There are some dedicate camera junction boxes here for all brands, also post a review after you get it all up and running I was looking at updating mine to that model you have. |
Update.
I installed the cameras by screwing them to a metal plate, then screwing the metal plate to the junction box. At first I was worried that they wouldn't be secure enough, but the camera is better secured to the plate than the junction box is to the actual house. I suppose somebody can lasso the camera and yank it down compared to a dome camera, but I didn't think of that till now. And who walks around with a lasso?
I used these plates:

The cameras themselves are awesome. Crystal clear 4K 30fps. The NVR interface & app kinda suck, but are usable and reliable. I also have a 2k Lorex doorbell that uses a different app that appears to be more "consumer grade" so it's nicer to use.
All in all, really happy. I think I just need to fiddle with some camera settings because when my porch light is on at night, the camera can't make heads or tails out of auto-switching to night-mode or not.
