As far as installation, if you are fairly handy, you can do it yourself after some research. I mounted my cameras under the eve of my house. It took me a while to figure out how to remove the soffit without damaging it. From there, I cut a hole in the soffit (noting where the roofing beams came into that area). I then installed some wood in between the roofing beams - to mount the camera to. After installing the camera mounts and the camera, I ran the networking cable through the attic and down into the room where I installed the PoE switch. Each camera took me around 6 hours to install and run the networking cable. This includes many, many, many trips up and down the ladder. My legs were sore....
That's where I am now, looking for tips on how to remove vinyl soffit without damaging it. Any hints??
