Grabbed a little bit more time to plan this setup some more on the weekend in between lumping engines around the country

Having seen another setup similar to mine that has been installed on another house on the estate I have found that you can buy bases for the cameras to sit on rather than having the cameras mounted directly to the wall.

These help to store the cables in the recess behind so that you only have to run the thinner RG59 cable through the wall rather than running the camera loom through the wall as it is a very short cable and some houses may have walls too thick to get it to come through from the outside.

They also give the original camera a lot better appearance in my eyes, I spec'd the system white deliberately so they stood out against the brickwork on the house, a visual deterrent is the best deterrent.

Lastly, because they are a few inches thick they space the camera from the wall giving a much better angle than can be gained from mounting directly to the wall and allowing a much better range of movement.

I have brought 5 of these as they were a cheap set bundled new on eBay, new you are looking to pay £21 each but my 5 worked out at £14 a piece

I've decided I'll only be using 3 though as the 4th camera that will be going on the side of the house above the apex of the garage which will have the best view of the street and an arm will be going up so I have the option of upgrading to a motorised one in the future that you can control live via the app on the phone or at a web page

Here's the arm I've ordered
