Great report!

Unless you're really good with a caulk gun, I'd recommend butyl tape instead at outdoor camera connection points like where the sunshield connects to the wall arm or pendant, just looks neater. Over time silicone starts to look dirty. Some camera manufacturers also include a little "boot" to cover the joint after you tape it. You definitely don't want this!

Great piece John!
Thank you

I noticed you silicon sealing entirely around the mount, I was taught you should leave the bottom unsealed to allow for drainage if there is water intrusion, Any thoughts?

I've always seen older camera installs on exterior walls with a box, and a flex conduit to the camera. We don't do it this way, but it seems like a good way to avoid water intrusion.

All of our exterior cameras use silicon, gaskets, grommets, and cable glands. I tend to leave a small portion at the bottom of the backbox un-siliconed to allow for any potential water that may become entrapped in the backbox. So far, I haven't experienced many issues withwater damage, and I think using cable glands and caulking the cable penetration holes will keep dust/insects from getting to the connections or in the building and allow protection for any potential water that does enter the box.

I've found one way to prevent or minimize blowouts in concrete is to switch the hammer drill from rotary+impact to rotary only for the final bit of drilling, and literally scrape the material away with the carbide tip of the bit. This requires that you know the thickness of the wall and measure it as you drill, and be mindful of how much pressure you're putting on it.
