space generous cctv dome cams

[J.C.E]

I recently installed 3 of these: HD-IP 4MP mini Bullet Camera (4MP, IR 15m, POE) - http://www.digitaldirectsecurity.co.uk/index.php?target=products&product_id=1291

however they come with quite bulk poe injectors- but no room in the base of the cam to hide it in. the cams where installed onto brick- so no voids to hide it in.

so had to result in fixing ugly surface boxes

any links for good quality gear where the cabling fits in the cam base??

cheers

Are you installing the POE injectors at the camera location?
Can't you install them at the system end? or use a POE Switch, if the CCTV systems doesn't have POE outputs on the internal network switch.
(or have I miss understood what you're trying to achieve?)

the cams in the link in original post- had a bulky 'poe' connection attached to the rear of the cam that my cat5 plugged into- it was too big to just be hidden in the cam base so I had to hide in a surface box with the camera screw on top

I am after a kit that that doesn't have this problem and I can screw the cam direct to the brick with the cat5 entering from the rear.

Mmm... that seems to defeat the object of POE (which normally reduces the need for power supply at the camera position)
I saw the spec. mentions "power supply - DC 12v or built in POE" so I'd assumed from that description that the network lead would carry the power unless you hadn't got POE and had to mount the DC power supply locally.
The last one's I installed had two short cables, one for the network (& POE) and the other for the optional 12v.
But they were "bullet" cameras not domes.
