Outdoor Camera Mount
Just recently bought an outside camera and was wondering if there are any gutter or non-screw products I can use to mount the camera?

Hi @kharford
The Outdoor Camera has two ways to mount it, with the included hardware or with the permanent mount, which is better suited for overhangs. You can find the permanent mount as an accessory on the product page for Outdoor Camera.
While we don't have a solution for gutters, that is a great suggestion. I'll be sure to share this with our team internally.

Mounting dome failure
I went to change the battery on one of my 3 outdoor cameras and discovered a problem. When i took the camera off of the mount (standard dome mount) the metal magnet dome came off with the camera itself. The metal magnet dome has a plastic dome insert inside the metal one and apparently the adhesive between the plastic and metal dome failed. I was really surprised that given this condition i didn't find the camera on the ground! This may be a big problem ongoing if the adhesive starts to fail more widely in the install base. I hope to call support and get a replacement this week. SS LMK if you have any comment to this situation. thanks, D

Simplisafe is way behind in mounting accessories no gutter mounts or any other options i wish there design department or engineering department was better at listening to there customers. The only options are universal third party companies.

Look online at 3rd party companies as they have tons of aftermarket accessories for simplisafe and all there products but not sure how a gutter mount would work as the outdoor cameras are pretty heavy for a mount on a gutter to support it.

Hello,
I helped my cousin hard wire 2 cameras (with your USB power cables) , that we mounted under the soffit, and hardwired through the soffit, with power from the garage.
First off the silly mounts can only be "wall mounted not ceiling mounted" so the motion detector is screwed, and the camera is upside down.
I purchased some mounts, mounted them from the soffit, and drilled a 1/4" hole through the black plastic mount, used the 1/4" stud with a nut, installed the metal dome and put on the camera....
Everything is not great. THE MAGNET IS LOCATED INSIDE THE CAMERA, NOT THE BLACK MOUNT, THE CAMERA DROOPS WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS. SO HOW ARE YOU REPLACING MOUNTS, YOU WILL NEED A NEW CAMERA TO GET A DIFFERENT MAGNET....
Please respond asap, not happy...
