  1. Please don't get me wrong, I have no problem drilling holes. It's Just simply matter of personal preference of not wanting to drill unnecessary holes. Besides, If I do drill new holes to mount the new camera, I now have to patch up the existing 4" opening for the J-box. I'm pretty good at soldering on PCB, even working on SMD, but I'm completely clueless when it comes to patching up stucco wall.
  2. Long story short. My house came per-installed with a security camera looking out at the front door. According to all the reading I have done, it's a bullet type camera with adjustable arm to allow aiming at pretty much any direction. The base of the camera is mounted to a round electrical junction box. Since this camera does modulation internally and output the signal direct to RG-6 at channel 69, I don't suppose I can hook that up directly to my new DVR unit that is expecting BNC connection. So, one option is to rip the rip the existing camera apart and by-passes the modulation circuitry. But, why do that I can take advantage of the situation and upgrade it to a color camera. Oh, yes, did I mention the existing camera is none-color? Now, If I'm going to buy a new camera, I would very much prefer the new camera can be mounted to the existing round junction box and have the wire routed via the camera arm. This would mean no holes to drill. So can someone recommend that fits the following criteria - bullet camera - Preferred the exterior of camera to be white or some other light color. I always think black or silver colored camera on light stucco just look too much like a dollar store hack job. - can be mounded directly to a round junction box - color - Since the front is always lit, I'd prefer to have no IR light on the camera - IR-cut would be nice too. Thanks
