digital security cameras installation - exterior around home

[franzbrown@xxxxxxxxx]

I have a two story home, and I'm thinking about going with the
IQvision IQ853.  I want to cover all four sides of my home with four
cameras (I might need six).  That seems easy, but when I look at the
angles and where I can mount heavy security cameras, I am now focused
on researching what type of poles I can install around the perimeter
of my home to mount cameras on.

I can get some 21 foot schedule 40 galvanized pipes, but I want to
first research whether or not there is a better type of pole to
purchase.  I want these cameras at least 15 feet from the ground to
minimize vandalism, and I want to put a plate over the top of the
poles to shield the cameras from direct sunlight and rain.  I know
they are outdoor cameras, but I want to maximize their lifespan given
how expensive they are.

Does anyone have any suggestion for what types of poles I should, or
can, mount the security cameras to?
