I have a IPC-HDW5231R-ZE camera mounted on an external side wall of my property.
The camera is mounted over the hole in the wall where the cable exits.
I want to lower the height of the camera as its currently at 10ft high and bringing it down to 6ft high should get better face shots.
The wall is brick and painted in white render.
What is the recommended way to handle the relocation?

Put the cable in some tubing, affix box to wall then camera on box?

cheers

Not an expert but trunking would seem the sensible option unless you can redo the new hole where you want it through the wall as before but lower?

I see you are in the UK like me :) Pop into your local ScrewFix or ToolStation, they stock plastic trunking in all shapes and sizes, hopefully they should be able to help and advise. As I said I'm not an expert but you'd somehow need to make where the cable exits waterproof and you will need a junction box at the other end on which to mount the cam. Take the cam with you so that you can see if any of the junction boxes will fit/work.
