Mounting in Engineered Wood Soffit?

[ChappyEight]

Has anyone ever mounted a bullet cam to an engineered wood soffit like LP SmartSide? This is the material used for both trim and soffits at my home. I have a bullet camera with a Dahua aluminum junction box ready to go, but I can't decide if I should try to mount it to the soffit or mount it to the side of the house just below the soffit.

Thanks in advance for the help.

My neighbor mounted all of his cameras including a PTZ to that and has had zero problems.
