Outdoor Camera Unsecured Magnetic Mount
Hello, an outdoor security camera with an unsecured magnetic mount is completely defeating the purpose of reliable outdoor camera security. A friend with a SimplySafe system and outdoor magnetic mount was concerned with how secure the magnet mount is. He shared with me he was able to slap the camera off his home quite easily. What if a bird lands on the camera? I asked. I need to purchase an outdoor camera yet I'm hesitant. Why not include a secure mount to protect the integrity of the camera rather than making it necessary to buy a secure mount sold separately? These outdoor cameras are expensive.

In your app you can order the permanent mount for it and it will not go anywhere.

I have two o the permanent mounts sitting in a drawer, at the ready when my two magnetic mounts fail...and after two years or whenever they first came out, still waiting. The magnet mount works fine, that is, unless you have to angle the camera beyond its proper mounting position. For me, at least, no issues.

I found that you need to mount the outdoor camera base in wood and really crank the magnet on to the base for it to click in solidly. If you are screwed into any other material, it will probably rip right out. The motion detector sucks at night if it is in a dark location.
