RichTJ99 0 Posted January 15, 2006 I am looking for a camera mount that will let me mount a camera on the side of a house. I see lots of brackets, are there certain brands that are best? Other factors to consider when buying a bracket? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 15, 2006 what type of camera is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichTJ99 0 Posted January 15, 2006 sorry, its a bullet type camera, for outdoor usage. This is the one I have right now but I am going to buy a few other cameras as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5854108497 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 15, 2006 Doesnt it have a mount already? all bullet cameras do ... If not, its going to be tough finding a threaded mount to fit those .. or you can buy a regular camera housing with mount and stick in that somehow. arghh, just checked, its a Chinese OEM bullet .. looks like a COP-USA camera ..

CMServices 0 Posted January 15, 2006 Most bullet type cameras use the same type/size mounting hole any good outdoor stlye mount should work out just fine for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted January 16, 2006 Actually the threads dont match throughout brands, like Eclipse Bullet camera mounts dont fit in Provideo Bullets, while some do, there are all different sizes of bullet cameras and mounts for them. The one in the image you can probably use a mount from another brand like Mace for example as it looks identical, probably any chinese bullet for that matter .. doesnt mean it wont be hard to find though, a Camera mount is typically much bigger for box cameras than for bullets.

RichTJ99 0 Posted January 16, 2006 The camera has a mounting bracket on the top & bottom as it turns out. I am not sure that is the same camera, the one I have is supposed to be a 1/3 ccd. Is there any way to check the size of the CCD? (Who knows when dealing with ebay of course Is the sunscreen important when considering a bullet camera? I am getting some sort of lag using a 58 cable (I didnt have a 59 handy) which is about 50 feet long. I am getting a slight delay as well. The system is a 3ghz asus p4pe mobo with a nvidia 5700 ultra, 1 gig of ram, etc. I would think that with only 1 camera in the system it would be smooth. http://www2.cop-usa.com/ebproductdetail.asp?id=455 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 16, 2006 the sunshield basically works a little bit to stop overhead sun from hitting the lens, otherwise if the sun is low like in winter and the camera is pointed in that direction it makes no diference, and only makes a little difference the rest of the year. Its nice to have for cosmetic reasons though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kandcorp 0 Posted January 16, 2006 A slight delay is always expected when using a PC DVR. But differs between hardware/ software setups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
