g35 mass 0 Posted February 17, 2016 Good day and thank you in advance for any responses. I live in a smaller condo building and following several small crimes I'd like to install CCTV cameras to monitor my car and the yard behind my unit. A few notes: I am on the second floor and my parking space is directly below my window. Below is a pic - My space is the open space on the left and my window is on the left side of the building, middle floor. Directly to the left of the frame is a utility pole with a very bright LED streetlight that illuminates the space - I don't think I'll need any IR lighting from the camera. I am open to (and prefer) a PoE system so I can run fewer wires. I have 2.25" (57mm) between the blinds and the glass on the inside top half of the window. There is an identical window (though it's at ground level due to living on a hill) on the back of the house where I also want to install a camera. If I chose something mounted outside, I want something that is minimally-invasive and can be installed to the window frame/casing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking something like this could easily be installed inside the top half of the window between the glass and the blinds. http://www.amazon.com/Axis-Communications-0519-004-Network-Security/dp/B008KMHJ72/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1455673068&sr=1-1&keywords=axis+m1013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattaggie 0 Posted February 17, 2016 I don't think that camera is POE. Also seems overpriced for a simple cube camera. Im not sure what the picture would look like viewing through the window, but all you could do is try it. Outdoor mounted camera would def be better, but its obviously a little more complicated to install. I'd do an outdoor dome camera mounted underneath the over hang to the right or left of your window.

g35 mass 0 Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks for the reply and suggestion. That camera mounting location isn't an option as I don't have access to that area - I can only access the area around my own unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
