Different question. This thread has perfect timing for me personally as I am installing a system but my question is about camera installation.
My home is a bugger to get to the eaves from the attic and the house is brick construction.
Are you guys comfortable with mounting cameras directly to the brick on the side of the house and drilling through the brick for wiring to the inside?
Do you have rain gutters/downspouts? I ran cat5 in 1/2 pvc electrical tubing spray painted the same color as the downspout and ran it against the brick and downspout to the ground. (It blends in really well, believe it or not.) I just run the cat5 slightly buried along the house to an enclosed POE switch, then into the house thru along side air conditioner tubes. (It's definately not secure but Blue Iris should at least show them doing it!)
