I need solutions on keeping these cams installed? In a brick apartment building, can’t make any permanent changes. Have gone three 15’ rolls of Velcro Extreme, claims to be weather resistant and will hold up to 15 pounds. But a 90 degree day or a little bit of rain just washes them off. The last one hanging on, decided to fall this morning. I bought waterproof adhesive acrylic shelves, I’m thinking of trying to mount to the brick (hopefully they work brick wasn’t in their compatibility list) and some supposed amazing super adhesive patches that are supposedly able to withstand stand -40 degrees F and up to 130F, but I’m hesitant…
Do you have any other places you can mount on to?
Like gutter downspouts or outdoor electrical piping?
Is the surface of the brick smooth or textured because textured surfaces will make it a lot harder for adhesive to stick to. There is the 3M adhesive extreme outdoor double-sided tape you can try.
These other mounting solutions may help..
No gutters. Maybe I can figure out some way to rig one to a post on the porch but seeing how, I can’t find any aftermarket mounts for them. The brick is smooth, the extreme Velcro is supposedly designed for this stuff but it can’t take the heat and apparently it would fall off in winter too. I just used an entire pack of these 3 double sided tape things yesterday trying to mount two of them, I’ll just say that was a waste of money! Yesterday’s high was only 85 but that stuff is supposed to withstand from -40 to 130f but kept falling off! Maybe part of the issue has to do with the camera not being flat. Hopefully someone will make a mount for these things. Currently do have two Velcro’s to acrylic shelves… But don’t think it’ll last a week.
Might not last 24 hours lol. At work right now, just checked on them. Both at starting to fall! I could see the rec center on the other side of that field now one I can see the cars partially… The other is higher up but sure they’ll be face down on the ground by the time I get home lol.
