Review on Versatile Adjustable Wall Mount with Enhanced Security for Both Indoor and Outdoor Use by Jason Hayes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't buy this! in Security & Surveillance

At first this seemed like a good deal. Now they're in the trash. First, they are cheap fakes. The camera kit I bought included 1 secure external mount like this one and 3 magnetic mounts. I needed a stronger mount so I added these two here. From the start I knew I had made a mistake. They are slightly smaller than the factory mount and are made from much cheaper pop metal. I installed them anyway. I had trouble positioning the camera as the ball joint offered no resistance to keep the camera in place. After a bit of fiddling and fine-tuning, I got it working, but barley. A few months have passed and it's time to replace the battery. The thread on the mount was so badly rusted that it caught the mount on the camera. Luckily it didn't damage the camera threads after I ripped them off with pliers. Spend 5-10 euros more. Buy official mounts recommended by Arlo. It's garbage. You have been warned ;)

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Clarity
