Suggestions welcome. Thanks
Might want to check on a gutter mount if this is a Nest Battery Camera.

I've drilled 1/2" holes in concrete footings for my gazebo with nothing but a dewalt 20 volt. It wasn't easy or fun but it can be done. Might have burnt out the drill though. LOL. Seems like there are other options for mounting that may work for me.

I always wanted to own a hammer drill. Now, I don't need one. Bummer.
