camera can take.

I do not think you will have a problem as long as the RJ-45 connection is waterproofed such as using dielectric grease.

Or some combination of those two items made for your camera.
