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

    Essentially this is the new plan...not to scale exactly.

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

    The junction box is threaded if that's what you're asking...not an unthreaded hole requiring the nut on the other side.

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

    OK. As expected, the junction box will sit flat against the vinyl siding mounting block. Trying to come straight out of this junction box with liquid tight is a no-go, because the connector sticks out further than the back of the junction box (left side in this picture). This is due to...

    Sorry. I got swarmed with ads trying to work this site in the aisle and got frustrated lol. I'll post more soon

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

    I stand here again in this aisle, now holding a junction box. The problem is that the holes are towards the very back of the box, so the liquid tight connectors extend beyond the back edge of the box making them impossible to put on. I would need to space this box away from the vinyl siding...

    I'll add to that, I think what bothers me especially is that the ads are unrelated to the site. Even worse, on a site where we are preaching security, we are getting ads and pop-ups trying to trick us into downloading malware/chrome extensions. It's a bad look.

    Best use for IPC-HDW5831RP-ZE cameras // Will it be OK in conjunction for "overall" view dedicated LPR camera?

    I mean, if it's the wrong camera for the job I will put them in my garage or basement and pick up something that is appropriate...I'll look at the 5442 offerings. Any model or option specificially to look out for?

    IPVM Alternative cctv design tool

    Man. I forgot IPVM went ballistic with their pricing and effectively removed access to their tool, even for single camera use. Thanks for the 7 seconds of usage!

    I come and go from the forum when I need help. I'm a user like that haha. Just too many things going on in life to stick around full-time unfortunately. I will say the ads are killing me...especially on mobile. Might have to upgrade just to get rid of those! LOL.

    Best use for IPC-HDW5831RP-ZE cameras // Will it be OK in conjunction for "overall" view dedicated LPR camera?

    Yeah the ambient light is pretty much limited to who has their porch or lamp post lights on at any given time. :lol: No street lamps.

    Best use for IPC-HDW5831RP-ZE cameras // Will it be OK in conjunction for "overall" view dedicated LPR camera?

    Bought them a few years ago, I can't remember now where I was going to put them. I have the IPC-HDW5231R-Z on my front porch, the trusty ole 2MP Starlight camera, so I am a believer that you don't need high MP to have a good image. I am wondering if I can put one of these IPC-HDW5831RP-ZE on...

    OMG Thermal!

    What would be great is if there were a script that marked the location of the hot steaming piles and added them onto a map for the kids to go out and pick up. As they pick it up, they can use an iPad to drag the doo-doo to a trashcan on the map so we know it's all picked up before we mow! :lol...

    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...

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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...
