This arose from this suggestion by Jon D:

"Another bit of info that would be helpful for those of us who have to install cameras is whether or not they have a whip or an onboard connection. Sometimes you are surface mounting a camera on brick and need to account for the whip. If it is easier to find a camera without a whip (or removable) then it could make our life easier as installers."

What do you think about that? Important to you?

What other camera characteristics would be important to you?

Our goal would be to find a few high priority ones and have them trackable / searchable by our Camera Finder.
