After seeing the mailbox camera LPR thread, I had a thought to design a property marker post LPR installation at the end of the driveway using a varifocal turret camera hidden in a vinyl fence post designed to look like a number marker post.

Camera is a used Empire tech IPC-T54IR-ZE that I acquired from eBay for $30 that someone painted black (and did a cheap paint job). I've only started the project so there's still much to do. The camera body will be sandwiched between two plates and stand-offs with screws to lock it in place. They'll be about 15 to 20 degrees of adjustment in 360 degrees.

Attached are the beginning plan and photos of what is done so far. First is the drawing, next is the post and last is the front plate with camera placed behind, which slides into the post. Still need to make the back plate and standoffs to mount the camera
