I'm drilling a hole through the wall that the camera will be mounted to. How big of a hole do need to make to get the wire to fit through it?

Thanks for checking with us. First, we would like to emphasize that the most typical installation would not have any holes through the wall, as the camera would be used wireless (Wifi) and power would be provided by the included AC adapter plugged into an outdoor power outlet that is within 10 - 12 ft of the camera location, with a weatherproof cover for your AC outlet. So in this most common scenario, everything is outside, with no holes drilled in the wall and nothing inside. Next, if you choose to keep the AC adapter inside, you'd need only a really tiny hole to feed the very thin AC adapter wire through the hole. Another possibility is to skip the AC adapter and use a Cat5e wire and power the camera using PoE (power over Ethernet), if you have a PoE injector such as the $30 Dlink DWL-P200 or similar. In this case, the size of the hole for the wire depends on whether you are using Cat5e wire with connectors already on it, in which case the hole has to be big enough to accommodate the connector, or if you will add your own network connector to the Cat5e wire, in which case the hole just has to accommodate the network cable, which can be very thin depending on what type you get, for example 1 / 4". Finally, there is a fourth method that you can choose for mounting, and that is with the camera outside and the connection box inside, and in that case the hole would need to be 3 / 4" in order to accommodate the connector for the cable from the camera to the connection box. Again we would like to emphasize that you can choose your mounting method based on your requirements, and by far the most common way to use the camera would require no drilling through the wall at all. All these comments and answers also apply to our less expensive SCNC3805 model, which has 1280 x 720 resolution and is otherwise identical to this camera.

I think you'll need wire as the plus and minus protrude maybe 1/2 inch if memory serves me right!

You may have to drill a hole behind the license plate for the wiring to and from from the camera.

There are no holes for this purpose but it is possible though you may interfere with the wires that you run through the steel frame. Depending on how many cables you plan to run it may get a bit cramped when you drill a hole through it and then try to thread an HDMI cable through afterwards. Maybe you can attach an anchor to the wall and strap the mount to it using multiple heavy duty nylon ties. You may be better off buying a wall mount bracket if you're going to do any drilling.

depends on how close ya get to the water from end to end 50' feet so I would say at least 45' feet or so. but put a sealer around the camera head where the wire goes in it cause it didn't hurt it but water got into it and I couldn't see nothing so.

The little tiny end goes into the camera behind the rubber tab on the lower right hand outside of camera. You pull or lift the rubber tab gently and it reveals a slot that you can then insert cable end into. The other end goes into the wall:-))))

There are two opposing holes through the base of the unit. The camera is positioned low inside the housing so the 'top side' is flat and will mount flush to the ceiling. I drilled a 3/4" hole through the ceiling to hide the wires. You could install a round electrical box which would provide mounting and hide the wires.

Hi We thank you for the question, and the information is what is provided by the manufacture.Mounting Depth: 3.25''Cut-out Size: Φ182 mmOverall diameter: 245 mmThank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

You can hard wire it but still need the power adapter. Power adapter is 2.8" x 1.8" x 0.8". Mounting on a regular ceiling maybe difficult if you do not have any space for the power supply above the camera. If you are replacing an existing smoke detector, you can have an electrician connect the power supply to the existing 110V and connect the camera.

The wire from the microphone to the connector is 12 inches long - plenty long to reach any jack on your camera even if you use a professional metal camera mounting frame.

I wouldn't run the wires through a screen door.....not sure how you would close the door. You have video and 12VDC power to terminate. You can mount the camera bracket flush on the concrete with appropriate hardware, so that's possible.Also - I ended up returning this camera as the focus was poor throughout the depth of frame. I went with a camera with a manual focus. You might have better luck, it might have been a problem with that camera.Good luck with your install.

I have camera, but it's not fit with the hole, but the person how fix the camera make the hole bigger. I think you should aske the seller for the camera.

A "rough measurement" of mine which is connected to the mounting bracket visible in this picture is about 9". Probably subtract about 1 inch for the mounting bracket, and the around 8" left would be the height of the camera. And, the power and camera signal uses what I regard as standard BNC connectors. The 2 "wires" for the PTZ movement are just wires.

Yes. The camera mount take a few screws to install and all the wiring simply plugs in. If you choose to hide your wires or runs them through walls, installation would be more complicated. But, regular installation should be simple and straightforward. Good luck.

Leave the bottom plate out. Feed the wires from the top through the installed plate/outlet. There should only be 12 to 16 inches between the wall studs so if you cut the hole for the bottom plate, you'll be able to see the wires hanging down in the wall. Fish them through the plate and then install the plate.

The only way I can think of would be with some sort of very, strong glue. Without the bracket the chrome camera box would only have its back side surface for gluing to the vehicle. You would also have to drill a pretty good size hole though the vehicle's mounting surface to feed its wires through as they do not detach from the camera itself. Its not just a small wire but also a larger RCA plug size section that would need to be fed through the hole. Final recommendation: I'd look for another camera...maybe one that mounts inside of the vehicle and just has a small peephole drilled for the camera to see through.

You need an SMA female to female adapter, if your camera wire has a pin in the center of the connector. If your camera wire has a hole in the center of the connecter you need an SMA male to female adapter. Only other option is to cut and splice the two together. .. not recommended as you have a greater chance of making a short.
