The Arlo Certified Accessory VMA1000 Smart Home Adjustable Mount for Wireless Wi-Fi CCTV HD Security Camera is a convenient and sturdy accessory that allows you to easily mount your camera for optimal positioning. One of the standout features of this mount is its adjustable design, which provides about 5 inches of elevation and 360 degrees of rotation. Additionally, you can tilt the camera approximately 90 degrees, allowing for flexibility in capturing the desired angle and view. Customers have praised the sturdiness of the mount, noting that it does a good job of supporting the camera. The base of the mount has three screw holes, and the necessary mounting hardware is included, making installation a breeze. Some users have mentioned using a bit of lithium grease on the threads for smoother operation. Overall, customers are satisfied with the performance and recommend this mount as an upgrade over the one that comes with the camera. A common concern among customers is the lack of instructions and mounting screws included in the package. Some have reported receiving used packages with missing hardware. Additionally, a few customers have mentioned that the screw holes on the mount are not evenly placed. These issues have caused frustration for some users who were expecting a seamless experience. In terms of battery life, customers have reported that the longevity depends on the activity and the number of triggers. In locations where the camera is triggered 2-3 times per day, the battery lasts approximately 2.5 months. For areas with more activity, the battery drains faster. Alternatively, you have the option to connect the camera to AC power using the appropriate cable. It's worth noting that if you choose to use the camera outdoors, it is recommended to purchase the Arlo external power cable and avoid the indoor version that comes with the camera. Regarding video storage, the camera records to the cloud, but you can download the footage to your computer for additional backup or viewing options. In terms of compatibility, the mount is suitable for Arlo cameras and appears to work with the Arlo Ultra camera, as the connection in the back seems to be the same. Overall, the Arlo Certified Accessory VMA1000 Smart Home Adjustable Mount provides a solid and convenient mounting solution for Arlo cameras. Its adjustable design and sturdy Construction have earned praise from customers who appreciate its performance. However, the lack of instructions and missing hardware in some packages, as well as unevenly placed screw holes, have resulted in frustration for certain users.
