About: Details on the internal camera mounted on Jan 4, 2003. The 6 Infrared L.E.D. lights for this camera needed to be diffused to keep from burning out the appearance of objects in the center of the photos. I did this my placing a piece of plexi-glass over them. The glass is sanded on both sides. The first cieling which the camera is mounted on is hinged and can be ajdusted to improve the camera angle. To adjust it, a tab is moved up or down. This tab is in a vertical slot which has a hinged rain and wind cover. (A GFI outlet and grounding blocks are used but not shown)

Note the entrance extension in the bottom right photo frame. The total entrance depth is now 3 1/8". I read that a 1 1/4" hole size is recommended but in my experience they seem to prefer boxes with a 1 1/2" -to- 2" width entrance for some reason. This one is 1 1/2". The steel portal existed both before and after this work.
