Thanks Rocky. I'll have to look more closely at their product line and maybe
even a phone call. At first glance I didn't see anything for mounting a
bullet camera or a little bit bigger box that would hold the cable,
connectors and a balun and I'm still wondering about how to keep this all
looking nice mounting it on the uneven surface of the brickface. What the
problem with the box is...... the strain relief on the connector end of the
camera cables is so thick that the cables bend radius added to the length of
the connectors and balun requires a larger box. At least 4 x 4. Then I also
need an 1/2 or 3/4 inch hole in the box for a watertight fitting.

Anyway, thanks for the lead. I'll be following up.

If anyone eles has any more suggestions ......... ? Especially with the
mounting of the camera on the uneven surface of the brickface.



Jim,

Tough problem.  Not going to be easy but if you can chisel and/or grind off
a flat spot on your rough surface large enough for your 4x4 box to sit flat
on top of your penetration hole in the wall.  Plastic box can be painted to
best match the wall color but you need to use the right paint.  Be sure to
caulk well around the box against the box.

Good luck.
