    Running cabling "out" through vinyl siding, and up the exterior for mounting location // Street view location

    OK. I have a IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 that I'm going to use for LPR. Focused tighter to the road, and set up to grab plates at night. I believe best practice is to have a second camera set up to have an overall view of the area. That's why I had to re-think everything while I was in the store. I think...

    Man I just put everything back and walked out. I need to think this through better...got a little overwhelmed not having a plan...regrouping.

    Running cabling "out" through vinyl siding, and up the exterior for mounting location // Street view location

    I am happy to run 1/2" but I thought I would need 3/4" for easier pulling. Not like it's a long run anyways. Fingers they only have 100 ft roll of half inch non-metallic tubing, not the 25'. Hole in the bottom of the PFA is also 3/4", I'll have to see if they make an adapter.

    Man I'm sitting at home Depot right now going crazy trying to piece this together. Almost have everything I want but I would need a 3/4 inch pvc female threaded adapter to connect a liquid tight to the PVC pipe and they don't have any. Going to read and think here.

    So you are screwing the LB directly on top of the vinyl siding and just squishing that down?

    Running cabling "out" through vinyl siding, and up the exterior for mounting location // Street view location

    Good info! I need to rethink part of my plan. I was under the impression that I was going to use all PVC and a plastic LB, but a plastic LB does not have threaded openings. My thought was to use a foot or so of Liquidtite on the top and bottom end of the vertical PVC run so that I can keep it...

    Running cabling "out" through vinyl siding, and up the exterior for mounting location // Street view location

    I think for this I am going to run my Cat6 inside some 3/4" PVC and Liquidtite up next to the downspout and run it in. I like the idea of outdoor cable, but I already have this Cat6 and don't want to drop the extra money on more cable at this point. I'll be using a PFA121 mounting box for the...

    Mounting question for IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 on PFA121

    I plan to use a vinyl siding plate adapter to mount the PFA121 box, with the IPC-HFW5431EP-Z5 attached to that. Box is setup nice with blind mounting holes that don't allow water in. There is also a rubber gasket that goes around the edge that is not there in the picture. Grommet has a split...

    Running cabling "out" through vinyl siding, and up the exterior for mounting location // Street view location

    Yeah my eaves are way way too high. I do have a 2" conduit running from the basement up to the attic, however the 18"+ of blown-in insulation will make maneuvering up there a nightmare. I believe (and you'll all correct me if I'm wrong) that this height will give me a good reading of...
