You might want to get more specifics about the meaning of "weather
resistant". Sound iffy. How about one of those rectangular hoods mounted
with the camera, even if you do install it near the eaves?

Thank you to everyone who responded. I greatly appreciate your help.
I think I may consider installing in the eaves, I was planning to
install
the camera in the northeast corner of the house (looking at the house
from the front)
and have it pointing forward towards the front. Although the camera is
supposedly
weather-resistant, maybe the eaves will give additional protection from
the elements.
I don't have any problems drilling holes in the side of my house
though. The holes
would be pretty small.

Hello:

My first time posting here.

For the first time in my life I'm a homewoner, and have little
experience in diy or working
with tools. At 40 now, I'm trying to catch up in a lot things others
learned
years ago but did not have the right circumstances to do that. I want
to learn and doing projects and repair myself I find rewarding and fun.
But I'm overwhelmed at times.

My question. I would like to drill holes into the side
of my house. The holes will be small. It's for a small surveillance
camera.
The siding is the traditional wood siding, no baten board, aluminum or
vinyl.

My question is: Are there studs behind the wood to look for? I'm
guessing there are, I guess
that's the "framing" of the house. Can I just drill on any area of
wood? How deep should I drill?
if there's no studs, how will the screws hold?

Thank you,

Chris
