Netgear VueZone Home Security Camera Mounts

VueZone is a home security camera line marketed by Netgear.  The Netgear VueZone was released several years ago and has since been replaced by a series of Arlo cameras.  If you haven’t purchased your security camera system yet, consider the Arlo instead of the older generation VueZone.   The VueZone comes with one or more dome-shaped magnetic mounts in the box.  This camera has a curved recess on the back which fits onto the dome.  The back of the dome mount has an adhesive disk and it sticks pretty darn good to almost any clean smooth surface.  You can optionally use screws on … Read more



Nest Cam and DropCam Mounts for Home Security

The Nest Cam and DropCam Pro are great cameras.  Excellent video and audio quality with real useful apps for checking in remotely.  The mount out of the box is fine for tabletop use but what if you wanted to mount it anywhere else?  That’s the purpose of this article.  We look at some alternative DropCam Pro and Nest Cam mounts.  The nice part about these smaller cameras is they can be mounted in some fairly innovative locations. Most owners of a DropCam Pro or Nest Cam use these for surveillance.  The cameras are made to use indoors only as the casing … Read more



Outdoor Home Security Camera Mounts

Several well known security camera manufacturers have recently introduced models that are made to work outdoors.  An excellent example is the Arlo Smart Home Security Camera.  Like most outdoor cameras, these are waterproof and made to withstand typical weather elements such as snow, ice and rain.  Today we discuss outdoor home security camera mounts. Outdoor home security camera mounts are not all created equal.  I have seen some inexpensive imports made of plastic that aren’t likely to hold up to a decent wind storm.  Don’t make the mistake of saving a few dollars for a mount as breakage will result … Read more

Home Mounts and Tripods for the Amcrest ProHD Camera

The Amcrest ProHD Home Security Camera is one of the latest from Amcrest targeted towards home security.  The Amcrest ProHD Camera is a great piece of hardware with a so-so smartphone app. It’s great for those that want a camera and are somewhat technical.  Not for beginners. Out of the box, the Amcrest ProHD Camera is designed to sit on a desk or shelf.  This isn’t a typical home security camera.  It’s somewhat old school in design.  The lens sits within a round ball that can be swiveled and pivoted.  It provides a very wide-angle view as long as you have … Read more



Yi Home Camera Mounts for Home Security

I recently picked up an inexpensive home security camera called the Yi Home Camera.  If you’re looking for an inexpensive home security with some high-end features, it’s a good candidate. Most Yi Home Camera owners will use the camera with its included stand sitting on a desk, table or shelf.  If you’re happy with the camera sitting on one of those surfaces, you can stop reading.  The included weighted stand will work well for that purpose.  But what if you want to mount the Yi Home Camera on a wall, other vertical surface or perhaps in a more stealth environment? … Read more
