That looks very neat. Our house is 1930's -I'll get up and remove the insulation later on to have a look, but I dont think it'll have that broad escape route for a cable.

Wow 1930's, I'll be surprised if it even has a cavity. You may now no choice but to pin direct to the outer wall.

First storey soffit installs are not a good location for facial identification, the angle is way to high and at night IR range is not ideal. I have a single camera at this height that I use to 'overvue' my front of house. I have 3 other cameras (at the front of my house), 2 at ground floor ceiling height and one mini dome at face height by my front door.
Camera heights need to be chosen based on task not ease of install. If you are interested in seeing faces, I would recommend no more than 3m (or height of your first floor joists - that is where I tend to feed cables if I can. It is often easier to fish them up a dry liner and into an attic. You may need to make an odd hole to get around the dabs, but I have a 100% success rate so far. I know that they wont be in-cap using this method, but sometimes the client (often wife) does not want a whole wall chasing, for CCTV cables.

I guess as these photos show the cavity must come out at the attic so maybe it will be ok.

Where are you based? I follow a lot of good installers on Instagram and I could likely point you in the direction of a reputable installer.
