Two years ago (!) I impulse bought the G4 PTZ camera during their Black Friday sale!
And then I wasn't sure how to mount it in a way that wouldn't leave permeant scarring on the house! Ideally, I was looking for a way to not drill any holes!
Two years flew by between periods of being too busy to deal with and sometimes just forgetting that I had it! When I did think about it, I couldn't come up with a great way to mount it.
But then I found Unistrut and figured that it was a decent middle ground. Even though I would have to drill holes in the house, at least it could be reused in the future if I upgraded the camera or wanted to put something else there entirely. And even if nothing is there, I feel it's not an eyesore.
So this was a two-foot section of half-slot Unistrut that I cut in half and bolted to the house with Spax screws. Then I cut a piece of 2x12 to size and drilled it, mounted the G4 PTZ mount to it, and installed it!
Even though I think the smaller Unistrut looks better and less obtrusive, in the future, I think I would have gone with the full size Unistrut as the spring-loaded nuts are a pain to load.
I just thought I would post my install in case anyone else needed an idea. Previous searches never yielded any results I would be satisfied with, so maybe someone will find this someday and find it helpful.

Really dig the drug dealer surveillance vibe this give
I think that's the resort that Sosa ran
Nice install, might have to steal the idea.
As someone who regularly works with unistrut, with the shallow stuff, rip the springs off the spring nuts, put them loose on the bolts, and load the whole thing as one unit. Without the springs, merely turning the bolts will line them up.
Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing
The beast!!!!
Love the fact that you color matched your mount!
Thanks! I was lucky to find a spray paint that was pretty spot on to the trim!
