I have a two story home, and I'm thinking about going with the
IQvision IQ853 (5 megapixel cameras) for home security cameras. I
want to cover all four sides of my home with four cameras (I might
need six). That seems easy, but when I look at the angles and where I
can mount heavy security cameras, I am now focused on researching what
type of poles I can install around the perimeter of my home to mount
cameras on.
I can get some 21 foot schedule 40 galvanized pipes, but I want to
first research whether or not there is a better type of pole to
purchase. I want these cameras at least 15 feet from the ground to
minimize vandalism, and I want to put a plate over the top of the
poles to shield the cameras from direct sunlight and rain. I know
they are outdoor cameras, but I want to maximize their lifespan given
how expensive they are.
Does anyone have any suggestion for what types of poles I should, or
can, mount the security cameras to?

what you have to be sure is that the pole wont move...
any picture taken from a waving pole is totally useless
