What is the best way to drill a hole on stucco finished homes? Planning to mount a camera above garage door there is a plywood behind stucco. I took pictures before house was finished so i have basic idea what is behind the walls. Here are the pics

First use a masonry bit and drill through the layer of stucco. Then switch to a paddle bit to get through the wood. Sometimes you may drill right were a stud is, if this happens just adjust your angle to the left or right. I always drill on a upward angle to prevent water from getting though. To secure the camera you can use tapcons (mason screw). Or pre drill through the stucco and use a wood screw.
