What's the best camera type for an exterior wall that covers front door walk up?

Now I think I have to brick-mount it because the Dahua dome model I want is 6.25 inches in circumference and that wood corner area between the window and brick is only 4.xx inches. Grrrr.

should be ok...only one way to find out...you dont have to mount it to a single brick..
I'm gonna use a wall mount bracket so it will fit perfectly over that window area.
Well you were right about thin. Holy cow! It wasn't about signal degradation in my case because I was never able to connect the damn thing. See I had to cut one end off the flat cable (big mistake) to get it though the hole in the floor and when I tried to terminate it, it was im...freakin...possible to separate the twisted pairs as the wires were as thin as the thinning hairs on my head. Also trying to get the wires separated from the flat jacket material was just as infuriating. So, ordered regular cat6 and just re-drilled the holes to 5/8s so I can run the wire from the camera to the POE switch without having to terminate anything. I know how to do it with normal cat but just don't want to mess with it now.
Yeah, when it comes to flat cable, only the flat, modular 4 conductor phone lines (ring and tip, 1 pair) should be allowed to be sold and that for analog voice frequency only.
