The Wyze Cam lineup has grown from the original v1 through to the current v4, and across all four generations, one thing has stayed consistent: they all use a standard 1/4″-20 threaded mounting hole. That single detail opens up a wide range of third-party mounts beyond the stand that ships

The Nest Temperature Sensor is a small but surprisingly powerful accessory for your Nest Thermostat system. If your thermostat is tucked away in a hallway — a room you pass through rather than live in — this little puck lets you shift control to wherever you actually spend your time.
The Echo Dot is designed to sit on a table or shelf—but that’s not always the best place for it. In fact, once you start looking at how people actually use Echo devices, it becomes clear that default placement is often the least efficient option. Kitchen counters get crowded. Nightstands
The Google Nest Cam lineup covers a lot of ground. The wired indoor model sits on a magnetic base that can be placed on a shelf or screwed to a wall. The battery-powered indoor and outdoor model uses a different attachment system entirely. And the older wired outdoor model uses
