Paint my LPR Camera or no?

[DanDenver]

looks like a large branch was cut off just above the camera, could you 'top' that a little to create a flat shelf like area? It would put the camera just a few feet higher, but would keep it more out of site from pedestrian traffic as you could slide it back on the 'shelf' a little bit. Then it might not matter so much what color it is

There’s an advantage to the public knowing they are on camera. I know in many cases it deters crimes of opportunity. But my LPR I want to be discreet. I painted mine so it didn’t stick out like a sore thumb.

I think in your case blending in to prevent vandalism as well would be a good idea. I just removed by covers to paint solo and masked the rest

Yeahhh I bought the wrong junction box and didn’t want to wait for the correct one. Shrug.

A drill, a tap set, and you're good to go. If I remember correctly, an 8-32 screw is the biggest that will fit.

Add one of these and you can pop a camera right on that bad boy LOL

I just found out about these a couple months ago and it worked like a charm. This could have saved me so much attic time last year.

or self tapping sheet metal screws to make the hole then a slightly longer screw (galvanized) and skip the tapping. option c.

You need a drip loop on the cables that are entering the right side of the box.

A drip loop would be a great idea, One of my guys installed it. the glands that the cable goes through is sealed really well and there is a shitload of silicone on it so it shouldnt be much of a issue. later this summer the system will be swapped out for a IP system. all cable will be underground. This is installed at a landscaping company and the owner will trench everything. also adding more cameras. at this point He has 38 cameras. I guess he is paranoid someone will steal a load of mulch!

He's probably had equipment stolen i would guess. I've worked for one in 2014 and there is a lot of money wrapped up in dump trucks, plow trucks, back hoes, trailers, bobcats. etc...
