Round deep surface mounting box for DH-SD52C225U-HNI PTZ Camera?

[Starglow]

Hi Guys....I'm considering the Dahua DH-SD52C225U-HNI PTZ camera for the front outside area of my home. However, it is a flush mount camera and I'd rather use a round surface mount box instead but can't find any that are deep enough. The camera would mount horizontal on an overhang above the front door. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated....!

Here's a link to the specific camera specs for reference....

You might want to look at different cameras that are more designed to mount the way you need. Pretty sure that one is intended to be placed up inside an open space (like in a ceiling or eave of a roof if you have the depth). That one needs a monster hole like 7 inches across and 3 inches deep!

I concur w/crw030: "You might want to look at different cameras that are more designed to mount the way you need.

@Starglow ,
@bluestreak was working on this same issue this past September; maybe he has valuable input for you.

Thanks guys...! I want a PTZ with auto tracking but not a huge hornet's nest looking thing. I also can't do a side wall mount which most of them are.
